b'ski, you cant use the dutch barn style cause it was my original idea for you, however before i suggested it... but now that you throw it out, i think you should use my idea of gambrel architecture....looks quaint and maximizes square footage and liveable space. i am still dreaming of having my shop/barn and it will be in that style when i can figure out how to afford it.
Well Dave, I musta liked it cuz I already got's one. It took Dski and I an entire summer to build it working on weekends. I stayed clear of it mostly because I wanted to try something else.
after seeing how bent you were on the horse barn (raised center aisle we call them out here) i couldnt bring myself to say anything
I am still having a hard time with that one. It just doesn't work for me, regardless of who draws it.

I totally agree with your points on the gambrel roof dutch barn wrt efficient use of floorspace. It's a classic design and works well with just about any country home design. I also like keeping the footprint smaller and still getting a good bang on square footage.
