Raised In A Barn

This summer is going to be full of new experiences.  Ultimately we intended to live in some kind of trailer/vehicle on Vancouver Island.  For the time being though we are staying in the "man cave" of my wife's father on his farm in Southern Ontario.  Unlike most man caves though, this one is inside of an 800+ square foot barn.

On the bottom level is a small shop to store and repair medium sized farm equipment and a gathering area complete with kitchen and dining space.  Upstairs, where we stay, is a semi-finished loft with a small make-shift bedroom area and some old, comfy couches.

As a rock climber I was even more excited to see that the barn is equipped with ample beams from which to hang... and hang rings.  As well, our 16 month-old son enjoys all of the dangerous equipment on which to climb and tricycles on which to ride.

Ironically, the space in which we're living now is larger than our old home.  It's not what I had in mind when I suggested to my wife that we try to "down size."
