Average Customer Ratings:
Barns, sheds, garages, and storage buildings all age as houses do. And, like houses, they will eventually need renovation to save them from disrepair and to restore them to their former glory. And they can even be converted into spaces that are once again useful to their owners, including a storage area, a studio, or a home office.
Readers will learn to save money, history, and architecture simply by renovating and restoring rather than by replacing their old outbuildings. From the foundation up, from the walls in, and from the roof down, craftsman Nick Engler, author of dozens of books and hundreds of magazine articles on woodworking, construction, and home how-to, takes readers through the process of renovating existing outbuildings.
Engler gives seasoned advice on how to square and strengthen the structure, repair or replace the roofing and siding, enlarge and modify the building, install new doors and windows, and add electricity and plumbing. He also includes practical information on how to evaluate an old structure in light of current building codes and how to then preserve the original charm of any outbuilding while making it usable again.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
The Best -
Wow, I couldn't believe this book when I got it. It is the best book I've ever seen when it comes to explaining all the forces acting on barns and how to counteract them. This a book that really explains the concepts behind the fixes. Illustrations are great. There are some advanced methods of fixing barns that are good to know but I'm not sure I could handle them, it's great to know about them.

agree with Donald 110% -
I never write reviews, but this book deserves one.
I read Donald's review and thought to myself "That describes every phase of the project I'll be taking on at my own barn". So I picked up the book, read/studied all 240 pages over a weekend, and took my original project plan and enhanced it in multiple ways. You can piece this information together with hours and hours of research (that's what I had been doing up until this point), or you can get this book. Clear explanations, excellent illustrations, and Nick Engler's writing style is just generally easy/fast to read.
SIMPLE STEPS TO STRAIGHTEN YOUR BARN -
Excellent book on how to tackle serious structural deficiencies of your barn from foundation up to the roof.I think you could use this usefull information on other types of buildings such as older homes and garages.In fact this book will show you how to replace rotted out logs in a log cabin.Many simple pictures and diagrams on how to get it done.Also good basics on how to run water and electric utilities once you square up your building.
not more architectual fluff -
if you are looking for good, solid, usable information on restoring old barns and the mechanics of their structure, this book is the bible on it. quite detailed and good instructions. the author doesn't just tell you it can be done, but how to do it as well. this book won't help trendy city folk, with no building skills, pick out carpet samples for turning a barn into a home, but it is the number one resource on the structure of barns and making them solid and usable again before changing their purpose. I highly recommend this book.
