The perfect barn

Every time I pass a barn on a drive through the country, or even around my home, I feel just a little bit of envy. I don't care if it is small, huge, new, old, run-down, immaculate, red, white, black, or whatever--it's more than the barn I've got. Part of my issue is that I when I do finally build a barn, I want it to be perfect. I want it to be easy to clean, secure, convenient, and something the neighbors don't mind seeing. I want it to be comfortable--both for me and whatever animals I'm keeping inside. I want to have a pad for cleaning cages and a pressure washer stored right there. I want the cages to be mounted inside so they can come down easily and be rearranged however I feel like they should. There needs to be easy waste removal. Basically, I want it to make the chores of keeping rabbits or any other animal easier.

I do have to acknowledge that perfection is hard to achieve, and once you think you've got it, your perception of perfection changes. Hopefully, I'll be able to come up with a design I'm happy with at a time I have resources to make it happen. Until then, I'll keep longing for my perfect barn...
