My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Cafo Barn Challenge

13 years ago

Good Afternoon.

I'm considering purchasing a 10 Acre farm that has two CAFO chicken barns on it. One is 50x500, the other is 36x300. I have zero desire to be a contract chicken farmer. The house, price, and location are great; but CAFOs are generally incompatible with my universe.

Aside from scrapping them, any suggestions on what I could use or recycle these into? The sheer size of them boggles my mind.

Thanks in advance,
Elizabeth
