Looks like Toyoguy did his slightly different than i did. Also looks like a REALLY nice job, and i'm sure equally as effective. I chose to mount girts on the surface of the posts so i didnt have to make all those cuts, but in doing that, i lost 1 1/2" inside the building which didn't matter to...

When you're hanging the batts, be sure to always keep the taped tap to the same side so the next run always tapes to the previous one. The tab is pretty long 8" maybe? When you get to the corners, the tab will be long enough to tape to the adjacent wall. Leave a little slack in the tab to give...

Here are some more pics... The description of the nails from Lowes... "Pole Barn Nails" item#117835. http://www.lowes.com/pd_117835-1278-60HGPO850_0__?productId=3575082&Ntt=pole+barn+nail&pl=1&currentURL=%3FNtt%3Dpole%2Bbarn%2Bnail&facetInfo=...

BMXDAD... I'm not sure what middle you mean... If you're talking about where the two batts meet in the middle (vertical seam), the fiberglass gets bumped together and the taped tab overlays the one next to it and makes a perfectly tight seal. When you're cutting and hanging, always keep the...

It looks like you guys have found the answers you were looking for before i could get back to you. -I went withthe VR-R vinyl facing. (the thin stuff). Worked out just fine because i hadn't planned on leaving it exposed in places where it could be in contact with anything. -I used the plastic...

So far, so good! Everything is staying in place just perfectly. I did finish the inside of the walls, 8' up with hoizontal purlins and 1/2 sheathing. I left a 6" trough at the top to run wires and plumbing so it's hidden. It is super easy to set up all of the workbenches and power tools, then...

Here's a link to the garage project from the beginning... http://garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=255003

Spring forward to the present... 6" thick concrete on the taller half of the building to accommodate anchors for the future two post lift. The key to all of this is always planning ahead for things that are not planned! Prior to concrete I installed floor drains, conduit for a water line, and...

This point in the project was late summer 2007. I backfilled around the finished structure and all was progressing nicely! :thumbup: It was only a few days later and my wife informed me that we should switch gears and start on a nursery! :bounce: When things settled down a bit, it was time to...

More pics of construction...

Here are some pics of excavation and construction. I cleared the pad with my own equipment, borrowed the skid loader for the post holes, and hired Narvon Builders for construction...

Hi everyone! I'm a fairly new member and have been enjoying looking at everyone's "home away from home." It is really cool to see how garages can be so different in different parts of the globe. I decided to share my never ending project for you all to enjoy. The building is 40'x56'. One half...

That's a hard question for me to answer... I never really got to the final number to compare apples to apples. All companies that i looked into were very comparable. These days competition drives price. In my case, i customized the building quite a bit. The pics you're seeing in this thread is...

The cost of materials was approx $2400 including shipping. In addition to the material from "Building Outlet Corp", I had to get some nickel and dime supplies from Lowes... T50 staples, 6" pole building nails for the nylon washers on the walls, etc. In my situation, I was blessed with no labor...
