24' x 28' Pole Barn

[3/4tonYJ]

2 story 24' x 28' Hot Rod Pole Barn (with a 12 x 20 lean to)

If some of the design elements seem non-professional it's because they are. I've pretty much done all the work myself, and still have long way to go.

here's acouple pics taken during the beginning of build.........

Looks Good...checked out your jeep page too I have a VERY mildly modified 85 CJ7 (31"s, 3" lift, rear locker)

 

[red vette mike]

Good job. Looks good.

 

[3/4tonYJ]

It has 100 amp service, and i have some switched outlets running around the 1st floor ceiling with 4 grills (8 flood lights) installed, they really light up the place good. I have 4 cheap flourescents also, but they don't put out much light on there own (exspecially when it's cold)

 

[3/4tonYJ]

haven't been on the board in awhile, thought i'd look around for some ideas and update my thread......
you can laugh at the pink countertop, it was free. but does work good for clean-up. the hole was slightly modified to fit the parts washer.

edit, added acouple more with the heater, it's run off Keroseen (could use fuel-oil) i'm still working on the ducting going to the 2nd floor

 

[kamkuda]

True Gear head. Very Nice!!!

 

[kamkuda]

And I love the grills and lights, Cool idea

 

[Magneto349]

I love the idea with the benchtop parts washer! Thats a great idea! But I dont think I would sit my parts washer that close to the heater. Just a thought.

 

[Yotaforce]

I like the big sliding door with a door, that slides over the smaller door. Very creative!

 

[3/4tonYJ]

i thought alot about the doors, and am pretty pleased with how they function. here's one with the large door open......

 

[PurdueSD]

I checked out your website...impressive. Wish you were closer, i need a mentor for th 90 grand wagoner drivetrain overhaul in my future.

I've pretty much don't all the work myself, and still have long way to go. If some of the design elements seem non-professional it's because they are.

here's acouple pics to start....................

What is your awning made out of????? Very nice by the way!

 

[3/4tonYJ]

the small "awning" over the door is a alluminum, i got it used.......think it's vintage 70's maybe.

i hung acouple more signs outside.....(i think if i spent more time on my truck and less on the garage, i'd be driving this summer............)

 

[Scuderia-F1]

Just stumbled up on this thread.
Thats a good looking shop you have there, any chance of any more pics?

 

[3/4tonYJ]

just acouple pics to get my old thread back going.....

will add some more that show the vinyl siding completed.

current picture,
got a car lift and gonna be rebuilding/installing this winter. then considering a 12' x 24' addition on to the right side.

 

[3/4tonYJ]

got the Weaver 9000 lb lift apart, was leaking from one cylinder. going to rebuild both clean and grease everything else

got this beast for $200, I'm sure i'll spend more getting ready

 

[3/4tonYJ]

got the left side cleaned and up in a temporary location. A car lift has been on my "want list" for quite a few years.... it looks real nice sitting there, I can't wait to get other side up, bolted down etc..... and use it..

Re: 24' x 28' Pole Barn with 12 x 22 addition

I'm starting a 22 x 12 lean-to addition.... sticking with the pole building techniques....

last picture is the wall area I plan to remove once addition is complete. basically is going to be place to park my 52 Ford so I have more room to work...

plan to build some large carriage doors that total 11 ft. wide so I can back the trailer inside with a car on it. looking for a good deal on craigslist for some wide/short windows.....

not the easiest place to back a trailer into but is doable.

couple of the build pictures...

Re: 24' x 28' Pole Barn with 12 x 22 lean-to

got the 12' rafters up yesterday, covered with a tarp.... snow today....

 

[3/4tonYJ]

snow snow snow..... enough already

since I can't do any work, I designed the carriage doors.
plan is to have maximum overhead clearance and match rest of garage style. door on the left will open in upper or lower sections, thought it might be nice for ventilation.

 

[Sunbimmer]

The trailer is AWESOME man

 

[msgross]

nice build, I'm in Central PA as well... nice deal on the lift

 

[BSAschields]

Nice Trailer .

 

[3/4tonYJ]

replaced the two temp window I had at stairs platform with some "Craigslist" deals..... I really like the amount of light they let in. it's kinda hard to take a good picture of them.

one 5' x 6'(wide) and other is 5' x5'

 

[3/4tonYJ]

warmed up alittle, now I've got mud to deal with.

put up acouple rolls of armored cable, 4 lights and a few outlets, removed the vinyl siding etc......

 

[3/4tonYJ]

got enclosed and started taking down wall..... will be 36 ft. wide now

 

[3/4tonYJ]

a couple updated pictures, now looking for a 14' I-beam so I can remove one of the 6x6 posts.

 

[3/4tonYJ]

just got the 3rd bay concrete slab poured and getting ready to redo the "Wall Workbench" I build over 10 years ago out of left over wood.

 

[3/4tonYJ]

getting upstairs set up......(finially)

[3/4tonYJ]

I really don't like snow..... but once I dug in I was able to work on my 29 hi-boy....

 

[madison069]

Nice shop!

As for the snow, it looks like you got a lot of it! Folks south of me said they had 20" in some area.

 

[3/4tonYJ]

picked up a bigger air compressor for 2 bills, only problem is it don't work.

i'm pretty sure it's the "run capacitor" after checking it out.

it's a 230 volt single phase 5 HP motor.

 

[sean Buick 76]

Very cool projects and nice work on the red trailer!

 

[3/4tonYJ]

Very cool projects and nice work on the red trailer!

thanks, had to paint trailer green to match my 78 van tow rig........

After replacing a bad capacitor the compressor motor only hummed. I triple checked everything and could find nothing wrong, finally took motor apart and immediately found one of the centrifical switches connection bad. fix, put back together and all work great....

picked up this sander not working (actually just wasn't' wired through switch. now selling my smaller compressor and belt sander on Craigslist.

also a picture of my "new" electronic engine analyzer.

 

[3/4tonYJ]

my garage windows up high are wonderful certain time of the year...
