I was close ………………. I guessed about $ 75,000 . LoL 😂

I googled Soylent and it says this product was found to contain lead & cadmium in California. Hard pass.

On the other end of the spectrum I built a 22x38' hanger last year on my grass strip. Wood beam construction, local logs milled on my saw mill. Metal panels for roof and doors are new steel, wall steel were reused panels and free. Four section vertical hinged manual doors. No insulation. Used carpet over the dirt floor. NO building codes or permits here. Used my backhoe for site prep and with a pallet fork attachment and a pallet as work platform. Total cost ~$3600. BUT your hanger/shop is very cool !!

[@markmuir7338]

Sounds like your hangar is very cool too, especially with no insulation. Kudos though for the accomplishment

[@flytoday]

Not a status symbol though, you won't be bragging about blowing $277k a decade from now

[@marttimattila9561]

Mine 15 by 8 meters equals that price altho I made a Steel frame because I had the Steel surplus. I will have insulation hopefully and the price will go 5000 Euro.

[@ramillerusa]

No visits from OSHA.....PRICELESS!!

[@rixtrix11]

Sounds great! Did you get the idea for the carpet from Jonas Marcinko?

[@charlesmartin1121]

You should deduct the costs of keeping your aircraft at Reno-Stead Airport and the associated transport costs from the build total. It might make you feel a little better about the whole thing.

[@Cmoredebris]

You could rent and drive for a long time on $277k. What makes you feel good is convenience and pride of ownership. Trent might also be able to claim tax deductions on the hangar since he uses aircraft for business.

[@UncleKennysPlace]

@@CmoredebrisThe value of time is rather hard to put a price on. If the round trip to the airport is an hour and you fly 100 times a year, you are that far ahead.

[@Cmoredebris]

@@UncleKennysPlace 100 flights or 100 round trips to the Reno-Stead airport from Trent's house: That would be 80 hours of driving. Value of Trent's time, say $100. Rent at $500/mo. Gasoline $3.75. MPG of 20. Wear and tear plus insurance $3/mile. For $277,000, Trent could have continued to fly out of Reno-Stead for 11 years 8 months. If Trent invests the $277,000 at 5% then he could have continued to fly out of Reno-Stead for 29 years. From strictly a money calculation, the hangar is not a good investment. However, there are so many other variables, that in time, the hangar will be a great investment.

[@rixtrix11]

@@Cmoredebris true. However, convenience is cheap along with all the other uses a building that size offers. My 768 sq ft backyard shop for $45k raised our home valuation by $130K! The shop is less than 30 steps from our home vs time spent driving a couple of miles to a rented building to get the 1 tool I need in the house right now.

[@oldeyeball]

Also, I am sure this has increased the value of your property!

Thank you Trent. Genuinely appreciate your honesty and openness. Content like this inspires other aviators to follow their dreams, too.

[@goatflieg]

I know the pain far too well. We built our NorCal Compound; really loved it; way over budget; eventually unsustainable; sold it. Moved to Michigan; built a shop to build my RV-8; built the RV-8; flew the RV-8; WAY over budget; not sustainable long-term; just sold it. I hope you guys can enjoy your lives on your dream property for far longer than we were able to enjoy our dreams. But the bottom line for all of is that WE DID IT! And that, my friend, is what life is about.

I’ve tried building a website with Soylent, but there wasn’t much substance to it. Nothing a bit of SEO couldn’t fix though.

[@TrentonPalmer]

🤣

[@sledawgpilot]

Soylent Green? People?

[@dialac1]

Bro, thanks so much for the numbers. A lot of channels on youtube show us building process for a lot of things but they never drop the numbers. This was a helpful and informative video. I was also thinking it would cost $200k and not $277k. If you hired an electrician for the wiring, it would have been close to or over $300k total

[@p38sheep]

Thanks for your transparency on this! I had been wondering through the whole build process how much approximately each step cost. And you told a bunch of strangers on the internet! Thank you again your a pretty rad dude.

[@storytimedavidcollins2897]

Trent Permits are very important. Thank you very much again for everything. I purchased a pre made storage barn 30’ x 16’ and 14’ tall, and I completely permitted it, it took a year and half from ordering it to getting completely signed off which took a year to get the county inspectors to finally sign it off. And the last County inspector told me that he had no less than a thousand complaints from people that would call several times a day about it, saying that I was putting in an unpermitted building, business, grow or drug laboratory and so on, lots of jealous haters out there. I’m very happy for you and your family that you don’t have to rent a hanger anymore, with the best part being that you can fly right from your house and back to make your ability to put out the excellent great quality videos that you do that we all appreciate so much.

[@Vlodek9]

Damn!!! I knew it would be expensive but... DAMN!!! I too thought it would be in the area of $120~$150 but... DAMN!! So yeah, as I followed your videos on this I already anticipated that my dream workshop is not obtainable, at least on a scale like yours. Few weeks/months ago, I decided that instead of a "hanger" type workshop, I will settle on a 4 car garage (wide with regular garage doors) but 2 cars deep. And honestly, after hearing your price tag, I'm now doubting if I will be able to afford that. Can anyone make sense of these prices?? It is literally a box with a hollow inside. Yet it cost more than an actual house. Well, at least you are done and you are happy. Good for you!!!! Congratulations!!! I'm jellin.

[@dannyfowler7055]

Thank you for your honesty! I know that stings for any of us, but let’s everyone know exactly how expensive these projects can be. Beautiful Job!!!

Super nice, Mine is 60' x 60'. The backside has a full lean to off of it like yours. Also mine we used round pipe in the ceiling for a structural load, I have a friend of mine that will land his R44 on the roof. I have enough room in there to park my highlander along with two cab tractors and my small dozer. They hang her door is I believe 38 feet wide I pretty much made it myself it has two large hydraulic cylinders on each end that actually came off of a huge 644 John Deere industrial loader attached to a 35 gallon per minute electric hydraulic pump, that's ran remote control off of a key fob, the concrete slab is 80 x 120, but there is no asphalt in the front just grass. Built in 2012, and it was all custom built by me and a local contractor there was no kit to it Total cost for the building and everything pretty much as you said although we don't have any permit processes here to waste money on a built it for a little under $42,000. Which most of that cost was just the steel and the concrete

Shows glide path to runway after engine failure, shows where are wake turbulence. I would love to heard opinion about that solution from pilot.

[@GlennSisson]

Thanks Trent. You do have a dream hangar and dream property there. I guess I don't feel so bad now knowing that my insulated vaulted ceiling 36x26 garage/shop here in northern California (completed last August for my 7STi build) ended up at about $110k. I was originally expecting less than $50k. Thanks again Trent.

I would also Iike to see a cost break down of hangar fees, traveling and most important your time in hourly rate to travel to the old hangar and back. Use your hourly rate you charge for drone footage

[@wb6anp]

Look up Lhetos law hs just did a video on a person wanting to build near Tahoe, their permit fee was &23000.00

[@alanswanson1952]

Thanks for being upfront about the actual cost. The only thing I disagree with and everyone seems to do it is the outdoor shaded section. It wasn't both roof and concrete that could have gavle and wood frame roof. You could of closed that in for just a little more. Could have been an office and machine shop separated from the hanger.. still very nice build congratulations.

I need to comment also --- Trent --- it really goes by without comment --- you and your wife are sooo happy...and seeing what you guys have done with the place overall --- It's really a surreal seeing your vision and what you guys have accomplished!!

[@jeffswartwood7316]

Great video. I also have a house and hangar on an airpark with a climate controlled 4000sf hangar with full bathroom, one hangar door and three oversized garage doors using traditional home construction the same as the house. When the banks or insurance companies come out to appraise the property they like to label the hangar an “out building” and appraise it for $25,000 or similar. This awareness of the cost to build a hangar is needed. Thanks for a well produced video laying out the various costs associated with building a hangar. You did a lot of the work yourself. I think the average Joe could expect to pay a good bit more for a similar project if he just used contractors.

That’s the hangar MY dreams too, Trent. Enjoy the fruits of your labor, bro! And never apologize.

[@whathasxgottodowithit3919.]

A good rule of thumb for build costs will be 3 X the estimate, and some. And you will still be over budget. just the way it is. It is even worse if you are building a Nuclear Power Plant :-) I have to say though your dream shop does look amazing, and you wont lose money with that property.

[@grandsea2]

Awesome build...just curious...hiw many planes could tight pack in there if you had some friends up for a weekend and those lovely popup spring storms role in...now having that capacity seems like it would make being in your business as a Bush Aviation Content Creator this seems like a priceless investment!

haha! way back when we talked about metal buildings I mentioned that it usually costs more than you think its gonna. Always hard to know exactly how much more until you pull the trigger, but damn!!...just your concrete slab was 2x what my slab was, and its almost exactly the same size. Prices have changed. Shop is stellar tho! So worth it!

[@mikegage4933]

The hanger project turned out beautiful and functional! It cost as much as my home ... BUT ... I live in small-town Missouri. We have lots of folks selling property in the far west and moving this direction where they can buy a home and a couple of rental properties with the sale of their home from out west. Such is life. Enjoy landing at your home and saving the drive from Stead!

Included in cost was land, insulated red iron bldg, 200 Amp power with all wiring including 50 AMP RV connection, plumbing, epoxy coated floor, 400 sq ft mezzanine with HVAC'd tool room and full bath below, 2 12' x 14' roll up doors, all electrical, Big Ass 14' fan, and a 10K LB 2 post car lift.

[@rixtrix11]

About died laughing when I saw your sponsor moment. I thought Soylent must be created by a bunch of millenials who didn't back check into that name, OR, a bunch of 'boomers with a fantastic sense of humor! I have to agree with you on the difficulty of cost containment/delays. I have been building a 24x32x12 auto/fabrication workshop in our city home backyard over the last 3 years. Covid cost increases and permitting ate up 2 years before I could start construction. I controlled costs, more or less by doing everything but the slab, 2-post lift, new electrical panel upgrade on our home to 200amp with a 100amp feeder for the shop and roofing on the 8/12 pitch roof. A lot of shopping around on the electrical components helped. Came out to $40k and I still have paint, ceiling drywall and insulation and an 18k mini split to buy before it's complete, so finish will be near $45. Original estimate was $34k, but that was just before Covid on a steel frame metal building. Zoning required a stick frame with a shingles roof. Your hangar turned out to be a fantastic space! Thanks for sharing!

[@rixtrix11]

I guess I was right with the first choice about the product, lol. Dr.Steve Gundry would say "run away... fast!"
