Nah, we were darn-poor country folk. But the barn was an old Wisconsin traditional barn with stone walls about three feet thick and built into the hillside. In the summer it was always about 60 degrees inside when it was 90 outside, and in winter it was about 50 degrees when it was -10 outside. Today the sheds they build are a poor imitation of a "real" barn.  

The north side was built into the hillside (so you could drive into the haybarn).  The design really was smart, until the damn January south wind, those were a bitch.  You really needed more cow farts to keep the water running on those days.
