My father built a red barn just like you are building many years ago and he had a rec room in the back for the guys to hang out and play cards. Upstairs in the loft he had many things such as dowel making tools to make wood legs and such with. He worked so hard and it was a sight for sore eyes. He built it on the main road going into a small town in Kentucky. People from far and near would stop to look at this beautiful barn. Oh yeah forgot, it had a basement to keep the farm tools. He planned and worked so hard but then he got cancer and never could enjoy the many things he had planned. I so hope you enjoy your barn and everytime I see the picture I think of my home. God bless you Barefoot.
