The Barn Layout


Our barn is split into 6 major sections:
  1. Lower-level of main barn with 4 stalls
  2. The lower-level entrance / tool shed
  3. Milk shed lower-level
  4. Gym (used to be a shed for tractors)
  5. Upper-level of main barn (aka hay mow)
  6. Milk shed upper-level
I started to list all the things I've had to do so far by section:

1 - Main barn lower-level
  • Repaired / replaced all windows
  • Built staircase to upper-level
  • Patched concrete floor
  • Stained siding
2 - Tool shed

  • Added gutters
5 - Main barn upper-level
