Someone ask what I was putting in the barn; well here's some of it. My enclosed snow machine trailer is supposed to go where the small flat bed trailer and 4 wheelers are. It will when I get a shorter trailer. (less tall) I'll rearrange the crowded corner later on. Last fall I was trying to beat a storm that was coming and I was just getting stuff inside as quick as I could.
I took the last picture to show how much light the translucent panels let in. There are no lights on anywhere for the picture.

Why do some of these pics look like a commercial for whatever you put in front of it?

Those panels really do let in a lot of light!!! I'm torn between doing something similar, and wanting to max out the insulation I put in the building, when I build mine. I love the look of your building too.

Thanks Eddie,

If good insulation is your goal these panels might not be the best way to go. I would put in actual windows that you can insulate up next too.
If I ever insulate and heat this barn it will be with a used oil heater so leaking lots of heat out of these panels won't be such a big deal.

Insulation could also be put above the trusses bottom cord letting the top breath. That would not affect the trusses even if there were 0 dead weight on the bottom cord. It could be the typical bubble wrap insulation if you ever wanted to heat. I think the bubble wrap is used under the roof panels to help with sweating issues as temp. changes.

HOWEVER - I would not heat. Having a place to work that is heated is the best way to go because of the cost of heating the whole area. I was thinking the cost of the floor must have been $10K-$12K. Looks great.

If I insulate I would foam the whole thing.
The floor concrete was more than double what you thought. :mad:

I didn't think that. But I guess everything I think costs more than double what I thought they thought. I also never thought of foam. That is much better. Thanks.

His floor is 6,720 square feet. Poured 5" deep is 102 cubic yards of concrete. If it's $120 p/yard the concrete alone is $12,240.

So if he paid $24,000 he did good. That would be $3.57 per square foot. That's actually not bad at all.
