That's amazing!!! Gives me hope for my project, mines a lot smaller (trying to create enough space for a 21ft Winnebago and all of my tools lol), but I had budgeted 30k. (I'm in Indiana). Thanks so much for the tips, I'm absolutely going to follow your advice!
Hats off to you for your ingenuity and drive. Congratulations for all you've accomplished on a very modest budget...I enjoy your channel and homestead videos...all the best to you and your family...Happy Holidays.
Having had a couple of buildings built in the same timeframe as you, Lucas, I can say you got a DEAL!! Awesome how you and your son put in the effort to be able to have the shop of your dreams. Now clean up that floor!!! 🤣😂🤣
Nice shop. I'm not far from you and was fortunate to find someone selling 2.75" thick foam board that came off a roof at Marathon. Got enough to do a 30x48 pole barn for a few hundred dollars.
just built a metal building 40x60 which we hired out...in our late 60's ...not as much we do ourselves in these trades anymore Cost 5 times your cost with posh epoxy floor and lift pads but no lift yet. Insulated with vinyl bags full of pink insulation. We also installed 11 6x3 windows to enjoy the light and the views of the farm. 2 larger 10 x 12 doors with power operators and remote controls. Finally 3 large LED lamps make the place like daylight even at night. Bigger budget so more toys.
Thanks for this info Lucas, I plan on building my garage in the near future ( probably 30x24), not sure if I will go traditional or pole barn, and this gives me a good idea of cost.
Thank you for your great videos. That garage wouldn't be allowed in Massachusetts, unfortunately. To build something that size would cost me over 150,000. Enjoy your great garage.
Did you put the post in the ground or did you put a galvanized metal bracket on top of the concrete and then bolt in your post? There is a big difference between a pole barn and a post frame constructed building. One last for about 40 years and the other last generations.
I'm on my third replacement of Barrina lights over ~3 years. I will say that Barrina has sent replacements under warranty, but at this point I pretty much always have a few burned out. My plan is to replace them with just LED strip lights hooked up to some power supplies in the future.
@@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead I had hoped that the first batch I got was just a bad batch, but when the replacements started failing I lost hope. I currently have 4 out of 12 burned out, I purchased them in Feb 2020, so 3 years, I think all of them have failed at least once. But, barrina did stand behind them and send replacements.
They may have some bad and some good models. I've had one set for about 3 years that are now in my girlfriend's metal foundry shop and all 12 work fine. I have another 15 in my shop that are about a year old and also fine. All of them have been infrequently exposed to high humidity and temps between 20 and 150 degrees F. Haven't had a single one fail. All two bulb units with 120v plugs and wrap around housings.
Killer breakdown. Thanks! When I do one of these it's going to have a lift AND it needs a storage loft over one of the garage spaces. Did you consider doing on eof these to recapture some of that open-air ceiling space? Anything major to think about from a kit-buying standpoint?
A bit surprised you were nervous of a lift but went with that Triumph after all that concrete work. I went with Bendpak in the end but looked at those Triumphs for months.
@@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead that’s great to hear! When I was looking at them in in 2019 they could be had for $1800! I really wanted to do it but I got the BendPak Grandprix for $2300. The price is ridiculous now.
Automotive lifts are required to be able to safely operate picking up 25% more than they are actually rated. So to get an 11,000 lb capacity rating requires actual lifting capacity of 13,750 lbs. (7,000 lb rated: will lift 8,750 lbs; 9,000 rated: will lift 11,250 lbs) I have installed hundreds of lifts of all types. Rotary, Challenger, Gilbarco, Ben Pearson, etc. 4 inches of reinforced concrete, ¾" anchor bolts, holes drilled all the way through, never had an issue.
I at 20k for just the structure, no concrete or anything for a structure that's about the same size here in CA. It does have to withstand 100mph winds and the occasional earthquake but it comes with professional installation. The concrete was poured a couple of weeks ago still waiting on install.
Do you have a video on your annual income and how you finance the land you live in? I'm interested in how I should go about acquiring land with my 60k annual salary.
Yeah we are on the other end of the state. Near Ashland. I believe the lumber comes out of Indiana though. You might search for a Metal Supplier that uses Graber Post Company. That is where ours came from.
You're getting really good deals. 150 bucks for hard creek rock? I just signed an order today for limestone screenings for 225 (with tax) delivered for 14 ton. But creek rock around here would be round stone. Not good for under concrete I would think because it can't really be compacted. It just likes to roll. Correct me if I'm wrong.
You may be right depending on the mix, but this stuff has a mix size that really made it pack well. Then we went over that with limestone crusher run and it made a great base. I’ve been using the creek rock for driveway base under limestone and it works really well!
@@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead I'd like some of that rock over limestone. Here, the limestone when dry acts like concrete but when wet is just a sticky mess. I'm going to spread some limestone this afternoon and wet it down and try to pack it.
Never did a epoxy floor... we always sweep with a broom ... it makes a nice a non slip floor, not a "finish" you see allot but my dad did it and it worked for 40 years for him so I did it... it makes clean up a mother but its what i know lol...
I wouldn't want spray on insulation. If you want to make changes later add windows do electrical work fix the building it's just a nightmare. Regular insulation you just pull it down and reuse it.
Im having a 24x36x15 with an 8x24 loft and 2500 sqft of total concrete being poured the total price is $49,000. I generally build things myself but given the location and size of everything I decided it wasn't worth my attempt because it would take so long to complete.
That seems like a pretty good price really. I’m like you, I don’t think I could build any higher than 12’. You’ll have a great building when that is complete!
$750 total for wiring?i either call BS or something fishy going on.a 125ft roll of 6-3 wiring in itself costs $500-600 in WI. as of last year.10-3 wiring would still be around $250 for 125ft.. for welding.that was 5 years ago when i built my shop and did all the wring myself.either stuff in really cheap in KY or ? I guess i will compliment you on being resourceful its that good stuff aint cheap and cheap stuff aint good.more power to you but not even close to the way I like things but to each his own i guess....
Put another $150 with it, leave out the lift. 10’ not 12’ H. And I could build one here in California. It would take a year to get the permit. Also another $100k for fees and sprinkler system and government whoopee tax. 😢
This is such a cheap way to build, in Sweden we do the concrete foundation waaaay thicker than you, deep corners! Wood straight down in the earth will just rot within 10 years. Big no. You need to have drainage around the building so water will always push away from the foundation. No wonder your houses collapse when a tornado hit I’m in shock by your building standards.
Well this isn't Sweden it's the US and Kentucky. Treated beems last way longer than 10 years. I have some in the ground ground for 20 years and they are still solid. Plus we have tornados that can rip up concrete and asphalt off a highway so the building would be gone anyway wouldn't it.
Don’t do your own concrete!!! My footers in my garage are over 4/5 feet deep! High and low spots always occur. Cost in CA are ridiculous no apples to apples plus metal has no insulation factor better to stick build!
Oh I would absolutely do my own concrete again! The imperfections are minor compared to the savings of $6-8k. Now that the floor is in use we don’t notice a thing. Also, you can insulate a post frame building just the same as a stick built building. Everybody has to weigh their own factors though. No worries. 🤷🏼♂️
$22,500 was the total for everything and just for concrete and frame was $11,300 not a bad set up
That's amazing!!! Gives me hope for my project, mines a lot smaller (trying to create enough space for a 21ft Winnebago and all of my tools lol), but I had budgeted 30k. (I'm in Indiana). Thanks so much for the tips, I'm absolutely going to follow your advice!
Outstanding
Keep in mind that he doesn't add the labor cost. Here, the labor will be easy another $20,000
Did he buy the land or was it just the build? I jus wanna cut to the chase
Thanks for sharing this info. Awesome garage!

I like your logic and your process. A really nice building that will serve you well for years. Nice job Lucas. 👍👍
Thanks, Chris! I appreciate it.
Now I just need to find a large property to build a similar dream garage. :) Thanks for sharing your experience!
great info! I"m looking to build a shop for my business and this first hand experience is priceless. thanks!
Im planning the Same do you plan on doing it on private property or comercial ?
Thisis excellent. We learn from our mistakes. Fabulous vids on this build.
Thank you!
Thanks for the video! I’m starting a 28x36x10 now. Southern Indiana here.
Awesome! I grew up in Bloomington. Are you going with Graber Post?
Great job sir. Sweat equity provides so much satisfaction for you and your family. I hope you all enjoy your shop for many years.
Thank you!
WOW!!! What an awesome deal!! Thanks for sharing all of your tips and sources to help save money on the build! ~Christy~
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
You did real good on the price, very nice garage. Another great video!👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks, Bud! We are pleased with it for sure!
Appreciate this helpful video! You might try getting some floor leveler for the low spots if they bother you.
Thanks for the video. I'm about to build a 30x40 with a lift myself and this helps.
Awesome! Good luck! 👊
Man Lucas you saved so much money on the shop by putting in the hard work. 😁👍Great job!!!🚜💨Merry Christmas!!!🎄
Thanks, Mitch! Hope you and your family have wonderful holidays! 👊
That’s a great deal for the size shop, you saved a lot of 💵 by doing the work yourself with Cameron👍🏻. Have a great weekend Lucas 🙂🙋🏼♂️👍🏻

good video. I was looking at building a 30X40 but I just might go with 28X36.
I’m very happy with ours. Sure bigger would be nice, but this works well for three bays and plenty deep enough for mechanic work.
Wow I love it
Great information my friend, you did a great job, do you have a video putting everything together?
I have a Timelapse as well as an entire series showing each part of the build. Check out my Playlists for “Pole Barn Build”

Cool. You probably live close to my area. I live close to Wurtland. Nice building.
Sure do! I actually lived right next to Wurtland Elementary for several years. I built that little garage right next to 23.
Killer breakdown. Thanks! When I do one of these it's going to have a lift AND it needs a storage loft over one of the garage spaces. Did you consider doing on eof these to recapture some of that open-air ceiling space? Anything major to think about from a kit-buying standpoint?
I have thought about some loft type storage. I might add it one day. As far as the kit, my metal supply place made it effortless. 👊
I know for a fact.. my new f350 weights 8400 with 2 men sitting it .. your good to go with 11k lift, nice shop brother.
Thank you!
A bit surprised you were nervous of a lift but went with that Triumph after all that concrete work. I went with Bendpak in the end but looked at those Triumphs for months.
I went with the 11k and it seems as solid as could be. We use it a lot and haven’t had any issues. If budget allowed, I would love a Bendpak for sure.

Did the kit you bought include your trusses, or was that separate?
Trusses were included. It really was pretty much everything but doors.
Where are you in Kentucky? We are in Henderson! Looking for a kit now to build a garage!!
Yeah we are on the other end of the state. Near Ashland. I believe the lumber comes out of Indiana though. You might search for a Metal Supplier that uses Graber Post Company. That is where ours came from.
Would you share your plans?
I see you are a man of taste. SUBARU WRC CARS!
That’s hard to beat
Have you seen prices come down any? Looking to do something similar near Knoxville
I believe prices are better than when they were at their worst. I don’t know if they are back down to what they were when I ordered mine…
Good deal. I’m in Ky too?. Care to send me selling info where you got your doors?

No, that wasn’t in the budget this time.
👍🏼
Did you have it inspected along the way? Are there any fees associated with this building
No, no zoning or restrictions in my area.
Never did a epoxy floor... we always sweep with a broom ... it makes a nice a non slip floor, not a "finish" you see allot but my dad did it and it worked for 40 years for him so I did it... it makes clean up a mother but its what i know lol...

Great can you post the links to the company that did your building
The materials came from Graber Post:

How does the building breath without soffits? Condensation problems?
All of the ribs are open under that trim. No issues with ventilation…👍

Heated slab would not have cost all that much. At least start with installing the tubing and get the mechanicals later.
Yes, this should have happened. I regret that.

Keep in mind that he doesn't add the labor cost. Here, the labor will be easy another $20,000, plus the tools and equipment you need to doit
That’s true, but it was also the point. We did it all ourselves so I’m sharing what you can save if you can DIY the build. 👍

This is such a cheap way to build, in Sweden we do the concrete foundation waaaay thicker than you, deep corners! Wood straight down in the earth will just rot within 10 years. Big no.
