Figured I'd title this in the standard 'New guy from PLACE' 
I've been poking around this site since about a year ago, which is when I bought my first house (March 2014). It has a wonderful old barn (the house was built in 1913, the barn sometime later, haven't come across records on when it was actually built) with 3 sections, as you can see in this picture (the exterior is a picture from the listing, the barn has since been somewhat repaired/repainted and I had the roof replaced in September):
Interior is a whole lotta old wood.
According to my...well experienced neighbor (he's old), the original owner of the house was an expert cabinet maker, and the whole back half of the barn was a wood shop, with at least a half-dozen tools running off a single motor with a belt system. Would have loved to see that.
Anyway, I'm going to start a thread on this, but my immediate plans are to figure out how to get some kind of heat out there so I can make it at least comfortable for some work on the miata during the winter. If that ends up being a propane heater so be it, but I'd like to avoid insulating the whole thing for now. Future plans are grand, would like to get a slab poured in the garage area with radiant heating...but that's off in the distance.
Anyway, I've already learned a lot from you folks, looking forward to experiencing other people's ideas and being part of the community
