Re: [RC] Barn/Fencing suggestions (long) - Nancy Sturm

Lif's suggestion is an excellent one.  Even though we had lived on our
property for around 25 years when we replaced the old barn with a new one,
we sited it in such a way that with the sliding doors at each end open and 
in certain kinds of weather,  there is a wind tunnel effect strong enough
to blow a contractor's wheelbarrow end over end the length of the hall.  We
could have used the same pad, but turned the barn sideways or even
diagonally and not spent the last 15 years having to decide when to close
those heavy doors.

I was actually able to purchase some property and if all goes well,

want to do it "right."  So, I'm looking for input.


My advice to you is to beg, borrow or steal an RV or trailer or tent and 
spend lots of time camping on the property in various locations at

various 

times of the year before you make any decisions about anything.
