Garage design

Basically I only have cost of materials into it. The only labor I paid for was getting the foundation put in and having the concrete floor poured. Other than that I pretty much did all of the work myself.

I don't think I'm at $95k - but it could be $60-$75k.

I'll try to take a few pictures of the inside to demonstrate what I mean by "usable space" - and why I don't like trusses.

I'd really enjoy seeing the pics!!!!

Very nice barn. I am considering a similar barn in MA. I was thinking 28 x 32 with a dutch gambrel roof. I looked at an outback steel frame gambrel but everytime I talked with sales rep, they came back with a different size/ different layout with a higher price. I also need to stay away from steel siding look. I'm thinking pine barn board exterior. Did you work from a set of plans?

You guys gotta quit calling these buildings barns. A lot of people live in less.

When I built my house over 20 years ago, my municipality wouldn't allow a detached garage on my farm zoning. BUT I was allowed "barns and produce accessory buildings ".
I had to submit plans for a "barn". It's on legal title as such.

This is the view from the house.
