Sure. Clearly no thought has been given to cold climate-living in these things with giant garage doors open to your cavernous living spaces. Every one of them is impossible to heat.

was gonna say i can only imagine the heating costs. i bet propane (and propane accessories) play a part.

as a barndominium expert, having watched too many of these videos, they all seem to be built with super mega insulation and use splits to air condition portions separately but it's still like air conditioning a mall and your heat would just go all to the ceiling. the one i was watching yesterday was explaining that because the bathroom is so far away from the hot water heater there is a motion sensor that turns on a motor when you enter the bathroom so that it moves hot water to the bathroom in anticipation of you turning on the sink or shower. lol. it's all just the most american thing.

i don't know how i'd keep a space that huge clean... wouldn't there be critters in there all the time?

thought this thread must have been revived for this modestly priced abode

This 7 bedroom converted church in London is currently for sale for £44,000,000. I’m obsessed.

i'd rather live in a barndo than that

Barndominiums look like gigantic trailer homes to my eyes. That's a lot of sheet metal flying around during a tornado.

APS, that one above looks awesome. Needs more Grape Nehi signs though.

pplains, Monday, 27 April 2020 18:09 (four years ago) link

There's a cool B&B in Kingston NY that's a converted church.

£44 million could buy a lot of barndos.

quick question: what is a pole barn

probable followup: ok so what is a barn then

― donald failson (sic), Monday, April 27, 2020 7:21 PM (yesterday)

Pole buildings and barns use a post-frame construction where laminated wood posts make up the bulk of the framing. The roof utilizes trusses connected by purlins. The exterior consists of steel panel claddings that “hold” the structure together. Contrary to popular belief, the construction does not include poles, or interior columns.

That seems clear enough (ddg's "purlins"), sure, got it.

By contrast, a stick-frame building contains a basement or crawlspace over which builders construct the building. The frame also requires a concrete foundation for support. Due to the construction of the foundation, building costs are far higher.

a barn is a building that has that roof shape

a barn is a garage for cows

ciderpress, Monday, 27 April 2020 21:27 (four years ago) link

A barn is a sanctuary in a unsettled world, a sheltered place where life's true priorities are clear. When you take a step back, it's not just about horses – its about love, life, and learning. ... Indeed, horses have the hearts of warriors and often carry us into and out fields of personal battles.

sic hasn't anyone ever asked you, "were you raised in a barn?"

forensic plumber (harbl), Monday, 27 April 2020 22:06 (four years ago) link

Only if you were behaving in that manner indicative of the particular shape aloft

Evan, Monday, 27 April 2020 22:39 (four years ago) link

Now there’s going to be a generation of kids who were raised in barns.

tokyo rosemary, Monday, 27 April 2020 22:41 (four years ago) link

When they grow up, perhaps they will raise barns.

they never asked me “was it a barn, a pole barn, or a pole building that you were raised in?”

donald failson (sic), Tuesday, 28 April 2020 02:12 (four years ago) link

feel like harble should've been quarantined for two weeks after watching those videos because now we're all infected with barndomania.

pplains, Tuesday, 28 April 2020 02:53 (four years ago) link

can't bolt the barndo now that the harbl's already out.

pplains, Tuesday, 28 April 2020 02:54 (four years ago) link

i want to search barndos on youtube but i probably need to do it in incognito b/c i don't want the harbl algorithm

"I mean think about it. What if instead of a chandelier, we just hung up a gigantic dream catcher. Like, five feet in diameter. That'd set the mood for this place, right?"

pplains, Tuesday, 28 April 2020 03:41 (four years ago) link

what if instead of one modular sofa we had like, seven of them. and three fireplaces.

i think that is the one with all the bathroom signs, also

forensic plumber (harbl), Tuesday, 28 April 2020 04:42 (four years ago) link

“what kind of counter is that?”
“i think it’s a black...leather...granite”
that exchange took such a right turn on me i had to lie down

and lol harbl that was exactly the kind of couch-tetris set I was picturing before you posted that video

terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 28 April 2020 05:38 (four years ago) link

So many horseshoes.... And I'm including the couches and leather bar counters in that as well.

That is the bathroom sign one.

Not a zinger, but the altar where I had my First Communion looked a lot like this.

I don't get the sides of the barndominium with metal signs advertising Shell, Texaco, Mobile, Exxon, Sinclair, Phillips 66... There was never a wall that had all that crap in one place before, why now?

Might as well have a wall for McDonalds, Burger King, Waffle House, Denny's, Texas Barnhouse Steak Place, Starbucks. Would make about as much random sense as the other ones.

pplains, Tuesday, 28 April 2020 14:37 (four years ago) link
