The bottom is a garage not a house, so I wasnt planning on framing any walls into it.

The 2nd floor is 60 ft deep 80 ft long. Most companies wanted $80k to add it on. I have a john deere skidster and I will rent a couple scissor lifts, but aside from that I dont see it being too difficult. I am factoring in most of the summer to build it. See I cant justify 40k having someone...

I make 30k before taxes with overtime under the table, I moonlight snow plowing for $20/hr when we get 2 inches or more for another company. When we have 4+ inches of snow I have my own plow that I plow my home association for roughly $500 a pop when I do that. I also rent out my horse pasture...

Well I am now working with Worldwide Steel Buildings who do a web struss design. We are looking at around $70,000.00 with the second floor. Not bad. This doesnt include any of the wood for framing or any doors or windows, but thats alright with me, it is 100k below the other guys. It is now...

I will do my best to answer the questions! The prices are really varying with the design, and how they are pricing it out. Some of them seem to put all their premium stuff into everything and it drives the price up. Also they dont listen to my design and quote me a 2nd floor that I can drive...

Just letting you guys know this isnt a hoax. I have gotten quotes for $169,000 just for parts, or $49,000. Crazy the difference right? I am waiting on a couple more now.

BOOOM! wow thats crazy.. I think my dumbest was installing a ceiling fan in a 40' vaulted ceiling. I was on a 3 story scaffold which was rickety as hell, on top of a ladder. It moved about 5 feet side to side when someone touched it. Scary as hell but I got that dang fan in! I was like 15 at...

THAT is the question... Who cares about a crazy door!

I am going to incorporate a chicken coupe into the bottom floor, a large industrial type bathroom to wash from the shop and riding atvs etc in the mud. My figures so far are showing this. $25,000 concrete poured $50,000 Armstrong steel base priced. I am sure it will go up with the added...

Wow thanks for the advice guys. First no worries an engineer is working on it from ArmStrong Steel. But to get and keep the price lower I need to basically have all my details decided so it only has to be really designed once. I am taking advice already and I will enlarge the door to a...
