This has been going on for a while now but I just havent had time to put up pics etc. Anyway, here goes.

Specs:
40’x48’x12’ pole barn construction
Full attic ~16.5’x44’x8’ - designed to be additional shop space - likely for woodworking and storage - with walk-up stairs
Radiant floor heat
100A electrical
Water, etc.

I think Ill just toss up a handful of pics a day until we are caught up.

Nice, congrats!, you’re gonna love having some extra space. I’ve been Working on the inside of mine, it’s slower going than I hoped, but it’s going.

X…

16

Awesome…

17

best thread ever!

18

Cool. Ya, I have no specific timeline here. Id LOVE to have it insulated and heated by winter, but Im pretty sure that wont happen. Just for kicks I had MIG quote the insulation job (R21 wall, R38 ceiling - 2x12 attic floor joists)… $6k ouch. Of course Ill do that myself. Looks like at Lowes prices its about $3k, not terrible.

Dan

19

This is awesome. I wish I had a budget and space for this

20

Great now the caviler will just get pushed into a BIGGER corner :stuck_out_tongue:

But really wish I had more space on my property for somthing like that.
