Yes. see pics on post below (in a few minutes). It is a Country Carpenter Barn from Hebron. They have a great video tour of this 1 and 1/2 story barn on their web-site.

The stick version didn't save much $and it is sorta an old post and beam barn neighborhood :-)

@ just over $50 per sq. ft. that's not bad at all, very nicely done.
