Well, its probably not the type of barn you are thinking of, but we call it a barn because we plan to use it for any random livestock that we happen to acquire in the future. Currently, the barn is what we call our home. We have a travel trailer parked under it, and along with the cargo container (otherwise known as "the box"), it is where we live. The size of the barn is 45' by 44' which gives us just under 2000 sq. ft. to work and play in.
On the south side of the barn we have enough space to shelter two vehicles and use the rest for other random storage. On the north side is a porch of sorts; there is a workshop area, summer kitchen, and the travel trailer. This is where we spend most of our time.
I am currently in the process of installing electrical outlets and lighting throughout the barn, but with the summer days lasting so long, we rarely need much extra lighting. So this tends to get pushed down the list and replaced by other things like the garden (partly shown above)...but I will let Alesha tell you about that since she has done most of the work for it.

Thanks for the photo! Does having two roofs over your head help moderate both heat and cold? Do you have many bugs where you are? Blessings, Beck's Mom
The large barn roof has help greatly as the weather has gotten warmer. Earlier this spring (when the highs were barely in the 80s) the box used to get extremely hot before it was under the shade of the barn roof.
Yes, we have quite a few bugs, but we also have several birds that have been eating the bugs too! More annoying than the bugs are the rabbits and mice...they eat at the garden and other desirable things.
Enjoy!
