Barndominium

Converting a barn into a home is part construction, part archaeology. Start with the structure, then work inward.

Start here

  1. Have the frame and foundation inspected before you fall in love with the layout.
  2. Check zoning, permits and whether the building can be converted to residential use where you live.
  3. Plan water, septic or sewer, power and insulation early. They drive the budget.

The full step-by-step guide is coming soon.
