Neighbor up the road completed this one a few months ago. He and his brother are third generation owners of a local post frame building company.

Lol. The parcel of land is oddly shaped but a total of 22 acres. Three seperate areas are crops, each about five acres, the house/shop and surrounding yard take up three acres. My original plan, the shop was 40 feet shorter. My dad asked if I had room to store his bass boat and a few antique...

I spent several months planning my build, costs, what I could do myself, etc. I paid someone to build the shell, I then worked weekends to finish the inside. Built the interior walls, wiring, set cabinets, plumbing, doors, trim, paint…. had someone do HVAC and drywall. That is the only way I...

Perfect place for us for the past 23 years. Paid someone to put up building shell, I did all interior walls, electric, plumbing, etc. which saved $$$. 10,000 sq. ft. under roof, 2,800 sq. ft. 3 bedroom 3 bathroom house.

Your ‘AI’ overview, is correct, but step 2 it is only for their street view imagery, not able to request they blur the aerial imagery. I know of very few tax appraisers that use Google imagery. The majority use a service similar to Eagleview, with both straight down and oblique looks and the...

Did you read the opening page of the town’s GIS website?

What dimension lumber are you using for purlins? Will likely need to be larger for the 12’ span.

Look into a stand alone antenna tower with the base anchored in concrete. Very solid and no chance of roof damage from walking/crawling or fastners through the roof deck. Allows for easy, future installation of additional antennas. a 20’ tower should be adequate and greatly reduces signal loss...

A couple of thoughts. Your height is being determined by your lift and need for storage. Consider making sidewalls 12’ high, using scisor trusses to get your height above the lift. Then add 12’ on to the end of the building to get your storage space. Price it out and i believe you will save on...

I do not believe so. Need a minimum of 12 feet 6 inches. Rim height is 10 feet, standard backboard is 2 feet 6 inches above the rim.

i went with pallet racking. Made multipurpose pallets, held sleds in the summer, mower deck, and small riding mower in the winter. Adjustble to fit the need as interest change over the years.

If your finishing the inside with metal, make your inside purlins match the ones on the exterior. What is your post spacing, 4' or 8'? Either way, they make rolls of insulation that will fit perfectly.

I know of a few who have attended, one that is there now. All in the diesel program. Another option might be Ferris State University in Michigan. again in the middle of nowhere, but good reputation for automotive and diesel programs.

Jeff, If i understand correctly, the build will be against a wall, not freestanding. If so, I would take a different approach. 1-8 foot 4x4 3-14foot long 2x6 8-2 foot long 2x4 Use lag bolts and attach one 2x6 to the wall, so the top is 4 feet above the floor (I would make the top 3 feet 11...

How much are you going to spend to save? Your driveway approach is going to cost you $138, not sure of your lot size, but at $1 a foot, your going to need a lot of curb to afford a lawyer.

Not so fast Slim. The imagery most cities/counties/states acquire can determine objects larger than two feet by two feet, some as small as six inches square. Most are also running change detection software comparing two different dates of imagery looking for impprovements. Fred's 20'x14' will...

Option #1. They make bats 8' & 10' wide, different lengths (maybe additional widths but that is what i have used). Brother inlaw hung the 10' bats, then 2x4 purlins, then drywall. My 8' wide roll, 2x4 and metal siding are in the garage, hope to get started next week.

When I built my building in 2001, the cost of a used 8000 pound capacity forklift, and 12 sections of pallet racking 8 foot high was one third the cost of installing an overhead crane. I shopped around for the forklift but found one that can also be used outside on gravel, makes it easier to...

This is one of those do it right the first time, or pay the consequenses down the road. BTDT! I 'did' what you are thinking, and 5 years later punched a hole to correct it. I also had to fix the ceiling drywall damage and replace a portion of the insulation. Here is what happens. I live in...

Had one at one time. Split level house, four foot of garage was below grade, driveway sloped from the street down into the garage. Sump pump was in back corner of garage with perimeter drains and downspouts connected, also had drains outside the overhead doors that dumped into the pit. Fluids...
