Here's what i started out with

The sides of the barn foundation has the bigger stone as it's foundation. That's where i started digging and figured it ran that way all around. But like i said when i got to the back wall and 8 foot in i noticed that the Stone stopped. I'm not sure if it runs that way to the other corner. I...

I'm moving from having a 2 car garage to this old barn from the 1800's..most of it was rebuilt but it sits on the original Stone Rock foundation, it's built into the earth so there's a ground level section which right now had a Ford Model 600 tractor..since it's a dirt floor, it's not very high...

i guess there are none.

I'm buying a house with a really nice Barn that i'm going to use as my shop. It's hard finding pictures of other Barns that are hot rodded up. besides Buickfarmers barn are there any others? I need some inspiration and a few tips..
