Impressive, beautiful work and stunning. Pumped to see this all come together!

Not much to update on here and we're kind of at a stand still. With exterior home projects taking priority over interior barn projects headed deeper into fall. Picking off small items like more spray foam and sealing up any joints where possible. Next steps are to continue work on the...

Making a decent amount of progress this week. Carved some time out away from the office this afternoon and had a buddy of mine come over to assist on getting the interior gable framed up. A little figuring to make sure we had a rafter in place to catch the return for the ceiling steel, then...

Thank you! I've done some checking and the ones we're going to use are for sure the LED recessed and they can mount to a standard 4" box. Measure 14 times... cut once.

I have been slowly picking away on things since my last update. We're connected between the house and the pole barn now, roughed in a plug so we can operate lights out there as we continue to pull wire. Worked up a simple electrical layout, trying to "zone" things in a logical format. We pulled...

It's apparent that I'm on a 2-week post cycle here. Sorry for the lag in time guys! Making more progress but it's a lot slower as I get into items that require help from others with experience in areas that I don't have. Since the last post I've made some structural additions to the building...

Here we are 1-week later (ish..) from my last post and more has been accomplished. HD made an early delivery (1-week early) with insulation and purlins for inside. Details and pics on that soon. Last Sunday I rented a Ditch Witch for the afternoon. In addition to the services out to the...

Thanks! No worries. The big doors are 10' x 9' then specified for ceiling profile tracks which match the 2/12 pitch inside. The small door is just a standard 8' x 7' - all insulated.

Thank you! The insulation I ended up just going with bats. R19 for the walls and R30 for the roof/ceiling. A buddy of mine who use to run the family insulation business gave me some tips, we discussed doing blown in for the attic space, etc. and in the end he told me the most cost-effective way...

Thanks for everyone on the help. I ended up getting 1" direct burial plus the proper ends that we need for each side. Looking forward to getting things in the ground.

Finally getting around to some updates with photos! Been super busy work-wise which hasn't left for much fun time with the garage. Concrete has all been sealed inside. The product I used was Dayton Superior's Tuf Seal J35 (see attached pic). Super nasty stuff. Full respirator, gloves, etc. when...

Latest update. Seamless gutters are up - look great too! Very happy with the way those turned out and just in time for a storm. Just finished up the first coat of the concrete sealer this afternoon. Coat #2 will go on tomorrow and hopefully I'll be able to catch a couple photos then too. Was...

Thanks! The plans for that are coming together a lot sooner than I thought. Photos soon!

Thank you! Gathering ideas is one of the best things you can do. Plus, if you know people with garages and can go hang in their space for a bit to get a feel for certain elements, that really helps with determining what will work for you and what doesn't.

No updates in awhile. At a standstill currently. Seamless gutters were to be put on last week but when the crew showed up I noticed their color was wrong. So... rescheduled for this week! Been taking a lot of measurements inside to determine insulation amounts needed for the walls themselves...

Any pics of te atticat system in use?

Thank you! Couldn't get the site to work on a tablet so I'll have to try it again on the laptop later. Good notes from everyone for sure.

Awesome! Thank you for your help.

Thanks Scott. I did check with a source out of Bloomingdale, MI (Fleetwood's) where we have gotten some HVAC items from previously. They told me 1" would flow 150' for a max of 150,000 btu/hr. So it sounds like the information is about right. If I can source 1.25" I will drop that in, but no...

Great info - I've been able to find direct burial poly but only up to 1" and it's about $1.25 a foot. Any insights on the resource in KS?
