So . . . purely hypothetically . . . . let's say you built a barn building on some land you owned. [View all]

Let's say that land is in the country, but just barely. Let's say the barn building is a classic gambrell roof shape. Let's say it can support two interior levels in its volume and that, because it is on a sloped site, it has a drive out basement. Let's say the building's footprint is on the small side for a barn - 36' x 56'.

Let's say the location is in the next county, about 30 minutes from where you now live. Let's say it sits on just under 15 acres but has all municipal utilities.

Let's say the interior, apart from a loft floor, is completely unfinished and open. Let's say, still hypothetically, there are two entrances and you can drive a truck into the basement or first levels if you wanted to. What would you do with this shell?

All hypothetically, of course. Just daydreaming.
