32x44 Pole Barn Detached Garage Build - Interior Finish Work

[@johnurech9643]

As a concrete guy,I use a sealer called Diamon clear. It's about $200.00 for a 5 gallon bucket but it's plenty for what you got, don't forget to do the outside slabs as well. Nice job on the interior! I am going on year 5 and just got done pouring my 36x36 pole barn!!!!

Backlighting the metal logo would look great!

[@mikewolfe9458]

Congrats man, it’s looking great!

[@Garagetopics]

Thanks a bunch!

[@kred3208]

so I have both those toolboxes, in black. My 42+top and I have the side drawers also another 5 roll away's various sizes and colors. Love your garage wish you had my origination skills.

[@workingmansrestorations7071]

Looking awsome. I like the racking, cabinets look good.

[@johnurech9643]

Also seal your saw cuts. Go to Home depot and get Sikaflex floor cauk,it keeps all the debris from getting in the cracks. Good luck

Thank you for the informative videos brother, I've looked up so many ideas, pictures, videos, drove around the area looking at different ideas for my project doing the same. This is perfect man amazing work by the crews, and great choice in all you've done.

[@Garagetopics]

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it! It's been a labor of love for sure

[@skillitmade]

@Garage Topics of course man, I'm watching a few other vids right now on the GT channel. Great stuff man. 👏 Any idea roughly on how much it took for the garage overall?

[@Garagetopics]

I'll be making a video about that exact number real soon 😎

[@skillitmade]

@Garage Topics good stuff, I'll be waiting for the Crusti final reveal and rundown as well. You said avoid redoing the timing on it, I'd assume your replacing HG's as well while in the process?

[@OhYeahAboutThat]

Looking great!!!!!

[@Garagetopics]

Thanks!!

Great overview of your garage. Bummer on the sealer peeling. I went back and forth on whether to seal mine and decided it seemed to be more upkeep and hassle in a garage I work in. If I just stored things that would be different I think. Looks like you went with scissor trusses to gain some height too which looks awesome. You might be able to fit a small loft in there to add even more storage space on the one side. I’m working on that myself right now.

[@Garagetopics]

Thanks! If you notice the tall wall the opposite of the garage topics sign has a bunch of outlets up top. This was done with future plans of a loft over that side roughly 9ft wide 32ft deep

I wouldn’t recommend the DIY epoxy floor kits, unless they’ve gotten 100x better (and cheaper) in the last 10 years. My floor looked great for 2-3 years and then started looking shabby. The exposed section outside the door yellowed in the sun and various small patches lifted. Not good given the effort and expense involved. Your garage is looking amazing! Really looking forward to your lighting video, learning how many lumens/sqft etc.

[@allenmeinhold7038]

That floor sealer was probably sprayed on by the cement finisher who poured the floor,It's purpose is to seal the floor so the concrete cures slowly for optimal psi strength,it will slowly dissolve with time.

What color is that wood stain? Love it

[@merbesfield]

Can you discuss the garage doors? As well as your layout decisions?

[@Garagetopics]

Yes I sure can! I'll have several more videos out soon (waiting on a new computer to edit all the episodes I have filmed)

[@patlarentz6500]

I absolutely love the wood trim! Looks amazing! Just wondering if perlins (nailer boards) were used to attach the tin & the T 111? Or how it was fastened. Again, looks great!👌

[@Garagetopics]

Thanks! Screws for both to "bookcase girts" every 4 feet. I didn't bother using putty to cover the wood screws, just painted over them. The white metal uses white metal screws every 4ft. Because of the 4ft gap I was hesitant to use drywall and am glad I didn't

[@jimgreen964]

Did you design it all yourself or use a designer or architect? It looks very Barndominium-ish, which I think is great.

[@Garagetopics]

Thanks! All myself, 70% knew what I was doing 30% winged it based on new Intel. For example the original plan was to drywall the entire interior and that did not make sense after I did deeper research

[@jamesworkman3948]

I’m doing a similar build how much does it cost to run the mini splits every month?

[@Garagetopics]

In the summer I'd guess around $60. In the winter it's closer to $120

[@jamesworkman3948]

Thanks for the comment back. And that pretty much maintaining the temperature year-round or only on when you’re out in the shop.

[@Garagetopics]

I'd say 80% year round. I've just converted a portion of the garage into my office, so I will be keeping it climate controlled 100% of the time moving forward

[@Kitnkaboodle_64]

What HVAC system do you have?

[@Garagetopics]

Two 18k Senville mini splits. I have the link for them in the description. They work great! Gamechanger for making this garage easy to be in year round

[@jlewisg3563]

Cost breakdown?

[@jackjack4412]

Over $100K

[@Garagetopics]

It's actually decently less than this

[@puppygadget3189]

What company made the building ?

[@Garagetopics]

A local crew built this, and the materials were from a local lumber supply and a barn metal store (bluegrass metals)
