I am in the process of designing a new horse barn/shop. Right now I have it designed to be 35'x90'. There will be 6 horse stalls in one half and a 35'x40' shop on the other. Plenty of room for the animals and the farm equipment.
I will build the entire project by myself and I am trying to get a good estimate. I have figured that I will need about 65 yds of concrete for the floor (6" thick slab and a small turn down at the edges to support the outer walls. This will be a pole barn so I wont need any footings. My question to start... does anyone have any idea what the cost comparison is between having the concrete delivered and getting the ingredients (Cement, Gravel and Sand) delivered and mixing it myself?
I will post my plans when I have them done.
Here are a couple pictures of our property prior to the new construction project.
