In Reply to: Pole Barn Style Homes posted by fudpucker on September 08, 2015 at 12:01:36:
There are some folks that have one just north of me in Michigan on one of the lakes. Pretty slick idea as far as I'm concerned. From the road, no windows, just a steel pole barn. The back half on both ends, big drive in slider doors, one end a garage, the other end boat, tractor, other stuff. The front half and upstairs, home with lot of windows facing the lake, Greek columns and stuff. To see it from the road, would have no idea. I have to imagine that it must be cheaper on taxes, just guessing. In my business, I've seen homes from the outside that one would say needs to be burned down, but go inside is a palace. I go into businesses that are in pole barns that look like pole barns, but go inside...wow, what digs.
I don't live in one, but I sure wouldn't knock it or anyone that proposes doing so. As a matter of fact, across and down the road, a young lady inherited 10 acres that her father willed her after his death after being on life support in a nursing home for some 15 or so years. His log home in its day was probably sharp, but after setting for 15 or so years, needs to be razed. But his daughter and her ex-husband/boyfriend lived in a 30' travel trailer for a couple of years while turning the old wooden barn into an incredible home. From the outside, old wooden barn, no paint, now has windows. Inside? Holy cow, really fixed up into something incredible. Sets off back in a woods and other than the new drive cut through to it, wouldn't know its even there.
Good luck, its your money, follow yor dreams, and best of luck.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of Farm Machinery - by Joe Michaels. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, specializing in powerplant work. I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery. I credit my parents for instilling a lot of good values, a respect for learning, a knowledge of various skills and a little knowledge of farming in me, amo
