April 2009 Barn Of The Month

This 26' x 40' Gambrel is fully insulated with 4" of insulation on all framed outside walls.  It also includes (8) 56" x 78" Gable dormer add-ons with 8/8 insulated double hung windows.  The upstairs is offers a large space for a guest room, bathroom and great room.  The downstairs is has sheetrock with exposed beams to provide a finished look for the garage area.  A 48" x 48" wooden cupola with Copper Indian Chief weathervane caps off the barn.

A unique touch for this barn was the use of Hemlock from the customer's property that was used for some of the knee braces throughout.
