Here, Wagner includes advice and sketches for adapting this barn for garage, carpenter’s shop, artist’s studio, apartment, or garden animal outbuilding. There are over 300 detailed, close-up illustrations and photographs, and hundreds of outstanding building tips for the experienced or beginning builder.
