Need some more covered and even some enclosed area...

Having a steel barn put in Friday.

Been busy making the pad with caliche base and washed rock top coat.

Lots more work than when you first figure it... whistle

Had to clear the area, level it, haul base in, level that and roll it in, then haul the washed rock in and level it...

Had two good sized oaks I had to cut, and then get the stumps below grade level as well.

Hope the finished product looks okay and lasts awhile. wink

I'll post a pic after the builders leave.

Seems like a good use for a dump trailer!

Having a pad ready for a building is no small thing. When Jake, and I built his shed ten years ago the dirt work, and hauling for the pad was $6000 with dirt off the farm.

Hope they don't have to set a post on top of one of those oak stumps.

36' wide by 26' deep w/ 12' wide x 26' garage with roll up shop type door, walk in door and two windows.

Main part of the barn is drive through for tractors, etc.

Yeah, it's expensive here too. Luckily, I had some extra material from when I resurfaced my road coming into the ranch here, and it was close enough to use my loader bucket to place it.

grin Yeah, I positioned it so that the two stump areas were interior to any bearing wall structure.

Yeah, I know.

I just have to do a bit at a time, until I win the lottery... smile

The new barn is in addition to the first one I added a few years ago. It tends to get crowded... Keeping my welding trailer in that one only leaves room for one tractor.

That will be nice, Barry. Always use another barn/shed. When I get thru with the house, I've got to do something. Probably build another barn, but enclose part of it for a shop. Always cheaper to build than to buy.

Nice shop! You’ll like it.

I know about build what you can afford.

Also build bigger than what you think you’ll need.


I built my shop 30x40.

I was working offshore at the time. 2 and 2.

Took about 6 months from slab to putting up the last tin.

Except for the slab, my dad and i did everything.

Since then we’ve built a 28’x40’ drop shed on one side.

Thanks!

Some posts driven, and there are 12 3 foot auger anchors as well.

Just a compacted road base pad with washed rock on top for the pad. No concrete.

My main shop here at the house has concrete floors. The one above was just to park tractors and ATV's, riding lawn mower, etc.

Maybe skin a deer under it, and such.
