Thanks for the info. I think my budget of 4k will work then.

Permits are a non issue

I searched what I feel is very throughly(though I'm sure someone will post a link to a forum that I missed) about the total cost to get the in floor heating setup and actually get it in the floor(minus concrete). I'm building a 34x44x14(1496 sq/ft) pole barn. There will be 2 12x12 overhead...

I'm at the foundation stage of my home right now. Wife and I were in the exact same boat so we looked into a custom build. Ended up buying 4 acres on the edge of town. We were told you can only get a 50% mortgage on land so we had to save and buy it in cash. Construction mortgages are tough to...

I own a fence and decking company and generally have to pay to dump it or burn it which either way costs me money and man hours. Hook up with a local company and I'm sure they'll be happy to hook you up. Gearbanger thanks, I'm now planning on finishing my new barn this way as I have a 30' wide...

I love this idea. I'm tackling the floor next winter when funds rebuild as the floor heating will be pricey. I tried to get floor drains in my attached but builder wouldn't allow even though I'm on septic...

My trusses are 6200 as designed which I think is ok. My wife doesn't want it bigger than the house(2300 sq/ft bungalow) it'll be a few hundred feet back from house to minimize the size of it I am trying to price out 12x12's. I'd rather have the size but I'm sold on my 8x8 so I can have low...

I'm getting ready to build my barn and trying to come up with a finalized design. I can have up to a 2412 sq/ft according to by laws and must be a single story but no height restriction yet. I'm primarily a car guy and do usually one full restoration annually. I will be putting in a 2 post hoist...

I think i've sorted it out. DIY Pole Barns said that they wouldn't ship it unless heading to a residential address so I can't just have it dropped then shipped unfortunately. I've got the shell and doors down around 17k locally which I think is acceptable. I'm just trying to figure out the...

that is a beautiful setup

at about 1.7x the price yes

I'm thinking more transporting it. It would fill a flatbed transport I would think. Has anyone asked a US company about bringing it across

I've been reading this website for a while and i'm now at the stage where I'm ready to get mine going as my house is almost finished construction. I look at websites like DIY Pole Barns and the prices are great. I can get the 32x48x16 kits that I need for around 12k shipped. I only live about 5...

I'm also looking for Amish to build a barn in Ontario. I'm in Niagara
