Cool! I have plans to start one in the near future. Post some pics as you progress. BTW, that's a beautiful pond/background.

R&R, you're a better man than me. It would be hard to get any work done with a view like that. Very nice.

Nice! Is this your first structure on a future home site? If so, it'll certainly come in handy.
Sweet pond!

Been slow going working nights and weekends. But here are a few updates. Catwalk in attic space.  Some morning fog.  Fascia boards and gutter boards up.  Myself up high and my brother at the bottom hanging metal.  One side of the roof complete.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Nice! One piece of advise, whether the floor will be cement, gravel or even dirt, put down some heavy plastic under the floor as a vapor barrier. It will stay nice and dry that way. Otherwise moisture comes through the floor and at certain temps it will condense on the roof and drip.

Looks great! What are the dimensions?
I need one badly...ball park figure on materials?
I'm looking at having a 30'W x 50'L x 12'H equipment shed with all-metal construction built for around $10K. Sound about right?
BTW, nice picnic table!

The insulation or wrap that the sheet metal is going over is a good idea. Without it metal roofs can get dripy inside under certain moisture conditions. Helps with lowering the sound level during a rain storm also.

woodster, Definate on the vapor barrier, Im actually putting 2" of high density Styrofoam over the plastic and have heat in the floor via a boiler.Thanks
Mobilus, its 36 x 66 with a 6 12 pitch and 18" overhang with a 10' ceiling height.Trusses on 4' centers. My lumber, Metal and insulation was $11,500. My Dad made that picnic table many a year ago.Thanks
snrub, I used a similar insulation in the pole barn I have now and it makes a big difference, I have found it performs better in the summer than winter. We are going to live in half of this one for a little while so I will be putting in a ceiling and inside wall with extra insulation.Thanks
And Thanks to all for the comments.Taking a couple of days break standing on that metal roof all day may calves are killing me.

Awesome site. I also hope to get one up maybe next summer. We've been trying to run a market farm for 5 years now w/no water, electric, or building of any kind. Last year I stored a ton and a half of butternut squash in my daughter's old bedroom. I have a very patient wife, but it's time for a building!! Concrete is the biggest expense at $110/yard.
I had my friends help put in the yard at our new house years ago. The beer bill alone would have paid a landscaper, but the experience was priceless.

bw, You might look into opening an account with one of your concrete plants. I was able to lock in for a year at $89 a yard. And I'm not a contractor. Did that same thing when we painted our first house but I,d rather spend $1000 on beer and wings than pay someone else to do it, Makes great memories my friends still bring up from 18 years ago. Thanks

I built mine in 1980's over a three year period of my own design, (33'x40') and also built my trusses and raised them my self. The inside is lined with shelves and cubby holes for tools and storage. It's one of the best thing I ever did and a very satisfying project.

That is one beautiful canoe.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Nice boat! The roof rack ain't too shabby either. That picture reminds me of a friend, who, along with his wife got into cycling some years ago. They had a couple of high dollar bicycles, which they would transport via a roof rack on their car. One day, after they returned from a trip to some bike trails in the Hill Country, he forgot about the bikes on the car's roof and whipped into his garage. Nothing emerged unscathed; the bikes, the car, nor the garage. A trifecta.
