...and I'm not really sure what I should do with it to fix it up.
It's pretty big to me at 65' deep by 45' wide plus a 65' x 25' lean to. The floor is some mix of dirt, straw, gravel, and nearly fossilized horse manure. It's full of old lumber, windows, siding, a few rusty old bicycles, carpet, pallets, an old 240v rotisserie, 5 cats, and a couple of pigeons. The doors on one side of it are gone and the doors on the other side are being held up by a metal pole braced against the ground. There are currently no utilities run to it but it looks as though there was electric service to it at one time running a single light bulb. As you can see by the picture, it's a low barn with no hay loft.
My plan is to have a couple of horses on the property with a couple of horse stalls to match. I'll need a place to store some hay, horse gear, etc. I will also have a CUT and associated implements to store. I don't have any sort of workshop right now either, so it could possibly go out in the barn or could be a separate building.
I'm looking for thoughts and ideas from this experienced group of how I can best refurbish and use this big building to it's fullest potential. So...hit me with your best shot...
