    Finally building a shop! Post frame, advice needed!

    Not impressed with my local cleary salesman at all unfortunately. Here is what I sketched up for a local private guy who said roughly $20 square foot. He advised to go ahead and do 40x60 for a few more bucks

    Finally building a shop! Post frame, advice needed!

    My main question is bang for the buck and usability on size. 40'wide x 56' deep is my number one pick but that may be out of budget which is 50k-60k. Would 38x56, 40x48 or something like that be a better deal? Also custom 2000 Sq ft post frame house to follow bit I feel that deserves its own...

    Finally building a shop! Post frame, advice needed!

    I finally have a piece of land where I can. Covenants allow up to a 2400 square ft. Detached shop and a 3 car attached garage. Shop can be 25 ft. Tall at the peak. My side hustle is hobby car builder. I do mostly old ford truck things with a bit of mustang sprinkled in. I do the whole...

    Soliciting advice : pole barn home & shop build in Montana

    Where would wood be in contact with the ground? I agree a mortgage may be harder to secure, there seems to be a stigma attached. The wall insulation cavities are like 9" deep so they are more insulated than stick built. Morton has their own insulation and vapor barrier system. Do you have...

    Soliciting advice : pole barn home & shop build in Montana

    Any suggestions on how big to make the shop and two car garage? I'm wanting an oversized two car attached. Need to fit a super crew pickup, 4 door wrangler and have room for storage. On the shop I would like room to park six cars and still be able to open doors and work on them with work...

    Soliciting advice : pole barn home & shop build in Montana

    Been a lurker for a long time. I'm looking at a square 1 acre lot with dreams of a pole barn construction home. I had never heard of such a thing before this forum. I was intrigued by the cost savings and different design things that can be done. I think I've finally convinced my wife though...

    The Concrete Underground

    Wow, I can't believe I've reached the end. Spent the better part of quite a few hours reading this over the last few days. Amazing, simply amazing. I hoped when I got to the end it would be done but I guess I'm along for the ride the rest of the way now. Keep up the good work!

    Prelude to a garage build, 2x dog crate/kennel

    Thanks. He's a handful but I love him. Always getting into something, very intelligent. I'm also wanting a table top "top" if that makes sense for setting things and such. Another thought I had is that I could build a table that would cover two wire crates and provide a table top and some...

    Prelude to a garage build, 2x dog crate/kennel

    They have a fenced back yard for exercise. They just can't be trusted back there all day as they will escape. There is about a three hour window on weekdays where the need to be locked up. This is the current situation, but the smaller kennel is too small for Elsa and the wire crate looks like...

    Prelude to a garage build, 2x dog crate/kennel

    Haven't started yet, I'm mostly after advice and guidance to start. We've had our Siberian Husky for about a year. He's not quite fully grown, about 60 lbs I think he still has a little bit to go but not much. He currently has a wire crate like this : It's a little larger than that, I'm...
