It's finally time; I have officially run out of room in my 60X60 (2 story inside half) and my dad is sort of asking me to get my stuff out of his barn. I got some estimates to just add a 40X60 barn (or 50X72X16) with 16' high ceiling height behind my present barn. Nothing special, but I do want a 1' overhang all the way around on the gable and eaves (so it doesn't look like a big cube) and I have 3 14' overhead doors out the front with 2 regular 36" doors and 4 double hung windows. I do want it insulated, two tone metal, and to have a 36"X36" cupola on top.
I will finish out all the interior separately, do all the electric separately and do all the concrete flooring and drains separately. I just got estimates for the actual building itself. It’s those estimates that make it relatively clear that I’m going to just buy the “kit” and build the barn completely by myself. However, I’m finding it difficult to locate places to get me quotes for the materials kit. Here is a picture of an example, but this only has one overhead door and not the colors I had in mind.
