doing a 5" floor, probably just pull the insulation from these two squares and make it 7" ? Should be sufficient for posts I'd imagine. Have you guys run air lines? Up and over in the rafters or underground? Water separator on both ends I'd imagine for condensation build up on the lines?

All good ideas, been discussing a 2 post lift footing and or a jib crane footing potentially. Once its in its in.. Yes sink in the shop area or just off of it for sure and a host bib between the overhead doors and just off the mezzanine near the other door is the plan. I love the underground...

Planning in ground conduit to the corners and floor drains as well as minimal plumbing for toilet and sink! What other nessecities before the infloor heat!?

If I knew how to go about that I would love to lol Yes its something, have all the thoughts of what did I forget, do I really like that look, I think so... once the steel is up it'll really look like something! Were about an hour south of the twin cities west of Rochester, far enough out but...

We are in process! More to come!

Thanks for the feedback. Good to hear. The wall mounted fans is a good idea, hadn't thought of that. I think ours is 15'11 up to sidewall and 18' in the center is the plan, break ground in the spring. I had wondered about insulation sliding down with the sloped celling but I guess if you put...

Looks great, sorry if I missed it above, I assume you have 16' celling? I noticed the scissor truss or raised lower chord. I am planning to do the same but was considering doing only over the loft area vs the entire building. Any regrets with the scissor truss celling from an...

Little update on the interior layout, thinking metal work in the back corner by the pallet racking. Workshop with 3' mezz overhang over the work benches for added low height lighting (orange dotted line would be above the work area mezz extension--hard to show with rendition) this gets me a...

Any updates to this build? Would love to see how things turned out with the mezz plans. Congrats on the build!

Any feedback? We are set on this layout for now. I think its the most feasible without moving the driveway.

**realize this is an old post but some reference for folks following it. Just signed with Cleary on very similar specs as your morton quote above, less gutters, 14x14 vs 12x14, additional man door and small porch.. and it was roughly $90-100k for the closed in shell. I had them split the quote...

If I had a quarter for every time I heard or read that I'd have a heck of a down payment on this shop! :)

Hi All, have been lurking in the threads for a while learning and seeing what others have done for their pole barn builds, we are planning to break ground next spring with our contractor on a build. 42x72x 16' height; 14x14 on the gable end, 2- 12x12 on the side wall and a ~20 x 28 loft in the...
