46x48 Pole Barn Addition

[C10Dan]

Hi all. I'm new to this forum and currently working on an addition to my existing 40x40 pole barn. I thought I would share what's going on since I'm sure I'm going to have some questions as I go.

My existing barn was built in 2008 and was on a 40x40 footprint. However, 10x24 of that is overhang, so my inside footprint is really about 30x40.

Here's my original barn:





I decided to put on an addition this year before winter and got working on a 46x48 addition with 14' ceilings.

Here is the start:







More to come.

Nice! Should take a while to fill that up. What are the usage plans? Nice looking pick up you have there.

I'm sure it won't take too long to fill it up. You know the saying, "The more room you have, the more stuff you get". I just don't want that to happen. My plans are to use the new addition as a hot rod garage. The existing building will be the workshop. Eventually I want to put in a two post lift and use it for my classic trucks. I plan to add neon signs and other memorabilia. Thanks for the compliment on my K10 truck.
