Barns in Kentucky

Going to share some of my experiences with barns, and barn building.  I purchased a horse farm in Shelbyville Kentucky and needed to build a barn.  First thing was to determine what style I wanted.  How many stalls, layout, etc.  I did something a little different than in most parts of the country, I built a living quarters inside the barn.

Here's some various photos of barns.

After determining the initial layout/design, I had to then determine where I was going to build.  Then came the hard part, interviewing various barn builders - I talked to most of the big names like Morton, Walter, Blitz - and a bunch of smaller local builders.  I ended up choosing Larry Smitha - a resident of the area his entire life, and 3rd generation barn builder.

Best choice I ever made - not only did I get exactly what I wanted, I got more than I hoped or knew that I would want.

You can see some photos of it here.

If you are needing a good barn builder in the Shelby County Kentucky area, Larry Smitha gets a big thumb's up from me!
