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!

[@lawrencem360]

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.

[@stevet8121]

Still probably cheaper than one of Mike Patey's engineered bathrooms.😄

[@rixtrix11]

You have to admit that Mike gets fantastic satisfaction from doing it himself, to the highest standard possible!

[@Jessersadler]

Mikes hangar would have cost half. . . this dude paid way to much for materials.

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@mikie6633]

Seen the commercial you are apart of great work. I love how your whole estate has evolved, since you and your wife started living there. Great Job to the both of you for making such a beautiful ranch.

[@golfbravowhiskey8669]

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

[@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.

[@GarrettMcCarthy]

Hey thanks for the candor Trent! Cool to see what you did and how it relates to dollars and cents.

Did you heard about Xavion? It's backup glass avionics for iPhone/iPad, with AHRS, calculated/estimated IAS, GPS, needs mobile ADS-b receiver for every feature. Shows glide path to runway after engine failure, shows where are wake turbulence. I would love to heard opinion about that solution from pilot.

lol ! That 1973 movie reference. That was my first thought ! 😂 Such an awesome hanger ! Beauty build. 😍👍

[@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.

[@FlyingNDriving]

Thanks for the open price discussion and what you did and didn't get help with. Very rare and hard to see in the KZbin sphere these days

[@edvangreunen47]

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

Nice Hangar Trent! Did you add any plumbing to the building? I built a 65'x80' with 40' Schweiss Door (plus 65x40 apron) in South AL on an acre of land on a 2400' grass strip all in for $210K in 2021. 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.

Have you put any identification on the hangar roof? Look for the big white “T” - roof strobe for visitors.

[@figit090]

Nice hangar man! Looks like some great choices and just roomy enough.

[@agentofart5425]

Thanks! Really good to see all the costs. When will you put some nice vegetation and grass on and around the property? Any plans already? How is the daily commute for both of you? Does it take a lot of time?

[@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.

[@FlowPoint]

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!

[@wb6anp]

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

This is likely in another video but I’ll ask anyway. How many acres are you on and did you have to notify or get approval from the FAA of your airstrip plans?

Enjoy landing at your home and saving the drive from Stead!

[@finnmaccool3385]

Hey Trent, I seem to remember in one of the early build vids that you were doing a drone fly round that had some GPS save points and you planned on filming the pattern repeatedly as the build progressed then using the footage to produce a cool 'timelapse' once complete. Did I miss that or did it not eventuate?

[@rdsrf]

[@johnhoss2950]

Thanks for the breakdown. You done good.

[@silasmarner7586]

Had you not DIYed much of it, and you did a fantastic job!, it would have been north of $350k. I have a 42x60 shop (divided in an 11'9" x 60' (further split into a 21' and 39' rooms) and a 30x60 main shop, the small room and the biiig room have insulated cielings and walls, and that is valued at $118k by insurance. Mind you I have 3 2x4' windows in main shop, 1 2x4' in the "office" (which has been painted and caulked and has indoor/outdoor carpet), pretty good but not hexalight quality.... and two 10' garage doors in the main ship and a man door in the main shop, doors between each room, a man door to the exterior in the "office". I also have a 50' wide and 20' long concrete pad in front of everything except the edge of the long skinny room. I've replaced every seal on every door on every side. The 118k insurance estimate included the newly installed 30x60' cieling with insulation and finishing the walls with insulation and OSB. Right now I just use a 100 gal portable propane tank and 100k btu floor heater which cost a pittance and do a great job heating the now-fully-insulated main shop. Check with your local plumber but here my plumber said he HATES adding the water heater for the in-floor pex system 'cause often they don't know what goes where. I do hope you have a detailed diagram of all the pex stubs stickin' outta the floor and where they go. They put 'em in my full 2400 sq. ft. basement but it's always 68 degrees down there winter spring summer or fall, so why even use 'em? With inflation and square footage and quality of components you probably are kinda on the money there, Trent. It's very beautiful!
