We once restored a stone home in Northern Virginia… it was a mess when we began, and a beauty when we finished.

Very nice.
I put a small barn w/loft onto my little log house, eventually it will be the living room and kitchen, another small bath and also has an attached 1 car garage. Attaching barns was a traditional thing in New England, usally by an “L” or breezeway of sorts for tending livestock in winter. I noticed one on the commentors on you FB did not lke the barn siding with the stone house, but barns traditonally were not generally sided with the same material.
It looks very nice.
Thank you Chuck.
I’m a big fan of attaching buildings and adding on additions too. New Englanders did love hooking the barn to the house didn’t they? You comment is true about barns often having different siding… and the fact is that this stone house didn’t have any siding… so the barn and batten wasn’t a wrong choice… it was just want the owner wanted.
So sorry about the bad spelling. It won’t let me edit.
No worries… my writing is full of errors… I always blame spell check for it… but often it’s just me.
Was that house built by Germans? It looks similar to the PA stone houses?
I’m not certain… this home, as pretty as it is, was poorly constructed… I’ve never seen, or imagined, a stone home built any worse. I’d like to think that a German builder would have done better.
