Nice shop and thanks for the honest cost.👍

[@CrustyCycle9317]

Thanks for the feedback and watching.

[@Dirkdigglee2112]

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.

[@lylewhite8869]

nice walk through and explanation of everything.

[@CrustyCycle9317]

Thank you

[@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 👍

[@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.

[@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.

[@rooster5755]

thats a little high for what you got but not totally insane.I built my 44x36x12 stick built shop 4yrs ago now.Im located in WI,not super expensive but not cheap in any way.I got about $100k into mine all done.i did all the inside myself other than hang the steel.I have in floor heat,a trench drain the length of the shop,a bathroom and a mechanical room.have 2 doors with openers,5 windows,25 4ft led lights,etc..I love my shop and am in it almost every day doing something.Im a mechanic by trade so i also have my own hoist with a full assortment of hand and shop tools.i can do almost anything in our out of my shop.good stuff and good luck on the finished product.just takes time and money,lol

[@CrustyCycle9317]

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, I'm definitely going to be at around 125k all done. I'm wiring now and have the bathroom framed in, lighting to follow. I'm looking forward to being where you're at with your building.

[@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.

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

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

[@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.

[@PageMarker1]

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

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?

[@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. 🤣

[@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.

[@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?

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!

[@keytothegate68]

To me 125K is on the high side it should include interior paneling and a concrete driveway and all lights finished, garage door openers and probably HVAC for that much or less because you did some work yourself and it should have been turn key job all warranted. Check on that moisture on your new slab. If any problems they could say , we don't know anything about that he did the grading himself..I hope everything is OK with that . Thanks for posting. Yes all the other ones are hiding how much they paid and never answer such question if you ask.

[@CrustyCycle9317]

I wish I could have negotiated all the finish work with the building construction because I'm still working on all that. At the time, it was difficult to even find a post frame contractor (supply chain, demand etc) and you definitely want one that specializes in that type of construction. That being said, at least here, the builders just want to erect the structure, get paid, and move on to the next job. So, make your best deal, get your shop built, and don't look back. Regardless of cost, you won't regret it. It's just money, we'll make more... And yeah, my slab is not the best. They used that fiber reinforced stuff. Steel reinforce no matter what.

[@jpdunamislodge]

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.
