Where's the water come from?
Seriously, I'm told you can't have plumbing in a barn.

you can do anything you want once the inspector leaves
mine comes from 300yards away at the main house, ran underground 3ft and brought up thru the freeze line in an insulated 6inch round pipe and into the heated building
that's one of them things they tell you cuz they don't want a live-able structure that doesn't meet typical building codes
my garage is basically an apartment, minus an actual bed...but I do have a nice leather couch, cable TV, fridge, microwave, coffee maker, George foreman grill, toaster oven and outdoor gas grill....AND WATER!

Nice. Yeah I figured it was to prevent moving the whole family into outbuildings.
Were you able to run the 6" pipe before the concrete was poured or did you have to go back and bust up the concrete post inspection?
How about drainage? Do you have drainage to deal with? I figure a gray-water field of some sort could be arranged. Lots of questions over here as I'm looking at putting up a similar sized barn on my property.
Hope you don't mind the questions but this is what I've been looking to do and just don't have all the answers yet. Thanks man, love the thread.

I do concrete for a living so I ran pipe b4 hand to a specific place and just covered it up with a bundle of insulation when the inspector came to look at the final framework and check the elec panel hookups... Also ran pipe under slab for when I pump out my ressys and it works its way down and far away from the building......rented a trencher for a day and dug a ditch 40yards thru the woods, laid pipe(2 inch) and covered it all back up...LOL, I even put a urinal in the building that goes into the same line, simple water line hookup and tada! And I installed a French drain for behind the building that goes into a field then down towards the nearest street for building concerns
building runs like a top now!!!!

Only suggestion that I would make would be to get some reflectors that position your bulbs in a horizontal position. I really think your numbers would go up considerably.
