I started building this last May and the weather stayed crappy for half the summer (and the summers are short here) and I am still working on it now lol
It's a 36x50 Menards pole barn building, but unlike a pole barn with the girts laying flat on the outside of the posts, this is a bookshelf building. It's a hell of a lot more labor positioning the girts between the posts but it made insulating and finishing the inside a breeze!
I basically built the building by myself (thus the reason for it still not being finished.) My son and a friend of his helped with the rafters and purlins.
Most of the inside is finished except for the bottom two feet which I couldn't insulate and OSB until the concrete was poured. I didn't pour concrete until this Spring because by the time I got most of the building complete, Winter had arrived. I didn't want to have to cover or heat the building until the concrete cured, so I just waited for Spring. The concrete is done now and I will begin the insulating and finishing the last of the wall board on my next days off.
During the winter I ran all of the electrical wiring for outlets and wired up 12, 8ft florescent lights. They sure make working in there at night very nice.
I will post more pics after I get the rest of the interior finished and my workbench built so I can get all of my tools organized.
This is a great site, and thanks for letting me post my garage project!
