A barn becoming a home

My husband, Sjon, knew early on that he would never be able to get me to come home from the barn. So, he wisely decided to build us a barn that is also a home.

The lower floor, the horse part of the barn, came first (of course) - but we are now starting on an upstairs apartment for ourselves.

The construction on the tackroom begins, below the bedroom upstairs.

From upstairs, this will be the view of the arena as seen from our living room.

The apartment walls, windows and roof are now up. There's lots more to do before we can move in, but we're feeling like things are rolling in the right direction at last!
