we think we have found a "donor" barn.

a barn that is being torn down that we can reclaim for our little barn. way bigger than what we need, but we don't have to take the whole thing. already have a plan and all.
but she is quite a beauty-

We have been farming on this acreage for about 5 years. We have sheep and chickens and I wish we had a barn. We use our garage like a barn and have a small shed we call the sheep shed but we can't afford to get a barn right now.

We dismantled a 30 x 90 old greenhouse and put it together back on our property but it cost us about $800. I suspect barns are a lot more complicated than greenhouses.
