Since we are getting closer to this being a reality I wanted to get some input. At this time we have a quote for a 30x56x14 building. 30' was about as wide as we could go, I might be able to fit another foot or 2' in width and I could add to the length, but want to keep the cost reasonable.
This will replace an old 19x22 detached garage.
They will be using 3 ply laminated 2x6 posts with sleeves, 8' on center 4/12 trusses 48" on center vented ridge and 12" vented side over hangs.
2x4 roof purlins and wall girts, 2x6 grade boards.
One man door and 5 windows. I have also quoted a 20x12 insulated door, I will be backing in a boat and possibly a travel trailer if we go back to owning one and wanted plenty of width to make it easy to back in. I also didn't want the narrow spaces by going with 2 separate 12' wide doors on the 30' end wall.
They will install the metal ceiling and have R38 blown insulation, the side walls will be wrapped and have 2" closed cell foam.
It will have a 4" fiber reinforced concrete floor sawcut, sealed with visqueen underneath after the site is filled, leveled and compacted. there is about a 1-2 foot drop in the back third of the site.
I plan on finishing the interior walls after I have the electricity ran. My plan is to use 4x8 wood on the bottom and possibly metal on the top 6" depending on the prices when I get to that point.
I have 15 LED deformable lights I plan on using in 3 rows of 5 on separate switches. I have a 8 year old 100,000 BTU 2 stage furnace that was given to me to heat with. I just need it to be converted back to natural gas from LP.
We recently talked about a mezzanine in part of the back of the building for extra storage, so I have debated in maybe going with 16' walls but I am not sure if the extra expense is worth it. That would open the option of a 14' door and the option of a 5th wheel camper if we wanted to go that route.
The main use will be workspace, truck, boat, utv, RV storage along with other common stuff. We have an attached 2 car garage also.
The building will be started late in April/May. I am located in north central Indiana.
What else do I need to plan for or worry about. Any input or critique is welcomed.
Pictures will follow as we begin.
Thanks in advance for your input.
