New Garage Project (Almost) Done!

[Eric300]

It's been a few weeks since the excavation started for the pad, and my new garage was delivered this morning. It's a pre-built 16' x 32' garage. Pretty slick operation how they off-load it and set it up. Took less than an hour to set it up once they pulled up in front of my house with it. It's going to store my 2 ATV's, Zero Turn, Log Splitter, Chain Saws, Harley, Snow Blower, Weed Whips, and misc. other stuff.

Gonna start this weekend tearing off the lean-to and siding the entire (original) garage/barn. And just for the record, I do not enjoy doing this kind of stuff!!

Interesting. Name of manufacturer ?
Gonna run power to it ?

 

[alwslate]

How much does something like that cost?

Looks like a pretty slick operation. Impressive!

The name is 'Homestead Barns' aka Amish Outdoor Buildings. Some kind of Amish based company.

Garages & Lofted Garages | Amish Outdoor Buildings of Michigan

I'll run 110vac to it eventually. I have enough irons in the fire at the moment.

How much does something like that cost?

I upgraded to urethane exterior paint, a 7'x10' overhead door instead of 7'x8' overhead door, 1 additional 2'x3' window, and the 8' ramp was extra. Signed, sealed and delivered....$16,265.70.

BTW, it shipped from Indiana.

Thanks! It ain't quite over yet. Gotta get that garage and barn done now.

Very nice! In my old life (pre Texas) I had a similar, but a tad smaller, garage delivered so that I had a place for my John Deere 2210. I had to use the 2210 to prep the pad for the shed, good times! I ran power to it and it was a great storage shed up until the divorce and relocation.

Great looking garage, and the Amish are very good builders. I think that you got a deal for what you paid!

 

[doublesharp]

Nice building! I've done a fair amount of business with a southern Indiana Amish clan and am well satisfied.

This is a father and son team putting up my pole barn garage a few years ago.

We had a 10x20ft Tuff Shed put together in our back yard to replace a old style 4x6 beam base shed that had started coming apart. We were getting some driveway work done and the company put together a really nice 6 inch slab to put the new shed on. The guy who came out to measure the slab to get the pre-built walls properly sized said it was the best slab he had seen done before. Nice and square all around. Now that the paint is starting to get thin I plan to get it covered with vinyl/aluminum siding like Dad had the house done with. Between that slab and the siding it should outlast me.

Well, I figured I would seal the wooden floor before I started pulling machinery in there and spilling gas and oil that would soak into floor. so, I went to Home Depot today and bought 2 gallons of 'Deck Over' that was just shy of $100.00 I figured that should do the trick. 11' 8" later both cans were empty! Probably going to take 3 1/2 to 4 more gallons to finish the job. What a miscalculation on my part. I really wasn't planning on spending $300.00 just to seal the floor! Back to Home Depot tomorrow...

94* and 85% humidity today. Not the best for finishing up the floor in that hot box but I got it done. sweated like a heroin addict all the while, though. Had to buy 4 more gallons and used every drop! I'll start moving all my stuff in it tomorrow. I'm plumb tuckered out.

We had a 10x14 shed delivered. I wanted to go with a 10x16 but zoning regs kept us to 14.
The trailers they use are quite slick. They can move them sideways via the dolly wheels.
The guy that delivered ours parked ours on an angle and had to muscle it in to its final location with pry bars.
My wife and I jacked it up later and put pipes under it on 4x4s and rolled it over about a foot to make room to put a gate on the one side.

The best of luck with the demo. project. I like you can always find something more interesting and fun to do than manual labor. but I generally enjoy the results when it's finished

That's a nice looking building. It.s amazing to watch them unload and place those buildings in place with the wheels on the back and the little steering engine. I bought my 10X20 shed at a garage sale for $2,000.00. The owner had just bought it that year. It cost me $200.00 to move it and it took nine gallons of paint to paint it. It has lofts on each end and holds three riding mowers, tiller, sprayer, ladders, garden tools and much more. Some of the best money I've spent.

 

[Eric300]

I built another shelf today to store all my gas cans. That's about the extent of my carpentry skills. Slowly, but surely (and don't call me Shirley), it's getting there....

 

[Eric300]

Got 99% of my stuff in with plenty of room left for my Harley and possibly a new side-by-side in the near future.

Looking good [emoji1303]

Started and finished the demo on the lean-to yesterday with the help of a couple of buddys. And that included clean-up and disposal of all lumber and ground trash. I'm getting too old for this manual labor stuff. I'm pretty sore from head to toe this morning, not to mention the few nail puncture wounds I sustained on my arms. Vinyl siding and aluminum trim is next.
