Yeah, and extra costs jump up out of nowhere! Two garage door companies (selling different brands) quoted approx. $3,800 for the two doors, insulated, with an electric opener and high-lift rails for the smaller door & manual chain hoist on the bigger one, installed. Although I have the $$, it...

Thanks! It matches (almost) the gray on the house, which also has slightly blue shingles and white trim - just like the carport!

Now I'm waiting on the doors - always waiting!

Various stages of construction

Truck delivering the building - 8 hours late!

Are all the Forward lift controls on the passenger side? Are they swap-able, or is this a safety feature?

And here we are!

Oops

Gravel & forms installed, then disaster - corner the dog is looking at was way too soft and caused footers to fail inspection. People that did footers accepted partial responsibility for not checking beforehand, and ended up having to dig down 5 feet to "virgin soil." No idea why ground was only...

Clearing and grading. Although the ground looked level, it took a lot of fill to get it right.

Slab is 4 weeks old tomorrow - now I just need a building to arrive..

Ryan1000, what did you end up using? I have a 1,750 sq/ft floor to do in a couple months..

FWIW, I AM taking pictures and I'll post them once I have found a satisfactory (cheap) spot for them.

Here it's 6 months. BUT, if you have it inspected (even if it's a failure) it's automatically extended for one year.. How do I know? The county failed my footing inspection due to a soft spot in the soil. Yesterday, concrete folks came out, removed the rebar & forms in the affected corner, dug...

Welcome! Where abouts in Cincy? I am a native West-sider :)

Well, grading was done on November 22, 2019, but due to abnormally wet weather, concrete crew finally showed up today (3/20/2020). I was worried my building permit would expire before they got the building up! Gravel has been here for three weeks - there will be 4" of that under 5" of 4,000 psi...

I'm having Champion Buildings in Wilkesboro, NC build a 35x50 metal building for me. Jim Warden is a very knowledgeable salesman that has walked me though each step of the process.

You are correct! The City just made sure I was aware of the setbacks and verified I wasn't in a flood zone, then issued a zoning permit that I took to the County. It didn't hurt that I own almost two acres, but it's funny that my house is 1630 sq/ft and the metal building is 1750 :) The County...

Hi all! Today I signed the contract with Champion Buildings (Wilkesboro, NC) to build my new 35x50x16 steel storage building / garage / man cave in China Grove, NC :) 12x14 & 10x8 framed openings, walk-in door, 3-inch insulation - roof & walls, 18" overhang w/ soffit on all four walls, gutters...

How did this project finish up? I'm considering using Champion Buildings to do a 40x60x16 shop for me..
