Thanks captain. Different crew altogether. The builders sub out the concrete and overhead doors. I need to figure out some kind of way to weather seal the sliders. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears. I'll get a pic up soon to show the gaps. They're not terrible, but could...

I also took a tip from @BuickFarmer and added a special touch. I'm no artist, but the sentiment is there. We've been married for almost 27 years and I'm so happy and lucky that she's in my life, and allows me to be a part of hers.

Back to the build: They finished the concrete for the inside on Wednesday. Man it looks awesome! Of course the weather didn't completely cooperate with freezing temps overnight, so they blew a heater on it and covered the huge hole on the north side with plastic. Then came back Thursday...

Thanks Homebody! Thanks jbrentd! Your build is a couple steps beyond mine and I enjoy checking your build to see what's coming! They're doing a great job at your place! The posts for the building and the lean to are buried 5 feet in the ground with a collar or cap that is bolted to the bottom...

It's amazing how fast all this is coming together now. I had to lay conduits for the sub panel and ethernet from the house to the barn last weekend. Then, being a HUGE Chiefs fan, I watched the best football game I have ever seen! My brother was at the game and wanted me to go, but I stayed...

Thanks man! I am getting gutters next week. The runoff would flood us out if we didn't have gutters. Congratulations! I can't wait to see it!

We are fortunate to have a few around here. They do good work and treat people fairly. Thank you! Not nearly as impressive as most I've seen on here though. I can only aspire... Thanks man! I checked yours out too. Awesome job! Thank you! Funny you should say that about your property 6...

Thank you for that estimator link! I can't wait to see the progress on your shop!

jbnrentd said: I am planning on getting a MrCool 24k DIY mini-split. I had the electrician run 220v to the exterior of the South wall. Not sure if I will do it right away or wait until later this spring. Summer time is definitely the time of year that I lose motivation on car projects. I look...

I've been reading your thread and really enjoy your barn and all the cool things you've been doing out there. I don't know if you're shy Kansas, Missouri or Oklahoma, but I've got plates I will gladly send your way if interested.

One more question I thought of after I posted, do you plan on anything for climate control? Possibly a mini-split? I see we live pretty close. I'm in S.E. Kansas so our weather is similar. Seems like the last few years the number of days we need ac are greater than the days we need heat...

Awesome build! I'm jealous that you are at the stage you are. Insulation, electrical, wall and ceiling coverings, it's happening pretty fast for you. I'm facing a similar situation with the sprinkler system getting hosed during the build and was shocked to hear the estimates you received...

Thank you. I have looked at your thread and I really like your garage. Great job! Thanks! They delivered the materials on Monday the 10th, a day earlier than expected. I really wanted to be home when it happened because I could hardly contain my excitement but an unexpected delivery a day...

Absolutely awesome! I'm excited for you! It is really starting to take shape and become real. I can't wait for the day they begin to stand up mine.:)

Conrad: Thank you! I'm excited to see your build as well. I wanted a 12' lean-to but couldn't due to setback rules from my house and the property line to the west. Your property is beautiful and it looks like you would literally have to move a mountain to go any wider yourself! I love the...

Layout and elevation.

I started this in the introduction forum, but thought it might be better to continue it here. I have been planning a 25 x 40 x 12 pole barn with an 8 x 40 lean to for a few years and am finally taking the leap. I am restricted to 1000SF for detached structures in my neighborhood hence the...

wreckdiver1321: It never does end! Thank you for your kind words! I made the shutters myself out of cedar fence boards. We tried natural, but thought it tied everything together better painting them black. The colors are Sherwin Williams if you're interested. Main house color SW 7069...

Here are a couple of pics of the layout and elevation.

Hey guys! I have been planning a 25 x 40 x 12 pole barn with an 8 x 40 lean to for a few years and am finally taking the leap. I am restricted to 1000SF for detached structures in my neighborhood hence the strange dimensions. I will use the barn for vintage cast iron restoration projects...
