The Barn

   The barn is what we are calling our temporary house that I am building for us to live in, while we wait on the plans for and build our cob. We have called it our barn because that is what we have designed it to look like.  In fact the inspiration came from a 16'x16' shed we found at one of the big box hardware stores. Why dont we just purchase the one from the store and modify it? Because we looked into it and saw how little you actually get, and how much work would need to go into it. At that point, we decided it would be cheaper, and just as hard (as they do not come assembled) to build it from the ground up. So we took this opportunity to make a few design changes. What we ended up with was a 16'x20', two story, 614 sq ft house with a barn style roof.
