As much as I love the traditional barn (a combination
interest in architecture, history, and rural culture)
I think the hayloft became obsolete when bales
replaced loose hay.  I would like to build a
traditional barn but I haven't come up yet with a
sufficiant "practical" justification for building that
way.
