Here is a view of my barn so far. I am gradually building it to house my studio in the loft which will be super-insulated and heated with a wood stove and maybe a solar air heating panel to the right of the big windows.

Downstairs left and center, I covered the studs with a greenhouse poly and I’m putting slatted siding over this with screws. El-cheapo moderist detailing that makes for a beautiful storage room inside.

April 4 note: I have spent $13,600 so far and will probably double that when all is said and done.
