Pole Barn 40x64x15 New in 2012

[savageayape]

Thanks to all the pole barn posts on this site, I was able to finally decide what I wanted to build. I hired Graber Post Buildings to put in the poles, trusses, Metal roof and pour the concrete slab. I did all the rest. The siding is rough 1x8 oak over taped r-board. I also included a 605 sq ft living area, although I'm still working on it. I've never taken on a project this size before. I learned to install electrical wiring by reading books... The concrete floor is stained and sealed (beautiful!). The garage doors are 13' tall by 16' wide. I even installed the meter base and shut offs, and installed the service entrance wire. Well, if anyone has any questions, just ask, otherwise I hope you enjoy the photographs.

is insurance a problem with DIY electrical and a living area?

What type of sleeve are the posts set in where they go into the ground?

My barn is only 12' high, you will be glad you went higher.

That's awesome! I wish we had the space for such a large building.

That is beautiful. I assume it is a hunting/recreation property. Where is it located? How many acres? Did you build the pond? I'm sure it is very satisfying considering you did most of the work. Very nice indeed.
