Your shop is gonna be sweet! It'll be fun to watch you build it up. I stumbled across this video of barn dominium, thought it might interest you. the tube channel Is called Marshall Remodel

Great idea using the rake as a leveling tool.

Your ICF wall build is a smart and slick alternative to stick framing. It is appealing in so many ways. I am curious though, as to the cost comparison to stick framing. Do you have any figures or percentages that compare the construction costs? This build has been a great read, I'll be...

Now thats an impressive chicken coop. :thumbup: chickens and rodents seem to go well together, Do you have a plan for the those varmits?

hi andy i have been following your shenanigans since the broom threads. Always a treat to sign in and read your posts. Thought I'd comment on the generator since we had a PTO 20kw model on our farm. Before we bought it the power would go out quite regular. After our purchase, we never needed...

Great work on the raise. ill follow along, i find this type of reno rewarding in that it generally improves the original. thumbs up

This is a great way to start out a build thread! You have me hooked for updates. Since you have the depth of property for almost any size you want, I would think a gable entry style garage, would give you the best options for the future. That and you could blend the style well to suit the house...

Beautiful old barn, certainly worth all the effort you are doing. Our old barns are mostly wood post and beam. i see in your pics there are beams across the width of your barn. Did these beams once support a hay loft floor? Keep up the good work, more pics are always good.

We had 65 degrees here last week, man was that ever easy to take! I found the First cold snap of the season Is always the toughest, then by January you are wondering what all the complaining was about, In the end Spring is the best time of year. Its Long johns time. Ha

Fifteen years ago went to a plumbing supply wholesaler, I was running 150 foot, they recommended Black poly I believe with a red stripe. There are many grades of poly some use compression fittings while others use hose clamps. The home stores sell the thinner wall stuff, not to my liking as I...

Thanks for posting this Joe.....I'll Bookmark this thread.

Brent, this is a really cool thread! I have always liked block garages, the look is so industrial. Then again, Dad was a mason, and he built a single attached garage to our famly home from block. Years later my first home had a 24x40 block garage, so I may be a bit biased. Your pictures give...
