[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 887610, member: 9096"] Any chance you can get a google map showing how your place lies?, I see the general area... From your picture, if possible, I'd put the barn next to the pole barn.. Typically pole barns have hay in them, so it'll be close, but as several have said, it's gotta be well drained... Secondly, if you have your buildings in one general area, it's much easier to get power and water to them, which is really nice if you need to defrost your waters. I don't know the people around there, but when your stuff is close to the house it tends to be safer too. As for fencing, I think I'd put a fence in along the top of the "finger", at the bottom of the narrowest point, and another near the top of the narrowest point, then you can divide the top section in two again, as well as the bottom, if need be.. I don't know where your current driveway is, but if you had to, you could cross the field near the lower suggested fenceline to your barn. here's a starting point for the maps [url=http://maps.google.ca/maps?q=waterloo+il&hl=en&ll=38.251797,-90.130463&spn=0.078052,0.110378&sll=49.891235,-97.15369&sspn=32.914483,56.513672&vpsrc=6&hnear=Waterloo,+Monroe,+Illinois,+United+States&t=h&z=13]http://maps.google.ca/maps?q=waterloo+i ... s&t=h&z=13[/url] [/QUOTE]
