Hay Barn for Paradigm.

Many months ago, Jason posted about their dilemma in terms of how to design a muti-purpose barn at the new property of Paradigm Farms. Being without my husband all summer I am always either too busy or have too much time to myself (late at night, for example). So, I started goofing around with a paint "drawing" of how I thought their new barn could work. I don't think I finished it as per my original idea (whatever that was) and a few days went by, life happened, etc., and I figured the time had passed for posting it. But Jason seems to like my paint drawings, so I had to share the one I did just for Paradigm, lol. I'm sure they have long since designed and built the perfect barn!

So, without further ado...

You can see we have short-term horse lodging, crossties for vet/farrier work, a feed preparation room, and hay and/or equipment storage. Of course, the whole thing would be covered with a roof but could be relatively open on the sides, assuming appropriate roof overhang.

And that is almost exactly what we did!

your paint skills are quite excellent! :-)

Wow, that is pretty darn close to what we built! It isn't actually completely finished out but the shell is built and the final product will be pretty darn similar to your drawing!

Lol, that's hilarious.

Laura, one of my many talents...right up there with copy/paste specialist ;-)

that's a great set-up! i had a similar vision for a combined run-in shed/hay barn, only i had most of my hay going into a loft above the whole thing... yours is much better, but it doesn't matter because i don't have anywhere left on the farm to put it :-\
