Nice shop and thanks for the honest cost.👍

[@CrustyCycle9317]

Thanks for the feedback and watching.

[@YSLRD]

Beautiful building. Some the regulations are so sad. I live inside city limits in a free state. You made me grateful today.

[@CrustyCycle9317]

Yeah, I had to jump through some hoops around here, but it's done and done. Thanks for commenting 👍

[@apsfst69]

My dream building! Looks amazing!

[@CrustyCycle9317]

I'm glad you liked it. 👍

[@lylewhite8869]

nice walk through and explanation of everything.

[@CrustyCycle9317]

Thank you

That’s about what I’m looking to spend on my 40/60 in Washington state.

[@CrustyCycle9317]

That's realistic, and it's not getting any cheaper

[@gregbohannon9366]

i like the high windows for light and possible ventilation.

[@CrustyCycle9317]

Thanks, they've been great for both, I think it was a good decision.

[@paulleadingham]

Great video with awesome info to help people understand costs and what good looks like.

[@CrustyCycle9317]

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful. I'll probably do one more highlighting the electrical, if I ever finish.

[@troyboyle1226]

Great video - really appreciate the information, man. Straight to the point and honest. I've looked at Jahner recently - I may have to give them a ring. Again, great video!

[@CrustyCycle9317]

I'm glad the video was helpful. A year later, I'm still satisfied with their work. One thing I will say though, if you use fiber reinforced concrete, make sure you put steel in it too.My floor has cracked quite a bit. If you use Jahner, tell them Ward sent you.

[@kennethmanvell879]

Could you do a video on your garage loft? Looking at building this exact setup

[@CrustyCycle9317]

Yes, I've been meaning to do that. The shop is a complete mess, but that video is overdue.

[@FinalFlaaaash]

@@CrustyCycle9317in process of planning mine and could definitely use it

[@octavianbundra5610]

Get that Jeep off that mound of rocks before you damage the undercarriag

[@CrustyCycle9317]

I'm working on that. It's all high centered out though!

[@ProctorSilex]

I guess a pole barn like you have could be had for less elsewhere, but that is still a pretty good price for all that insulated space.

[@CrustyCycle9317]

I think as the price of everything keeps going up, it'll seem like a value, I'm happy.

[@CrustyCycle9317]

Thanks for commenting 👍

[@mrdrey123]

Thank you for sharing. Looking to build something similar in Clark country, WA.

[@CrustyCycle9317]

You're welcome. Thanks for commenting. Don't anyone talk you into using fiber reinforced concrete. A year later, I've never seen concrete crack so bad.

[@Rodzilla-du3pp]

Nice video. I'm in WA and I've been getting insanely high quotes for a 40 x 60 shop. Who built your shop?

[@CrustyCycle9317]

Jahner Built Construction out of Graham, but I think they'll go wherever the work is. Tell them Ward sent ya.

[@brettoberry3586]

Cheeseburger? You need a lift kit on your pink Jeep first... 😆 Seriously though... SWEET shop.

[@CrustyCycle9317]

My wife said she wanted a new Jeep, so I hooked her up. Then, the first thing she does is high center it on a spoil pile. So yeah, it needs a lift kit. 🤣

[@msintern99]

Will you do an update video? In Pierce county looking to build the exact same thing.

[@CrustyCycle9317]

I've been planning on it. The loft is built, working on finish wiring now, at a snails pace.

[@CrustyCycle9317]

I'm going to do that update video soon. Is there something particular you're curious about?

[@msintern99]

Did you do sheeting on the roof? How was the winter with the rainfall? Heating? Insulating? Lighting? Just overall building performance? Anything you wished you had upgraded? @@CrustyCycle9317

[@msintern99]

My design is exactly the same just doors are on the left end, im also looking to build a 12x40 room off the back for my dirty welding/grinding work with a set of double doors that enter the main space.

[@msintern99]

Are your posts 6x6? looks like your horizontal gurts are 2x6?

[@mikemaddy6710]

Nice building. Where’s your soffit though?

[@CrustyCycle9317]

Thanks, just bird blocks for now

[@cminus19]

Where did you get the garage doors? Im in WA as well.

[@CrustyCycle9317]

Jahner Built used their vendor, I don't remember the name.

[@martinneps9387]

What is the height of your walls? I would have done just one door where the Eve is and then I would have did my laugh at the far end of the garage but I would do a. Laugh for like a game room please comment back and let me know.

[@CrustyCycle9317]

17'

[@CrustyCycle9317]

The loft is done, but sorry, I can't seem to attach images to this comment section

[@CarrotDugTooDeep]

Please do another video of the loft. I am looking for some ideas. Thank you for the upload.

[@CrustyCycle9317]

Give me a few days, I'll see what I can do.

[@martinneps9387]

@@CrustyCycle9317 What was the price of this building? I would go with higher walls than 17 I would put a retainer wall. Around it to get me up to 22 feet. That's how high I would want it. Then it is the perfect size

[@Joealexander7861]

I hope they charge you a whole lot of money... Because it's stupid The build something that large and not live in it... And yet you want to call it a shop... Yet you want to call it a garage... Stupid.. stupid.. stupid.. stupid... I hope they charge you a whole lot of money for that.. That way you can see how unwise it was... When a structure of that size is built... It needs to be roughed in and sheetrock and insulation for housing... It should not be nol goddamn shop... I think it's a celebration of stupidity🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉... If you got money to build something that size.. living it... Or have it as a rental property..... Don't build something that large and call it as a shop.. It's just stupid

[@CrustyCycle9317]

Thanks for commenting, I appreciate your opinion. I admit, after it was erected, I thought "why did I build so large a building". Not so much the square footage, but so dang tall. However, the height allowed me to build the loft, to bring in tall equipment, and vehicles. By the way, the loft is stubbed out for use as a dwelling.

You like to complain don’t you?

[@CrustyCycle9317]

Those were somewhat negative but interesting comments.

Those windows were certainly worth the $3000. You also saved a lot by what you did yourself, but at least the cost of the Deere paid for itself in one form or another. That is an investment, not really an expense. The most important thing is that you are happy with what you paid for what you wanted. Hope your little Lady survived that car wreck up on that pile of rocks n mud...)

[@CrustyCycle9317]

Yep, an investment, I think I did okay. Beckie said she wanted a jeep since I built a shop, and the first thing I did was high-center it!

[@PageMarker1]

@@CrustyCycle9317 KZbin also pulled in a few builds after watching this one, no oversized door?? Guess a person could open the garage door, but entrance to your man-cave with a kegger in tow has you one up! Compliance in WA is neither easy nor cheap, as you know full well. Best wishes to you and your family

@PageMarker1 You're right about the door. I appreciate the goodwill, and thanks again for commenting 🙂

Can you share what company you used? I am in Washington as well.

Jahner Built Construction. I'm completely happy with their work. They specialize in post frame buildings.

What is the bike in your profile photo with the number 215? Is it a TX750?

[@CrustyCycle9317]

It was an early 650, and I believe it was a TX, not an XS. Picture was taken at Tacoma Motorcycle Club's "Dino Daze" vintage scrambles and flattrack event 1983.
