Title: I have always wanted a barn...
Post by: JW_Halverson 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!

What is with you? Where you raised in a house?

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

  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.

JW  I had no idea that my cooking reputation had traveled so far.  Even though my whole house could fit in that front room, my place is cozy, and if you came, you would feel at home.  Then we could go to the barn--which has more space for a 3-D archery course 8)

All over. Who really wants grass to mow, and where there is grass we can have goats. Free mowing, and rawhide and sinew.  8)

Jeff, either you are a wonderful cook, or your wife is. If you weren't so tall I might question your ability to cook. never trust a skinny cook.

What is with you? Where you raised in a house?

This brings to mind a saying my old Grandad used ta use,when someone asked someone,if they were,born in a barn.

Hed reply,"Yeah and every time i see a horses a$$,it makes me homesick and boy am i homesick right about now".
