I've got a 2K sq/ft house and it's twice as much as I need. (I live alone.)
If the housing market ever comes back I'm selling my place and either building something like the Tumbleweed (over a large underground bunker) or something like the below pic:
That thing is gorgeous!
I sure understand what your saying...I moved from a 2300 sq foot home into a little over 1000 sq feet and that include washer and dryer in the living space not in the basement...had to downsize a lot, but could use more storage space....it was easier to keep the larger home neat and know where everthing was...still have too much STUFF.
What a great barn.
I really like the raised center. Having just replaced my gutters, I realized I hate being up higher than about 10 feet, but I think I could go up on that place and repair the roof without too much trouble.
I need to find a barn that incorporates a greenhouse for my wife - then we’d both be happy.
