my shop/barn
when my wife and i bought our property in 97, i told her ''love the barn, will make the house work''
 30x50 10 stall horse barn with a 18x50 animal shed attached down one side originally. gutted the stalls (including up to 5 ft of horse dooky), pressure washed everything and set up shop. eventually put up walls, knocked down a wall for g-door, stairs, insulation, sheetrock and some new doors. barn floor is 1.5 inches thick hand poured concrete from the 30s and sloped to a manure trough (now filled in). a couple of yrs back i tore the roof off the animal shed-turned-carport and poured a slab and made a real garage out of it. little shed on the front was the milk house with a big cooler for milk cans, now the garden shed. the garage has 2- 9ft and 1- 16ft doors into it and one 9ft door into the shop/barn from the garage. the front 20ft of the barn is my workshop, sheetrocked and insulated for working in MI winters. mid section is for working on vehicles/welding and can be heated, just not cheaply. last section is for junk/parts (what's the diff?) 8ft ceilings through out, so no hoist in my future unless i cut thru the 2nd floor (which i am debating). hopefully asphalt parking area will go in this summer if the boss so desires 68 elco is my son's, in storage while he finishes grad school.
