24x28 2013 Barn Build

[pinhead]

Here is my summer 2013 project. I did most of it myself. I had a contractor do the slab and had some friends throwing on roofing and siding. It was a ton of work but happy with the final product.

looks great! how are the vertical support beams held in place on the cement? are they anchored some how to the cement?

 

[upndown]

Sweet homestead. Nice to have friends that are willing to help out!

Awesome Build. Love it.

 

[PatStroud]

Well done

 

[Mr. Roboto]

Very nice! Where are you located? What is the age of the house?

Thanks. Yes they are anchored with simpson 6x6 rough cut bases.

Thanks for the comments. We are in VT. The house was built in 2011.

Nice, I was going to guess somewhere in New England. House looks great, It has the appearance of a nice old colonial, but the poured foundation made me think twice. Would love to see the inside!

Nice build. Had to be fun to start from scratch. The loft looks pretty spacious. Any pics of the inside coming?

The loft has a 4 foot knee wall so, yes, it does provide a nice space. I'll try to grab some interior pics but it is embarrassingly messy at the moment. I'm having it insulated and prepped for heat.

Very nice, how high is the ceiling in first floor and is that a 12/12 pitch?

Now I want to build a two story garage again!

Can you show a closeup of how the post are anchored to the pad?

And the barn looks great. It has the charm of a resurrected old barn. Job well done sir, job well done!!!!

Beautiful garage man. Also, I like the wrap around deck on the house. Thanks for the free motivation!

 

[jwhcars]

Very well done. Both the house and barn look like they belong together.

 

[Ned Kelly]

I've always been a sucker for a standing seam metal roof. Nicely done!

 

[Sunbimmer]

It's been said many times already but it's the only thing you can say, beautiful garage, house and location could easily be my dream place.
Absolutely love the porch

The posts are anchored with a J bolt embedded in the concrete and then a simpson post base bolted to that. Pretty simple as long as you plan your post before your concrete pour. The 1" stand off of the post base keeps any rot away.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. Now I just need all the inspiration on this forum to set up the inside.

Steven....9 foot ceilings on the first floor. It is a 10/12 pitch. Funny that more people don't build 2 stories. The cost was nearly nothing to add a enough height for a second story.
