Default Barn Build










I am building a 36 by 24 two story barn (loft). Been delayed by this wet spring and mud in my side lot - moved from back lot to be closer to house and use as a garage at times. . had to clear this front side area anyway since 85% were Ash trees and the emerald borer got them bad last couple years.

Nice! I had a 24x36 pole barn I used as a woodworking shop built at my last house. Are you going to run electrical service, insulate and condition that space?

Keep pics coming!

Nice. You really have to do serious foundation work up there.

If he posted pictures of himself driving does he need to post a pic of his drivers license so he doesn't get inquisitioned?

Yes. see pics on post below (in a few minutes). It is a Country Carpenter Barn from Hebron. They have a great video tour of this 1 and 1/2 story barn on their web-site. Everyone I talked to says they are the best for post and beam. I thought of doing a stick built version but for a variety of reasons went with these guys. The stick version didn't save much $and it is sorta an old post and beam barn neighborhood :-)

@ just over $50 per sq. ft. that's not bad at all, very nicely done.
