As I recall it is where Dad stored the hay for the winter for the cattle, made lots of room in the barn. That was back in Oklahoma. Sure was popular with a lot of farmers as I recall…

Jonathan,
I love lofts, too. Built one for myself in 1999. I needed 2000 sqft for a business so I leased a 1500 sqft commercial space with 21 ft ceilings and built a 600 sqft loft for offices, etc.
The loft cost $6000 to construct and @ $.70 a sqft for the lease, I save $420 per month. I’ve been there 6 years so the numbers look like this…
$6000 to build
$30,240 total rent savings
$24,240 ahead on my investment
Of course this is a commercial example, but $24K is $24K. Viva le Loft!
