We were very blessed by the fact that our property came with a two stall barn already on it but it had not been upkept very well. There was no front door at all and the stalls were completely open which is just not safe for our smaller livestock (the previous owners had horses).
Nick and I have enclosed the side alcove so the animal can be "outside" but protected from the elements and predators. We modified one stall into a chicken coop with nesting boxes built in and wire enclosing. Then we put in additional windows to provide more light.
Nick built the most beautiful (and HEAVY) cedar doors for the front which are my favorite part:
Now he has purchased glass panes and made the frame for the windows that are going to go up top above the door to help keep it warmer inside.
The cedar doors are gorgeous! When can Nick come to my house and do that to my garage? :)
