Thanks - especially on sizing. The vertical, will go down to the trench and just transition to open. Maybe a corner/radius piece. Spray foam in that to transition from direct bury to conduit. Other end will be in my basement - same plan - spray foam inside.

I'm in the middle of construction for a 40x64 pole building (not me, but I'm the GC). While the plumbers are connecting water/septic, they'll have a trench from garage to my house, where most of the utilities enter. As an IT guy, I'm planning on real connectivity out there, and I've settled...

Inside with the loft - rated at 100psi live load. About 6'7" to the ceiling up there.

Building phase #1 (structure/sides/roof/doors) is just about done. Gutters/garage doors should be done this coming week, and then on to the plumbing/HVAC (in floor)/concrete stuff. I ordered a second Wyze camera, thinking the time length was an issue, even with 128gb+ cards in each. I connected...

Few updates in a row here: Ground has been broken. ~2 days of 1 dude hustling between an excavator and skid steer. He'll come back after the building is up to spread out some top soil to building grade (which will be ~2" rock, ~2" foam, 6" concrete) and then spread the rest into my yard.

I thought I was ready to order to after getting in-stock notification from GreenLightDepot, but then the website wouldn't let me order and when I called, they're out of stock with at least a month ETA. (which is what I heard a month ago to get to today). 40x64x16, but 18' loft with rooms...

I picked this up for the upcoming shop (pole barn scheduled end of Sept - 40x64x16) as I also won a few other items, including a scissor lift that will be helpful during the wiring/lighting. MSC Model #09514613 , 14" bandsaw, 114" blade with blade welder/annealing. I cleaned up the dust/etc...

Recent Messick's youtube video talked about mower blades. For mulching and bagging, blades typically have higher lift, which can bring up sand/dry dirt. Maybe look at changing the blades to a less-lift type? edit: Mower blade differences. Which ones work best? -...

I'll try to get some site pics this week. Width wise; the lot is 500' wide I think? It's almost a square, but nothing is flat in PA. So grading will be a bit of work, but the plan is no retaining walls or similar. My whole lot slopes from back down to the front. I bought this place last...

Gotcha. for the electric, it was a few hundred in materials difference. I also get 2 breaker panels out of that, which I'll never regret.

Thanks for plywood thoughts. A friend mentioned MDO plywood, but that seems much more expensive. Insulation - 1.5 of foam + the R19? Or I'd guess it's 1.5" of foam + R13? For the fan/truss - someone else mentioned maybe I won't need the whole shop fan if I have radiant heat (so source at...

Thanks, Jim! Does anyone have thoughts on metal siding / blocking later vs plywood now?

Ok. I'll ask about margins for the bottom chord, and what it looks like to move to 10 psf. He's doing the calculations. The mezzanine was originally at 40psf, I asked for more. Now it has intruding poles below (which I expected), but up to 95 psf. That'll be way better for shelving.

I’m finally getting close to breaking ground on a building. I had a snafu with the first builder, but I’m just about through that and wrapping up final design with the new folks. Basics- 40x64x16 pole building, rural area on 5+acre lot. I'm the GC on this build, which seems to be the main...

Following. I'm looking at 40x64x16, so not too far off. Insulated, but concrete/site prep out of builder's scope. I imagine the base building, panels inside and out (maybe OSB starting 4' off the ground inside, insulated - I've had numbers 80-140k (upper being Morton Building).

Yea, I think 5x5 would work for a half bath, but add the corner shower (which looks to be 36-38" radius from the corner. Then what? 5x7? 6x8?

With a similar thought - appropriate size if including a corner shower? nolimits76 - those sketches are helpful! In my shop planning, I'm thinking similar to OP, just with a 36x36 corner shower added. Toilet+sink. Slop sink outside of bathroom. I don't want the absolute smallest...

Here's the revised plans - dumping the full drive through lane, and really hoping a mezzanine is possible. Possible both technically (should be, poles on the edges of that will be fine in the design) as well as financially. Nothing on this build is exactly cheap, but I'm waiting for an...

I'm looking at 14' high for the building, so 14' high doors would be a problem :) I have a 2 story on basement "salt box" (single slope roof, peak at back. From front, basement entrance is grade. so reasonable height. What about a 12'x12' door? I have it flagged/painted now. It's...
