- I crammed the complete build of my Shop structure into 14 minutes. This was a 6 month project and I've never built one before in my life. So follow along as I stumble my way through.
This is from the dirt work to having concrete and a nice shell to build out. I had to level out a nearly 12 ft. elevation change from end to end.
The building is a 30'x48' with 16' walls.
I designed and ordered the building on Menards website. 6" Posts mounted to concrete tube footings. 12'x12' Garage door. 6.5" Concrete Slab.
I will be building out a mezzanine with an office and bathroom. Electrical and spray foam is next up. Then we can build some Land Rovers in there.
Here is the link to the playlist of all the shop build videos is you are interested in watching it more in depth.

I don't know why but its fun and satesfying to look at someone build something.
It is entertaining isn’t it? I’ve spent many hours watching others work haha.
The end result looks great. I kind of envy you that garage. It is cold and dark to work on cars outside where i live, above the arctic circle. :O
I don’t envy that at all. I’m never in too much of a good mood during the 3 or so months of what I would call bitter cold.
Next year when this is heated and insulated I may be in a little better mood.
I watched all the build vids.. but still had to watch the compilation. You couldn't have done it without Sasha :) Chuffed you've got an awesome space for Landies
Sasha was the glue that held this project together haha.
It was kind of fun to put the whole thing down into one quick video. Appreciate you following along!
...and I am in exactly the same spot, busy building a shop at home to put all my Land Rovers in..but I did make it as big as I can afford...you have a new subscriber!
That’s awesome! You definitely need a space for repairs when you own a few Land Rovers haha.
How about a video of the cost of everything? I was thinking about putting up a building on my land in the future as well as like a shop for me to work on my equipment and stuff. I was looking into getting an all steel building put up. So I’m curious of the cost break down of a post and beam construction.
I just put one up of that last week. So if you go to my latest video that breaks down everything to where it sits now, which is a little bit further along then this video.
strong work, I love watching your videos. I have a 2012 LR4.
But in general what has been your cost breakdown for this building. I know if varies a lot on location etc, but in general what have you spent so far.
I plan on totaling it up soon now that the electrical is just about done. But I’d guess I’m right around the 40k mark now. Hoping for 55ish all in when it’s insulated and finished out.
What was total cost for that building. What’s the specs?
Phase one check, Before snow check, Now for phase two
Phase 2. Take a break. Check. Haha. No working on the electrical layout now.
Curious why this method instead of starting with a slab?
We’ll never know
A couple reasons.
Post frame stuff is fairly common on ag/rural buildings, at least around here.
If I would have went with a traditional slab with foundation I would have had to go 48” deep for my climate. My land is pretty much limestone, the back half of the shop is pretty close to being on limestone, would have made the foundation end more difficult. I ended up having to jackhammer a few of the post pier holes to get the 48” depth.
I could have done a floating/alaskan slab but with the hills everywhere here and the climate I was just more comfortable having something in the ground below frost.
The second reason, cost and timeline. The post frame building packages I was looking at used materials more efficiently, or less of them and made the 16’ sidewall easier.
The big benefit was being able to spread the cost. I cashflowed the build, so being able to buy the building materials and get that up was nice before I had to pay for the concrete and finishing. If I would have done the slab and built off that I would have had a slab sitting there a couple months waiting for more money haha. But the order I did it I was able to pay for the building materials and spend those couple months building that while saving the money for the concrete and finishing.
I was in a bit of a time crunch to have something up to store some things. In an ideal world I would have set the building back into the hill with a concrete wall on the backside up against the hill. But this was during Covid and everyone around here capable of that was 18 months out.
Sorry for the long winded reply, hope that shed some light. Feel free to ask anything if you want some more clarification.
All in all I’m super happy with how it all turned out and it’s been useful as all get out. It quite a bit more built out now. I’ll do another update this fall sometime.
@@LostCauseRanch Yep, thanks for clarifying. Good to understand why this method might make sense over a slab.
@@sb-nyc The typical way you would go about the post frame/pole building would be to sink the poles themselves 4 ft into the ground, similar to fence posts.
I chose to pour concrete piers instead. And made brackets for the poles to bolt to. The brackets were epoxy anchored to the concrete piers. This kept the poles out of the ground which should help with rot over time.
Sweet looking building, bro. Michigan?
You were close from just eyeballing, but Iowa.
Why didn’t you do radiant floors?
I didn’t do the in floor heat because I wasn’t exactly sure where the lifts and mezzanine were going to go. So I would have had to deal with not hitting any tubes in the future.
This will probably be about a 5-7 year solution shop ultimately so the cost of the tubes, and mainly the boiler and control setup didn’t pencil out.
I eventually will buy a larger plot of land and be building a shouse. That will definitely get in floor heat.
What’s that heater that you had in the middle of the shop??
It’s a Dyna-Glo convection kerosene heater. Doesn’t require electricity so that’s why I used that. Just wanted to keep the inside temp above freezing while the concrete cured.
@@LostCauseRanch I like how you reply to most of your questions. Even a year later
@@kyeimwebley3266 I try to get to as many as I can. Some get lost through the cracks.
If people are investing the time to ask something, I’ll try to help if I can.
you have not roof foil. when steel roof is cold, on steel have water.
in your location didnt snow?
Did you kick yourself after you realized that it's too small, and think wait if only it was one yard bigger on all sides? Just curious what do you think? Looks excellent, I wish I could have a mancave that size. Please don't reply saying size doesn't matter LOL 🤣.
Man it is too small haha. But I went as big as I feasibly could in that space without getting crazy expensive on pouring walls. I actually pulled a permit for a 32’x48’ but had to give up 2’ to make it all work. Someday if I find some money I’ll build a bigger one on top the hill. But the road up there would probably cost as much as the shop haha.
But no, I’m happy to have it. It’s all insulated and in use now. I appreciate the kind words, it was a fun thing to build.
Как вы его будете отапливать? У вас зимой холодно? Привет из Сибири 👍
I'm still undecided on the heat. We do get somewhat cold in the winter. I'm going to have a mini split heat pump/ac unit and may move a pellet stove in for additional heating or a radiant tube heater. I'm all electric at the house with no gas to the property so if I do the radiant tube I would have to get a propane tank here.
Хорошо, у нас зимой может быть - 63° F😂 . Газа у нас нету, но киловатт электричества 0.01$.
Why not do the floor first? That way you would not need to pour footers?
Floor is typically poured afterwards. But for me it was a couple reasons. I cash flowed the shop build, so it worked out better for me to spend the money on the building and steel during the summer to get that all framed up before the snow flew. Then the concrete pour was in a more controlled setting with a roof and walls up. Kept the temp inside regulated along with not having to worry about rain. Plus it gave me the couple months I spent framing the building to come up with the concrete money haha.
I was in a bit of a time constraint from selling my commercial shop and needing a place for some of that to go. Otherwise I probably would have poured a rear wall and set the building against the hill. But this was right in the middle of the pandemic and anyone capable of the wall pour was scheduled a year plus out.
Wow man , it just looks so simple.... What a great job you and your team did !!!!! Congrats !!!! By the way which is the cost of this building, just curious. Many thanks !!
The building framing and steel was $21k from Menards at the time. I had about $9k into the concrete with rebar and foam.
As of right now, I have it wired up, insulated, mezzanine and plumbing ran to the building. I'm probably in the neighborhood of $50k. I'll do another updated video here in the near future and plan on breaking down the cost of it as well.
If only I could build a shed quicker than I shag.😆
And Ladies...I wouldn't sped 25 minutes turning on a Land Rover, nevermind you😂
Haha. Too funny.
how far are your post from each other???
Roughly 8 ft. The distance between the end ones vary a little to make the 48' overall dimension.
Terrible door header
It’s not carry any weight it’ll be fine 😂
It's what the building plan called for. I'm all for learning, what would be your suggestion on it?
It seems two 1.75" LVL's seem pretty standard for the 12' span. Although spacing them did seem a little different to me, but I imagine that was for the "post" that holds the truss centered on the door opening since that dropped in between the two LVL's.
I guess it’s a good thing you commented this seeing as he didn’t know that
I bet that took a good 100 grand at least
I’ll do another update sometime on it now that it’s a little further along. It has insulation, mezzanine and some other stuff now.
But I’m guessing I’m in the $60,000 range at this point doing it all myself. I was getting quotes of $150k to have someone build it (without the mezzanine) when I started planning out the project.
