In 2001 we moved permanently to the mountains and began to remodel the barn, which just happened to be in the perfect location on the property for its new functions. A flat roof covered entrance and a triangular shaped deck were added to the lower level, which became my office, and the upper level became the guest house.
Tennessee field stone was the primary exterior material and the old galvanized metal roof was replaced with insulated plywood panels clad with copper.
