It's gonna be pretty much a twin of the garage apartment, without the shed dormers. Quite simply, a classic gambrel roof barn design. The Gar/apt is a 28 x 44 footprint on a stemwall footer. The Tractor barn will be 24 x 48 slab with thickened edges. Dski and I will be building it ourselves....again. Lord, I hope this is the last big construction project! 10 foot walls, one 12 x 9 overhead door, one service door, and a few windows. Yeah, a pair of the 5 foot sliders looking out onto the pond. We are going to pay a little bit more to try and simplify the project by using full gambrel trusses. They are designed to include the bonus room upstairs; 16 x 48. We need it for the badly needed storage that we lack in the gar/apt. Standing seam metal roof, 2 foot gable soffits. Whew! I ache just thinking about it.
