I have always wanted a barn...
« on: December 13, 2015, 02:13:56 pm »
Something about them has always fascinated me.  I've long wanted to buy an old timberframed barn and restore it into a house, maybe even leaving the hay loft upstairs as an archery range. 

I think I may have found the perfect barn for this job, if I can scoop together the money for the down payment!

John, I think you have a better chance getting back to the Classic.   Heck, you'd get lost in that place and we'd have to call out the rescue squad.

That looks like three or more barns!

I can't stop humming the theme to "Green Acres".

That "barn" is less than five minutes from my house.  Buy it and we can be neighbours. I will invite you over for barbeque.

Go for it ... only live once!

  My step dad turned a barn into construton offices. Turned each side of the loffs into full liveing quarters. Really nice it's since been turned into a radio station.

Hell, why don't we all become Roomies. We can move the Birds in as well.

Orem is a bit of a strange place though JW. It takes a bit of practice to live in Utah, then there is Utah County.

Every place in the world I have lived has been strange, each in its own way.  Utah Valley is certainly no exception.  We do have some sweet mountains--but at that cabin we will have to decide where we are going to plant the yew and osage groves.

If he had that place then why would he be coming to your place for BBQ. I'd be having the party at his place.

With 20 bathrooms I could live there a week and never use the same toilet.
