Hair, I have been looking at barn plans and some have house barns where there is a house that attaches or living quarters tacked on at the end or upstairs. You think this is practical or just a fad? I can see the convenience, esp on bad weather days but I wonder about smells, rodents, and fire hazards.

I think smells, rodents and fire hazards are all good things to wonder about! But all have solutions.

I've designed a barn with living quarters in it for my boarding stable. My idea is the barn and that place will go up first, and a house perhaps later. Mine is a small apt and would make a good office or quarters for a caretaker person later.
