Barn Befores

So here are a few pictures of our future home on the range. As you can see, it's just shy of livable in its present state. I'm driving up this weekend so we can lay out our renovation plan, and then, depending on how far a hundred bucks gets us, J may or may not be able to camp inside come next week. He's not real worried though, since he's been RVing in the driveway for several days now and thinks he can easily do another month in that lap of luxury. I wonder if he could just drive the Airstream right on into the barn? Talk about the best of both worlds.

A lot of imagination is needed to see what we see in this photo.

Front doors and downstairs. Bugs and small critters may be a problem given these doors don't quite close.

Downstairs. And tractor oil stains, which I think we'll keep. Adds character.

 Though we are free spirits, we've decided that we do, indeed, need more than a few wall studs separating the bathroom from everything else. Especially since the kitchen will run the length of the same side of the room. That could get really awkward.

So far, the raddest part of the barn: the upstairs oil drum heater. I know it's easy to assume it's just decorative, but it's not.

Upstairs. My favorite part, besides the heater? The lonely sink on the left.
