I like the separate circuit idea. I haven't really thought about that. That would be amazing if someone on here would do that for me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've been learning a ton from these pages and would like to start this off by saying you guys are much appreciated! I don't have a giant budget so I'm wondering if someone can make suggestions for lighting the RV garage I'm getting built this summer. I have attached a rough floor plan with...

Thanks for the replies. My hopes are to keep the building above freezing without any additional heat source for as long as I can through the fall. I know that's not possible once temps get down in the single digits (from what I'm told), but this would allow me to not have to winterize my...

Garage footprint

The Jeep parking area, which will be right inside the front 10x12 door will have Ace door hangers on one wall for my OEM doors and tube doors, a pulley system/boat winch with brackets to suspend the hard top in the summer, and brackets to hold the soft top and brackets on the wall in the...

Hello, was curious about the insulating properties of Microfoil vs. 2" spray foam insulation. In getting my quotes for a 48'x36'x16' post frame metal RV garage, two separate builders offer these two different types of insulation. Both quotes are for insulating the walls and roof but at...

The building is going on the Jeep side of the field. I'm going to pull up the fence actually, because I am putting the front of the building closer toward where I was standing when I took the pic. The new little driveway extension will lead right up the center of the photo. Sent from my...

I have several wooded acres that back up to state forest but the parcel that the building is going on is about .75 acres of cleared land. There will be lots of rock under it I'm certain of that. I am in suburban agricultural zone so no neighborhoods/communities anywhere near. The existing...

I really like the black roof and trim with the brown siding. Wainscotting (i made that up if that's not a verb.haha) seems fairly inexpensive by what I'm being quoted. River rock or something like that would look great too. Here's an example pic I found on the interwebs

The existing septic system is just enough for the house, if not a bit too small for my liking. I'm to the south and west of WF out in the hills. Don't have to worry about flooding as I'm on the side of a hill and elevated. I have a sloping field for the building that shouldn't be too bad to...

Well here's a few quickly rendered pics of what the it will look like. Spacing on the wickbuildings.com designer tool doesn't let me put things exactly where they will go but good enough. The color tool on that site is pretty helpful too. I'm toying around with a few different schemes. Can...

Thanks a lot Justin and 73RR. Great advice. I've never measured the slope but will get a lot of the unknowns figured out when I go to my property in April. (I'm in Washington until then) A lot of my planning has been off of mapping imagery and pictures I took of the property when I was out there...

Man, that's quite the attached .pdf ard! Much appreciated and agreed. I need to really take future improvements into consideration and luckily I have time. We're not breaking ground until the Summer and I have time to get things exactly how I want them.

Changing table is a great idea!!! Kiddo grows up and you've got a new toolbox. I really wish I would have thought of that!

Well I've gotten a quote back that is about right to me I guess. Reputable and highly recommended builder from people I trust. We'll probably have some back and forth on design, colors, etc. until we settle on something. The price quoted, like a few I've gotten before are for "built on your...

Hi Voi. Natural gas is not available and my house has in-wall electric heaters unfortunately. We also use a woodstove and the house is very nicely insulated. With that said, I have thought about propane heat for the garage. I was looking into coverting the house to gas heat when I first...

1. Would a half monitor type design or a standard gabled roof design cost me less, generically speaking? 2. In what order do I need to get things done? Have the foundation poured after the building is up or before? I know I need to get it leveled and excavated before anything else. 3. What do I...

Rough sketch

Hello. I'll definitely be getting further educated on the pages of this forum from what I've read already. I have some questions and will probably have a lot more as I go. I'm hoping to keep them all consolidated on this thread and welcome any help or advice from you guys. The proposed...

Or hopefully learn enough to cut 10%. haha! I've been here for 10 minutes and have already blown my life savings in my mind.
