Family Lives In FBI Pole Barn
I read your story in the last issue about a family living in a converted Morton building. My family lives in an FBI pole barn that we have converted into combination home and welding shop. The building measures 120 by 60-ft. and has 24-ft. high ceilings. We saved about 100,000 in construction over the cost of building a separate home and shop.
What's unique about our "barn home" is that we extended the roof to create a 60 by 20-ft. porch at one end. The poles that support the extension are boxed in with cedar siding to give it a country feel. The living area is 1,700 sq. ft. and includes an indoor pond. (Kathy Smith, 8796 S.
