Unknown Drip Posts: 5624 Location: Back in MT BABY!!!	I like that layout....We looked into some of these and what was a draw back to me was the barn either under the house or right next to it. Even though I am used to the smell of my horses I didn't want my house to smell like a barn. This layout atleast has the garage as a buffer for the house from the barn.

That's White "Man" to You Posts: 5515	Many people with the house/barn combos have problems with mice and the sorts getting into the house thru the barn.

A very grounded girl Posts: 5052 Location: Moving soon.....	Here is what we had. We have moved. I wish we could have picked it up and moved it. It was all steel beams and pipe. The only wood was the apartment.

Party Girl Posts: 12293 Location: Buffalo, Wyoming	This is the house we sold 2 years ago, it is up for sale again. I would love to build another one like it but just a little bigger. My SO did all the outside work, we did the bathroom together and then hired the rest of the inside out to a local contractor. We lived with just plywood inside for sometime. It was a great house for just the 2 of us but we hated the area it was in. http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/66-Prairie-Breeze-Rd-Riverton-WY-82501/2117911290_zpid/

Expert Posts: 2457	My SO and I looked into building one of these too!! I lived in one when I first moved to KS and wish to heck the landlord would not have sold the place but ... such is life. I loved feeding my horses in my slippers in the morning! Check insurance providers ... many will require a type of "fire buffer" between the horse space and the human living space. The OP picture has a garage used in this manner. Just something to think about when planning one out!

I think all ours was, was more plywood and sheetrock on the barn/garage side.
