ENLARGING OLD BARNS 55 PRACTICAL ENLARGEMENT OF OLD BARNS It is quite a common practice to build low, shed-roofedadditions to the sides of barns when it is desired to securemore room. This gives the desired addition of groundfloor space, but does not secure added storage room thatcould be secured as well as not, and at almost no addedcost, were the additions made according to the plan sug-gested at the right in Figure 47. Here the roof is ex-tended down over the addition without a break, makinga better looking building and one much more serviceablethan by the common plan. The space in the tops of the.
