Maybe, or maybe not? Using this wood method would require no framing, whereas Sheetrock would require full framing (from everything I’ve seen).

Well that’s an innovative idea! Thanks so much for the input! I really like it!

I just wanted to post a little follow-up reply to everyone, as I’ve been up all night obsessing about the side beams. Lol. I ran across this video and screamed a little bit. I think this could work! Imagine this same wood setup covering those big, ugly sidebeams we have (after they have...

Thanks for the reply. We aren’t really technically using it for “residential use” or to live there, so I wasn’t “as” concerned about the beams…. Until I saw them. Lol. Like you said, the tube steel is not what I have previously seen used for a metal barn, so it wasn’t what I was thinking it was...

Thanks for the input. I honestly had a very clear vision of what I wanted it to be before the building went up, and the outside turned out great, but I had no idea what the beams were going to look like inside. They were not what I was envisioning at all, nor like anything I had seen before in...

Wow! This is a very helpful reply with lots of details that I am going to research to understand better. Thank you so very much for taking the time to give such a through explanation! :) Very kind of you. I have already paid for the spray foam (it was paid with the building), but it has not...

Yes, I feel like we are at that point that we need to find a new contractor to finish what we have started. I’m just really gun shy after the last debacle with a contractor, and it’s also not an easy task to even FIND an available contractor around here. I’m hoping to at least know what my...

We paid $8k for a grinder pump and connection to sewer, which has not yet been completed. That amount was paid when we were working with the contractor on the carriage house that we had previously planned to build before the contractor raised the price. That same pump and sewer connection will...

Bless you. Thank you for that kind word of encouragement. You have no idea how much I need it. 🥰

We have already paid for the grinder pump for it to be connected to public sewer, but the plumbing itself has not been done yet. Meeting with the plumber next week. We are going to have to do it the hard way. I know now that we should have done the plumbing before, but we were given bad advice...

We had a contractor. We paid for sewer, not septic, already. We had to pay for it before the county would release our building permit (for some unknown reason), which was just before the contractor decided to increase the price of the previous building by another $40k, so we bailed on the whole...

Oh, and no, we are not working with the contractor anymore. That bridge was burned. lol.

Sorry. I accidentally hit the post button before I was finished typing. So yes, the sewer (not septic, sorry) has been paid for, but no, it was not put it. (Nobody can explain why it was done that way by zoning, but that’s how they did it). There is water to the property, but the pipes have not...

The septic is not in, but we had to pay for the septic before the county would give the contractor the permit to build the ORIGINAL carriage house (which was not a metal building)

I completely agree. If I ever get this project finished, I swear I’m not starting anything else for a long, long time. I’m worn out.

I live in Myrtle Beach, SC. This farm property is in Loris, SC, about 30 minutes inland. I don’t know what my budget is. I left that by the wayside a long time ago, but I need to go find it and get back on track. We were just focused on getting a building finished, and when we run out of money...

Just for the record, after I bought this property, it took me 5 months just to get someone to do a survey, another 6 months to find a contractor to show up, 5 more months to get said contractor to get the permit for the carriage house garage I had originally planned to build, only to be told...

*** moved this comment to the correct location.

That screenshot in the photos I posted is what I received. As you can see, you can’t really tell what it looks like inside.
