I mean, it may be possible to run it from the house. It'd really just be a matter of dealing with the trenching in the front of the house to the side and running under the fence in two places. Seems like figuring out which flexible pipe can take potable water (I don't know off the top of my head...

Well these posts have given me a lot more to think about... Unfortunately my water meter is inside the house in the basement and I don't have lines going out (other than the two hose bibs). I'm trying to do this on a budget and I don't know how long I'll be in this house, potentially only 5...

Thanks for the replies so far. As far as the concrete, specs call for a vapor barrier, so that is happening. I see myself working out there some weekends and evenings but it isn't going to be a constant, always out there thing. I presume, based on that, the forced hot air or mini split would...

I'm back and finally have a signed contract with the builder for a 30x40x16 pole building/garage. For cost, I opted to not include the mezzanine for now (can be added later) and skipped the insulation and finishing of the walls. The ceiling will be insulated and finished. Half the structure will...

I'm in PA. Sorry, I wasn't clear on the building it myself part. I meant that for the loft or mezzanine. Not the actual structure itself. That's beyond my skill and desire. Appreciate the feedback on the windows. Helpful things to consider.

Finally had time to sketch out the property. It is obviously not to scale so I'm sorry about that. Behind the house, there exists an asphalt (not concrete) pad that is roughly 20x60 with a wall behind it and on either side. The properly slopes down to the house and the area behind the wall is...

Thanks for all the replies so far. I can try to sketch it out early next week as I'm slammed with a work event now. The area it will be built is uphill from the house. I believe the height would be grade to the top of the structure and not relative to the house. Even if it were relative to the...

F-150 Raptor. Under 7 feet tall. Thanks. These pictures are helpful. Is your ceiling height 13' with the metal on the interior?

I'll talk to the zoning officer about that. I believe it is the peak of the roof. I glanced at what I believe was red iron. I'd have to double check. And good point on fitting 32' of door on a 40' wall. The builder 3d model let me do it but perhaps that's foolish.

Codyboy, what are the dimensions of your garage? Right now I'm working with a F-150 Raptor and two old Benz's that are smaller. One can live in the carport I have to be honest since it's a daily beater. The other is a classic that I want to keep in a nicer shop that is enclosed. So even if I'm...

Happen to have any pictures so I can see how this looks?

Understood as to the ceiling height. The height of my building is limited to 25'. I'm just trying to figure out how high it has to be to comfortable accommodate a second floor and have useable space as far as headroom on it but still be under that threshold. I guess I need more information from...

Hey guys, I heard this is the place on the web for garage related questions. Zoning approved my variance this evening, so I'll be able to build a 30x40x25 pole barn for use as a garage. The only dimension in question for me will be the height (whether I need to go that high at the pitch of the...
