Hello Experts,
I have posted a few questions about our 200 yr old PA bank barn and have always gotten prompt helpful replies. Thank you!
I cannot find anyone experienced in repairing old barns in the area.
My new question revolves around choosing to repair the barn, paint the barn, put in stalls etc. OR
Renovate the barn for a family retreat/living space since there is no house on the property.
I have been advised that the cost of renovating the barn for horses would be far more expensive than building a new barn with a few stalls. I also know that bank barns are rare and beautiful. I would love to have a place to stay in the winter months when I go out daily to care for the animals.
Is it easier and cheaper to just build from the ground up?
I need some guidance. Any ideas?
Thank you. Kristan
