Starting Over

[swish]

Hello, my name real name is Jamie. Long time lurker few time poster. After living in our first home for 18 years my wife and I found our dream home with15 acres and lots of privacy. I have been on a 3 year remodel, and within the next month Pioneer Poll Buildings will be starting on a 40x48 Garage. Here is where I started out a rancher style house and attached garage.


Two story 24x24 garage nothing fancy, but for a 25 year old I was happy. Lived there for 18 years and did a lot of work out of it.

Well it's only been 6 months since I started this thread, but it's 15 degrees outside and I'm sitting inside by the woodstove. The couple we bought the property were down sizing and we bought it as is. Their was two existing sheds one a 12x30 Esh building with a lean to on each side, Their was also a 10x10 behind it that was rotted up.

The building had a loft in that was 6' high, which is great for most people but with me being 6'4" I got tired off running my head into it and cut it down.

Defiantly not my dream garage, but it was better than laying in the dirt and grass.

After I tore down the smaller rotten shed, I wanted to move a shed from my old house. Their were a couple of dead standing ash that need cut. Good thing I have a friend who is a professional tree cutter.

I had a 12x16 shed at my old house that would fit perfect in place of the rotten shed. I built a new landing with 4 concrete 12" pylons 30" deep with a 8" bed of crusher run.

It only took him about 30 minutes to move it a mile, but I still think I got a deal at $100
