Started on siding yesterday. Also got the 320A Meter Pan and Generac Automatic Transfer switch mounted for the generator. Mounted both panels on a 3/4" sheet of PCV board. Also got the two 200A panels mounted inside. One will be on generator and the other one will have stuff thats not needed when the power is out. I ran a sub panel upstairs and one down stairs to feed each floor as well as the sub panel in the shop.
Here are some pics. Also got some better pics of the shop and porch floor now that it has dried out some.

Barn and home match very nicely. Can't wait to see the stone on the barn!

I really like the "two Panel" idea for running a generator.......sure beats a small 6-8 circuit Gen-Tec switch...........do they serve both buildings ???? What I mean is my barn/workshop is powered by a 100 amp service panel that comes through my house's 200 amp panel......could this setup be so that the generator would run circuits in the house and feed the garage so the heat and some lights will be available in both structures during a power outage? You know just the heat sourse some lights ,well, etc...I would like to hear more about this..........Bobbycoke

Thanks. Georgia Pacific Double 5". The color is Pewter. I wanted 6.5" Carolina Beaded but they didnt have it in the color i wanted. If I wanted to spend the money i would of went with Hardie Board. Its really nice stuff. But double the cost of vinyl siding. The Iron Gray color they have im really a fan of.
Thanks thats what i was going for. Stone is 3-4 weeks out on being installed. So stay tuned!
I have 3 125A subpanels. 1 upstairs in my house, 1 in the basement (runs the well, geothermal heat, etc.), and 1 in the shop. All 3 of them will be on the panel thats on the backup generator. I will put things like the oven, washer/dryer, some lights, receptacles, etc. on the other panel. It really wont be a whole lot. The whole house will be LED fixtures, I can have every light on in the house and only draw 50A. The generator is 22 KW.

If I may ask what is the sq ft cost and type of stone you are doing?
Any of it wrapped on the columns?

Its Bello Stone (manufactured), runs about $10.50 S.F. installed.
The colums on the shop porch will be wrapped with a PVC column. The porch on the house will have stone on the block porch columns and then a tapered PVC column ontop.

I dont plan on getting married but if i do there will be a prenup. The property will be put into a trust, so even if she wanted it she cant have it. I'm not going to get into the details but i will be fine.

I love the build and thank you for posting the progress/process. My dreams have been fulfilled with just a 3-car garage but it's nice to see the result of having big dreams.

I'm the general contractor. I've subbed a lot of it out. I did the site work and dug the basement. I've been helping another electrician do the electrical work. I pay my guys pretty good so it cost me more to use my own guys then it does to hire it out. I wish I could be there all day but work is always busy.

That will be a great setup, I really like it so far. Can you post more info on your '69 Camaro? I bet that SRT8 will be wicked once you do the work to it you've mentioned.

Thank you. What more do you want to know? Its a real Z28. All of the number match except for the block. Its been replaced at some point. It is a DZ302 block just not the one that came with the car. M21 trans. Its stock just like it came from the factory. My dad actually bought it for his birthday back in 2010. Thats his baby. He replaced the floor pan, wheels/tires, gas tank and recoated the underbody before he bought the car. It needs a few odds and ends like the handles replaced or re chromed and the same for the windshield wipers. But other than that its a beautiful car. Paint is nearly perfect.

Some more pictures from the last few days...
Siding should be wrapped up next week and stone is on order and should start installing in 2-3 weeks. Once the house is weather tight I'm going to insulate and drywall.
The electrical service is built on the house, just need to get my 1.25" conduit tied into the panel so i can get my wire pulled to the sub panel in the shop. If you have any questions or comments feel free to ask.

Hemi,
Thanks for the info on the Camaro, that is very nice and glad you/your father are keeping it as close to numbers matching as you can. The way I see it you should build a car one of two ways, close to factory if it is close to a survivor or rare, or bat **** crazy! Keep it up on both builds, that is awesome you are taking on both builds at once.

Yes the camaro is staying the way it is. As for the 56' pickup and 67' chevelle the same cant be said. I have big plans coming for both once the shop is finished.

So, what do you do if one is hit by something, and needs replacing? Reason I ask, as an old neighbor did the same thing with a driveway cover ... and then his kid ran into one while learning a stick.
He basically had to cut the concrete to pull the stub out. When it was time to put the post in he used a steel rod and plate to get the post up, and out off the concrete. When all done he added some thin trim to the bottom ... looked good.

If that ever happens i have a lot bigger things to worry about. There is only one post that would be in jeopardy. The rest face the back yard. The post is anchored in a 2' diameter concrete block as well as the footing.

Alright I got one for ya, I'm about to be starting my build in North Carolina as soon as I'm back from overseas. I'm planning on a 46 x 34 pole barn/garage. I've seen two different opinions as to seating the poles. Some say dig a 6ft hole put two feet of concrete down then throw your treated/laminated pole in (after its hardened of course) and then fill with concrete. Others say do the same all the way up to the last fill with concrete and instead use gravel to back fill so the base of the pole will never rot from pooling water, I just don't feel that will be secure enough though? So I guess after all of that, what's your take on it?

I dug a 5' deep hole by 3' in diameter. Could of done 30" based on the bearing capacity of my soil but i didnt have a 30" auger for my bobcat. Then I filled it with 1' of concrete. The next day we set the poles, squared everything up, and back filled with 1' of clean select fill to hold the poles in place. Then we filled the holes around the posts with 2.5' of concrete and then another 6" of fill material on top to bring it back up to grade. The soil in my area is very well drained so im not really worried about water damage to the poles. When you set fence posts you fill the hole with concrete and no footer. I dont ever think I've seen one rot using that method. But i would definetly suggest pouring a footer before you set your poles. Thats where your real support comes from. The depth and diameter of the holes will be dependent on the bearing capacity of your soil.

Few Pictures from yesterday and today. I can't wait to see it all finished. The stone, front columns, shutters, and window accents are going to really make it pop! The porch ceiling in the back is really nice, i paid extra to go with PVC board instead of vinyl soffit. Im having a custom aluminum screen porch enclosure made for this back porch. My parents had one made a few years ago and it turned out nice. Also had the cold floor under the cantilever bedroom spray foamed today so i could install the porch ceiling this week and keep things moving. The insulator wasn't happy but for as much money as I'm spending between the shop and house he can go out of his way once for me.

Where did you get your laminated post from? Did you assemble them or did you spec them? I've seen these many times on gj, but never in person. I thought those were an exclusive Morton building post.

The main posts on the pole barn are 3 Ply 2x6 laminated and i got them from my local material supplier. The first 5-6 feet is treated wood spliced to un treated wood above grade. The exterior poles under the lean to are 6x6 Treated. You can get them from any pole barn supply company.

Few pictures from yesterday. The crew will be back next friday to finish the ceiling under the front porch and set/wrap the beams. I can't wait for the stone to go up! My goal is to have the rough in finished and the house insulated by the end of May so i can get working on the shop! I think i've done a pretty good job so far keeping my Subs moving in the right direction.
