I'm in the process of quoting insulation for my 40x60x14 post frame building that will be going up this spring/summer. Can I please be educated on some things? The inside will be finished with white ribbed metal. My buddy just put up a 30x40 and used 1.5" rigid pink board that's R7 value...

What expanding foam did you go with? Did you seal just the top and bottom of the stud bays, or did you do all around the entire cavity?

Any insulation suggestions?

Quote just came in at $115k. This is concrete, 12x45' overhang, no electrical, no insulation. Building the loft inside is included as well as framing out the bathroom.

Updating. I had the GC on site this week as well as the health department and soil scientist and have began working with our septic designer. The GC essentially said to fence off the septic site and proceed with the shed / building. Still not sure what to call it, shed is the general term used...

Just want to keep this thread updated. We have decided to take the advice of JoeMcGov about grading. My buddy put his shed up last year and began the house this year and had some grading issues. I believe we need to attack the septic system before we move forward as the location of this will...

That is one hell of a build!! Thank you for documenting so much of the process!!

Interesting view. Am I going completely crazy wanting a 12' high door? Do I need to think about scaling it down and not being able to back a camper inside? Are you suggesting this just due to cost?

Camper is only 30 feet. Plan on pouring concrete on the east side of the shed for it to sit. During the winter it will be in my brother in laws 100x80 building. I only want to be able to do wheel bearings and brakes and stuff on it backed into the shed. It will never get stored in there. Lean...

8.) Mezzanine above the entire back section for storage.

14' was just used so I could fit the 12' high door. I did not mention in the original post, but I would like to add a mezzanine above the back section. I will definitely check out the Menards builder!! Definitely want to keep the 20' door in the front, it just makes too much sense to me...

I have the general contractor helping. He did an initial site layout, and will help with house design. I have attached the first drawing, but it's changed now as we are adding a 1/2 acre pond. He is on vacation and has not drawn that out yet. I am attempting to add the picture

Hi all, I have been reading posts for months! We just finished purchasing 2.5 acres of ground in northwest Ohio and are now planning our shed. The current plan is to put the shed up in the spring of 2023 and the house will go up in the spring of 2024. We have zero clue what the budget for the...

Well l have been wanting to build a little shed to get my junk out of the garage for awhile now. I live just on the edge of a tiny town and I have a "street" that dead ends to my property, they were planning on future expansion behind my property but they're letting my build something as long as...
