When I was a kid my parents bought an abandoned 18th century farmhouse - a minuteman had once lived in it and fought at Lexington and Concord. Anyway, my brother, parents, friends and I spent a number of years taking it down and with the help of some more skilled labor put it back up on a new piece of land. That was my foundational experience as a DIYer and an old house enthusiast. In college I studied art history and was introduced to 20th century modernism: I fell in love. Now, I am realizing a long-held dream - converting a 19th century timber frame barn into a modern home for my family. You can read all about it on my blog: barehillbarn.blogspot.com.
