24X32 Pole garage build

[aschwartz]

This is my first post and want to thank everyone for all the information they have shared on this forum.
Today started the build of my 24X32 pole garage. It is about 5 months later than what I hoped but an early winter freeze set me back. I will post pictures of the progress and hope to get some ideas along the way.

The first two pictures were when I left the house this morning. This picture was from four hours after they started today when I ran home during lunch.

Offtopic: is it camera perspective, or was that a HUGE friggin' tree in the last shot?

It was an oak tree with 42" diameter at the base. We dropped it over the weekend so they could start building.

This is after day one.

Wow that's fast! I'm hoping to build at least a 24x36 (I'd like bigger) I will be watching the progress on this one!

Not bad for a day's work!! I built my 24 x 48 pretty much by myself and it took me........I don't know it's not done yet. Looks like a nice building in a nice setting.

I like how it's looking. Nice choice on the windows and doors, very ranch looking.

Excited to see more.

 

[theroyz71]

Looking good.

 

[babzog]

Nice build! Guys work fast!

I wish I would have had the room to build something like that. Sweet!

That is a real tragedy to sacrifice an oak of that size. It must have been a couple hundred years old. Did you count the rings? I hope you were able to save some of the wood.

This picture was day two of the build around lunch time.

These are from the end of day two build

Wow!!! For two days, someone isn't sitting around much. Great job Just out of curiosity, are Amish building it?

 

[aschwartz]

Yes it is amish built by Stoltzfus-Builders out of Lancaster PA

 

[katmat]

Looks Great!
What do you think the total cost will be?

 

[aschwartz]

Some interior pics

 

[Barz51]

Wow that is moving along incredibly quickly! Looks great.

 

[sids04]

Nice !

 

[theoldwizard1]

Nice garage ! I hope you got some nice wood out of that big oak tree !

 

[chris fresh]

is that 10/6 wire laying on the ground? and are they using that 2x for key joint or just something to screed off?. definitly get that wire up with hats or stone.it does you no good laying under the slab.

nice build tho,and i love the red/grey and white color scheme.very nice

 

[Mikie]

Amazing, it went up so fast! Are you going to insulate it? The workmanship looks very nice too, I hope when I build mine, that it looks as good as yours.

 

[Falcon67]

Excellent - like the size and the colors, very nice building. Too bad they drug their feet getting it up LOL. Subscribed.

 

[Mikie]

I wish there were Amish builders in my state! Those guys are good...

 

[aschwartz]

Day three they poured the floor and finished up a few things on the exterior.

 

[aschwartz]

I have been in many pole buildings and I think this is the best build I have seen. I am not just saying that because it is mine but these guys did one heck of a job.
I hope to start this week on the inside of the garage. My pan is to stud it out insulate and drywall. I figure I have three to four weeks to do all the interior work before I can paint the floor. Trying not to use the garage as a garage until the floor is painted.

 

[ed_v]

These guys are obviously slackers. Next time you should hire more resourceful workers

Just kidding of course. That building looks great! Nice job.

[colt zantop]

wow...looks great! nice job!

Any idea what your total cost for the building is? Also, how tall is your ceiling? I want just about the same building setup, but I want to put a lift in it so I'll need at least 10' of over head clearance.

 

[Daniel Dudley]

This thread is a perfect example of what a pole barn is, how it is built, and why they offer so much bang for the buck.

 

[aschwartz]

The ceilings are 10' from the floor. The total cost for the building was under 12000.00. That included the building, four double hung windows, 9 light man door, two 9x8 insulated garage doors with windows, 1' overhang all around and concrete floor.

 

[aschwartz]

Here are the pics with the doors on.

beautiful

 

[ychtcptn]

Nice, I hope to be starting on my Pole built boat barn soon.

 

[ToolBoxTavern]

Nice

 

[Falcon67]

$12K? That looks way better than the money would indicate. Killer deal.

 

[Kilo70]

Very Nice..Looks perfect! That size is about the most I could fit on my lot, Im jealous.

 

[PistolWhip]

That's a steal of a deal right there! Under $12k with concrete!? Can you PM me some contact info, I want to see if they work in Jersey at all.

 

[Mikie]

That same build would run $22,000 in my area. I wonder if those fellas would like an airplane ride...
