The Frazier Barn
JOB DESCRIPTION: This barn renovation project for a repeat customer
included taking an old bank barn and renovating it for use as a new horse
barn with a modern tack room. We used natural quarry limestone, built new
barn style doors, and dug out the existing ground to pour new concrete
floors. We reused reclaimed wood from the barn and reinforced the existing
structure with new concrete footings, natural stone foundation walls and
reclaimed lumber, and added operable windows to increase ventilation. This
made for a large family gathering room in the barn.
FROM THE CLIENT: "Thanks for sending the photographs. It is shocking what a
difference there is between then and now. You should submit these to an
Architectural makeover contest. The dark basement before we installed
windows was downright scary. I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome
of this project. Thank you for sharing with us your design skills, and
expertise. Getting the entire project on paper and then sticking to the
plans is just beyond our capabilities. We both really appreciate your
willingness to allow the remodeling effort to evolve. Vision, enthusiasm
and a "can do" attitude are the traits that you brought to the barn
renovation are also the reason I will never undertake a building project
without having you at the helm."
