Barn Conversion Build

Hi,
We are soon to be converting our barn into a living space (planning permission permitted) with two bedroom and an open plan kitchen/living room

So far equipment wise i think im pretty set on only a couple of things

Pioneer PDP - LX6090 and my Xbox 360 Elite everything else im not sure on yet so any advice would be brilliant

Once i find my camera i will upload some picture of the barn at present (a bomb site) and try to update this thread as much as possible.

But as said above any help/advice would brilliant

Some pictures, couldnt take any of outside as it ended up being too dark


this is the entrance at the moment, this is only one half of the downstairs mess


view from the top of the stairs


view from other end of the barn

Re: Barn Conversion Build

I love it. Im very jealous as i mentioned this is a dream of mine but to get a uncoverted barn in Essex is lots of money and im not sure i could do a two hour each way commute.

Keep us all updated with pics as I am very very interested in this.

Re: Barn Conversion Build

Wow, how exciting

I bet a look through the BatBarn thread would be worthwhile
