I think on here we all could find a use for a 80' building. What's your ideas?
1. Inspect the roof to see what it's true condition is...........roof repair can be a very large % of the cost of any re-purpose endeavor or project.
2. Is there any machinery inside...belt elevator or screw conveyor?
3. Is it 'drive-thru'?

Sides are all closed in with cement floors and a lower drive thru middle with a dirt floor. The two upper stories have a wooden grain storage system in them. It's still set up to fill it with grain you can fill the top then the sides with different grain.

Our plan includes opening the sides inside, hay on the west side, and rabbits (other critters??) and hay on the east. Also on the east side we want to add a full length lean to with another aisle, stalls and a tack room. Eventually we will remove the grain system and use the remaining loft for hay storage. We should be able to take hay wagons right through to unload or... leave.
Yes I will get more photos.

:idunno The options are vast... All a matter of what you need, and if you can marry that up somehow with a way to generate cash flow...
