Paul and Emily Marshall, better known as Mr. and Mrs. Post Frame online are experts when it comes to barndominium homes.

Retiring from a career as a violent crimes tactical officer in Rockford, Illinois, Paul and Emily moved to Iowa in 2018 to start a new life. With a dream in hand, they set out to self-build their post frame barndominium near the iconic bridges of Madison County. 

Paul shared this self-build journey on YouTube to show people how to make your dreams possible with financial limitations. Sharing the struggles and sacrifices needed to get to this place, they gave their audience hope that they too could build their dream.

What started as a journey to give their three children a quiet life in the countryside has turned into a business with international reach. MR Post Frame provides support for builders and DIYers in the realm of construction, general contracting and product expertise. With a social media presence of over 1 million followers, you’re guaranteed to come across their content and there’s no limit to what you can learn from them.

Because of the desperate need in the market for accurate barndominium plans based on construction type (post, steel, stick, ICF, SIPs) Paul and Emily co-own Back Forty Buildings with Olivia Berg. They provide “buildable plans by a builder”,  making them the best choice for design in the market. 

Whether you’re a builder looking to include barndominiums as a project option, or an individual with a dream, MR + MRS Post Frame offer the best resources and support to make this possible.
