The barn is the focal point of our property.  Not only does it provide shelter for the wood-kiln...it serves our family in several ways.  We use the barn for events plus any projects that require protected work space.  Wood, metal and clay are the primary mediums that I work with...so the barn is a kind of swing-space.  Having friends and family to help out along the way in building this structure has been key...I am soo grateful!
