I was aghast at that museum of 'American Music' on the parkway. We were there this fall, 'leaf peeping' according to the locals. Nice weather. But that building was a knock off of some Federal Gov't type, not AT ALL like I'd hoped. I wanted your thing, a barn, and have some people come.

Building Codes would say (in Canada I know the US ones are close), that over 150 people in the place, fire alarm req'd.

Over x number of feet, you need a sprinkler system, water supply, standpipes, and on it goes. Dry pipe system, it freezes in the winter. Wood burning, are you kidding?? Staff bathrooms, handicapped bathrooms, and on it goes. Every 30 people = one WC. (Water Closet=toilet, urinal etc.)

It would make you sigh and throw up your hands. Sit on a bale of hay, and have music, great. I love it. But beware what you wish.

Great idea, sorry I threw frozen water on it.

I'll buy in though...pretend we are stupid. What codes???
