Eddie - Thanks for the comments. Yea, always 20 ways to skin a cat. The greatness about this site is the level of craftsmanship and skill level that is willing to offer advice and suggestions. I am in awe at some the the skill levels of posters on this thread - amazing really.

Good look with the Onion. My opinion - it begs for copper. However, easy for me to say when it is not mine or on my property. I think we all have a vision for our piece of property and how it will be built out.

I respect you and your long term vision for your place. I actually hired (on the reccomendation of a neighbor) a farm planner for my place. Best money I have spent. Gave me great insights into scale and building placements/etc. Ie: Everything should be cohesive.

Be sure to post the onion once done.

Hello,
In the start of this thread you said that you like the look of a horse barn , but that you are really not a horse person. It may be a dumb question, but then why did you configure the barn to have 12 horse stalls instead of just keeping it more open? Just curious !

MFWD,

Great Question and one that I had a given a lot of thought to. Not sure if right, but here is my answer......

I love the look of a nice horse barn. The location begged for an over the top barn. I actually wanted to do a smaller barn, but given the location I had to size the barn to the hillside.

I am not a horse person, but in the event I ever wanted to sell my property, a fully operating horse barn adds a ton to the potential resale.

I have a crazy idea of hosting events at my property (food/wine pairings), so a nice horse barn seemed like a solid choice.
