36 x 40 x 14 Garage

[oscar80]

Finally started on my garage. It's 36 x 40 x 14 with two 10 x 12 foot doors and one man door.

Hired a truck based auger. 14 holes 8 18 inch holes and 6 24 inch holes all 40 inches deep. Only took two hours with the truck.

Poles being set:

You suck,its so rocky around here you have to have dynamite to get a cat in the ground.

Absolutely no rock in my yard. Go 3 miles away and it is all rock.

Talking bout putting square pegs, in a round hole! NICE Truck!

A digger derrick beats the hell outta doing it by hand! Good call.

 

[oscar80]

Yeah the cost was cheaper than renting an auger head for a bobcat

You have any close up pictures of how those truss are connected? Looks similar to what I'm wanting.

 

[oscar80]

I can take some tonight. They are notched in and screwed to the post.

Bought it as a kit from Hansen pole barns

Subscribed, I'm hopeful that I'll be in a position to build a large garage/storage barn in the next 6 months so I'll be following along, thanks for sharing.

Made some progress last night.

Here is a pic from the blueprint. It got turned sideways

Getting neighbors in the back ground to the right is going to be a small road. Will make it nice since now I can connect to that instead if making another driveway. Pictures were taken from my back porch.

Finished the purlins last night. Roof goes on monday.

 

[oscar80]

Bought two anchor pots. One for each bay. Hate not having some place to pull cars into shop with.

Got the roof on yesterday. Seems bigger inside now with the roof on.

Went with a clear ridge cap. Also got radiant barrier for the roof.

I like that clear ridge cap! I cant stand a dark garage/shop

 

[oscar80]

on the back wall the top three feet will be translucent panels. They were cheap upgrades.
