Here we go....40x80 barn build.

[richtersrodz]

Wow.. looks great..!

 

[JordanFTW]

Mind sharing what you paid to have the "basic structure" put up? I know price is different everywhere, but I am curious what something this size would cost.

$52k. This includes windows, doors, shingled roof, attic trusses, t-111 siding etc.

That is one heck of a barn!!

Thanks Jeff, where in Cleveland are you?

 

[PurdueSD]

Man that turned out nice!

 

[Omphaloskeptic]

That building really looks good!

Quick question on the z-channel, did it require any special treatment prior to the finish coat on the exterior?

We used a spray primer on it before finish coat.

[atomicsaladbowl]

Awesome job!

 

[vntperformance]

WOW!!! That build is beautiful.

Can I ask how much you have total invested now & how much did the concrete work run you and what are the specs (depth, psi, etc)?

 

[VMX42]

You really don't need the Christmas Tree, with a shop like that you have it all already.

Very nice…

 

[Justanoldguy]

Very nice. I'm jealous.
Mine is the same size but built in the '50's
so nowhere near as nice ...

 

[Nealcrenshaw]

Good googly goo. that garage is a monster!!

 

[mad57]

Very nice shop...something tells me your never going in the house again

 

[930]

Concrete was $3 per sq ft. 5000 psi, 5 1/2 inches thick with fiber mesh. 8 inches thick by overhead door. 4 1/2 inches thick with wire mesh outside. Total invested north of 110k. Thanks for all the compliments!

I was just telling my buddy that yesterday!

 

[JohnK007]

Fantastic build! Couple of questions. What size heaters are you using downstairs? Also, what are you using to heat the upstairs? From the photos it looks like you have plenty of light. What fixtures are those on the main level? Looks like double 3 banks. I assume 4' T-8's about 12 foot apart? Your space is so big they could very well be 8 foot tubes! I like your using can lights upstairs. Nice clean look and again, appears to be plenty of light. Very nicely done!!

 

[930]

Two 100,000btu heaters downstairs, 3 ton a/c and 80,000 btu furnace upstairs. Lights are 6 lamp 4 ft T-5's. Can lights upstairs have LED inserts.

 

[bighammer]

what are you gonna use it for? and what will the upstairs be used as?? Great build!!!

 

[re1]

Wow, great building,
is it a barn or a super garage?

 

[930]

As of today, still have to stain wood trim above metal.

Looks great! What is planned for the man cave? And what are you going to do with the rest of the space in there? Indoor roller derby? That place is huge!

My 10yr old son will have his slotcar set and train set upstairs. Also a Checkpoint Porsche pinball machine, tanning bed, tv, etc...The barn will fill up fast with a 2 post lift, cabinets, and more cars.

[930]

Ha! Thank you!

 

[Aaron P.]

wow...thats some shack ya got...would love that in the garden....some amount of money poured into that....

 

[mws444]

Great Place! Gotta love the bigger is better approach. I see with the four post lifts you have that collection of of corner eating cars is going to continue to grow.
I see you already have started decorating your space, something I have yet to even start. Nothing better than building a place you can enjoy with the young one on the couch plying video games, and the proud owner of the minibike I assume. I also really like the craftsmanship that shows through the enitre build


A+!!!!
