So excited and wanted to share my build. I will update photos as the process continues. We started clearing the wooded lot on Tuesday 3/22. Wednesday 3/30 they are scheduled to start construction.

Looks fantastic so far... Can't wait to see more!

I didn't have to clear land for my building.

Looks like a good start! What are you going to do with the logs? I bet those would make some good wood projects! Maybe use some of them to build a bench for your workshop after milling them down a little.

Looks like you need to set your dogs up with a tow chain and have them drag the logs around! :lol: :D

Logs are going to a friend with a wood stove for firewood. As far as the dogs...life is to good for them to do that kind of work! [emoji23]

40 x 50 ... now that's a good size[emoji106]

Give us some more details on the plan.
10' walls, R30 in ceiling finished with white steel panels, R19 in walls, partition wall at 40' so i will have a 10'x40' ground level storage area. Decided to do that instead of attic trusses. I figured in 15 years i am not gonna want to carry all my stuff to be stored up steps. Wanted to stay with 10' ceilings because I didn't want the building to look like a huge commercial building. Tan siding, burgundy roof, wainscoting and trim. Looking to do Rust Bullet on the floor.

I don't blame you one bit. What size are the O/H doors ?


I noticed you're in Jim Thrope, been there about 11 years ago for a pre build trip, had a huge steak and got slightly intoxicated. Nice looking little town. :beer:

A few more pics from todays work. Only got one wall up today. Had a hard time with some of the holes because its so rocky here. My buddy will be there with his mini excavator in the AM. Should have it all framed tomorrow.

I never seen a crew put up girts one a single wall without having the rest of the poles up.

I'd guess they were trying to make the best of the day because of the rock filled holes or they get one wall all up and square everything off that ?

Rest of the hole dug with mini excavator, all posts are set. Hopefully all the framing will be done today.

Nice, are you going to put plywood or chip board on the inside walls? I wish you had them use 2X6 for the wall stringers, instead of the 2X4. Still will be a nice useful building.:thumbup:

Probably OSB on the interior walls after insulation. Having them finish the ceiling with the white steel panels.
