That's awesome you built yourself. I was looking into doing a building myself but glad I didn't. Putting the posts in the ground would have taken me a month alone being meticulous, and the screws... I think the string method is pretty standard, slick too. This building is like a new car, should...

Nice building and progress, following. I am also doing 2" foam under slab and have seen tape used for the seams. I think without would be fine but for the price of a couple rolls, why not. I am not sure what should be used but I am sure the same tape they use for the seams of Tyvek house wrap...

Thank You! I know you have had experience with imperfection on your build. I just hate being the guy to bring the bad news/pick things apart and I also don't like the idea of removing middle pieces to install new. They did a very good job with the rest of it. I've watched the senior guys work...

So now you are caught up with today, yes it snowed and is about 40 degrees colder than a couple days ago. Typical for MN, which is why I wanted this started a month ago. When I came home today, they had the West wall done and were finishing the South wall (back gable end). I decided to watch a...

This is an exciting time! Better hurry before it snows to much. Thanks for following TurtleValley :beer:

A close up picture on the finger jointed 4 ply columns, they look purdy. The next day, the had most of the roof done and East eave end complete. My neighbor to the North that is also getting a building from Northland in March, came over to check out the building a get ideas for his. He...

The next day after the holes were drilled, I came home from work to this With the walls up, the pad looks so much bigger. I remember when the old barn was gone how small the pad looked with the walls gone. This thing looks like a monster from the road Got this cool pic at the end of the...

The week of November 27th I was on vacation from Thanksgiving, the weather was nice and I was getting antsy so I ordered 17 3/4 ton of traprock/class 5 for the pole barn driveway. The truck driver tried to spread it up the driveway as best as she could. I then started to shovel and rake the...

In June we had a hail storm that caused some damage. With the damage came a new roof. The old roof was tan, the trim was brown and the previous owners painted the trim red right before they sold it. I like the red trim, so I decided to get a red roof to match the barn colors. The red roof was in...

Very nice setup. In for more info on your lighting, I have 16ft walls as well and it looks nice and bright in there. Also, do you have any more pics of your loft, stairs and some of the process getting that loft where it is today? Are you heating and cooling with your minisplit system? I have 3...

The building was delivered on November 2nd as promised. Woke up to the sound of a diesel in my driveway on a cold foggy morning. Most of the building was delivered, still need doors and windows. He broke a hydraulic hose for the fork lift by backing over the hose that was hanging down, after a...

Go as big as your budget and city will let you. No one has ever said they built to big. I am building a 40x62x16 which is my max. I went with 2 14' high overhead doors, 4/12 pitch, 2' overhang gable and eve, 2 windows, 2 man doors one in front and one in back for escapes. House wrap...

South looking North, there is over 23 dump truck loads of crushed concrete. Over 300,000lbs. Doesn't look like much of a slope but its there There you have it. 3 days and 7 grand later. Got a call from Northland and the building will be delivered November 2nd. They will break ground sometime...

My neighbor came over with the bobcat and removed all the posts in the ground that were cut off from the old pole barn. I was surprised to see that the longest post was just under 4 feet in the ground. Most of them were shorter than that and all different lengths I am glad I went with the U...

I am adding a driveway that will be about 24 feet wide over the culvert and then expand to 40 feet wide and go straight to the building. the driveway will then go right (west) to the current driveway and will end up being a U shape driveway when connected to the house driveway you can see we...

with the building gone, the pad looks so much smaller. Looks like enough room for maybe a two car garage Here is the new building. The original plan was to face the building the same direction on the property (front west, back east) but I am going to turn building 90 degrees and have the front...

So, I sold the 32x48 pole barn on Craigslist for $300 and they came and took it down and hauled it away. Best $300 ive made on CL. The guy who bought it thought it would turn out a whole lot better and salvage a little more lumber but as you can see he had to cut all the purlins and most...

It is crazy how deceiving the pad can look. I just took down my 32x48 barn and the pad is still there and as I walk around it I'm wondering how I fit all my **** in there. Walls up, completely different

Alright, so here is the plan. I made another page called 40x62 Clay mist Colonial red build unless I can change the title of this thread? That is exacty what I am doing, building a new pole barn built by Northland Buildings Inc. It is a 40x62x16 and I will be turning building 90 degrees so the...

wheew. I was getting tired just watching them, plus I would have to put all of it somewhere posts were definetly rough cut. I plan on raising the pad about 6 inches or so and putting in a swale on eash side of the barn that will run off into the pond thank you for the links! they will come in...
