Damn, Just - Damn! Beautiful set up you're gonna have there! Barn is just perfect with that kickout.
Now, about that 69 Camaro......
Thank you! Yea i love the Camaro. I need to drive it more.
Coming along nicely! That shop/barn is going to have endless possibilities once completed.
Just curious... when you started this thread, you mentioned about just building the shop with the temporary apartment, and building the home later on. Was it just a change of heart, and decided to give her a go, and construct both at once? That's going to be a very beautiful home once completed, and must of taken some quick thinking to design a solid floor plan.
As always, thanks for sharing.
Thank you, basically the short version is I was able to do something i didnt think i would be able to do when it came to building permits. They treat Ag structures and residential structures very differently here in delaware. I thought i was going to have to build the shop as an Ag structure and then parcel off the land to build the house. It didnt end up being that way after i met with the county. And it just happend to work out that the house and pole barn were built at the same time. The foundation for the house was ready and waiting to find a framer for almost 2 months. I was going to live over the pole barn until the house was finished and sell my old house at the same time but it didnt make sense financially and i will probably hold off on finishing the room above the pole barn until a later date.
Wow, it's been a while since I last checked in and you've really come a looooong way. Congrats, it's turning out very impressive!.
Thank you! Its turning out even better then I had imagined. I feel very fortunate to be able to do a project like this. Check back often, lots of thing will be going on in the next few months.
Impressive progress, has your contractor given you an anticipated move in date or are you just "when its done its done" ?
Thanks, Im the general contractor, so when I get it done Ill move in. But things have been moving along pretty good. Im thinking by the end of summer I might be moved into the house. The shop, exterior of the house, and Yard should be finished by the end of Spring.
Nice build, sub'd.
The garage doors look narrow - it must be an optical illusion with the height, as you said they were 10x9 on the house.
Any plans for a rear deck?
Thanks, the doors on the shop are 10x10 the doors on the house are 9x9. The may appear taller becasue the floor has not been poured in these pictures. They were pouring the house floor this morning when i was there.
The plan calls for a 12x12' rear deck between the screened in porch and the rear sliding door behind the breakfast table. Im already thinking about expanding it to 12x18. It will be less then 2' tall from finished grade, so it wont require a railing. I plan on doing a brick paver patio of some sort as well.
Here are some pictures from today...
wow! that is going to be awesome! man if i was closer to you i could bring over some stuff to make it look not so empty.
keep up the great work the place is looking awesome! i think i would consider in floor heat before you pour the shop slab! floor drains might be nice as well.perhaps a sunk in flush scissors lift too.
