I wasn’t involved, but I was the Assessor at the time and had to come up with the assessed value. Really cool place.

no, but have you thought about a "barndominium"?

i.e. tear down the current barn and build new? i think that would be the better long term move, would make sure you got your electrical, insulation, and plumbing right. barndominium might not have the aesthetic you are going for, so maybe a bad recommendation on my part.

i've lived in old homes before, kind of a pain in the ass, the guts just aren't modern, there's always something. you end up having a house of Theseus.

About once a month I get asked if we allow "Bardominiums" or "Shouses"

I don't know what the fuck that is... you can build a house... there are practically no design standards for single family homes so you can make your castle look like whatever you want so go nuts guy.

Barndominium = fancy pole barn *

As Midwestern of a term both are, kind of surprised you're not familiar with it.

For the record, when my kids are completely out of the house I'd be all for a shouse - just want a partial basement with it. (Way too many tornados these days.) Don't need as much space in terms of regular living area, but expandable for parties, etc. And I can finally have my indoor basketball halfcourt.

You looking to live in a barndominium, Nobby?
