My Pole Barn/Wood Shop passed it's building inspection.

[Dave Walker]

I posted a little over a month ago asking about insulation ideas for a new Pole Barn I was building. While I haven't done any electrical or insulation yet, I did complete the construction of my building and am happy to say it passed the final inspection. Here are a few pics of the outside of the finished building. It is 32' x 48' with an 8' x 48' porch overhang. It also has an upstairs which is 16' x 48'. I'll probably start the electrical and insulation this spring. Thanks for looking and I'll keep you posted of my progress.

That's a real sweet building you have there. You are going to love that upstairs. You can store all kinds of junk up there. I built a 20x30 a year ago with a steep (but normal) pitched roof to allow for headroom upstairs. Your's is even better. I also have a 4x6 hatch between the first and second floors with an electric hoist mounted to the roof rafters over it foir getting large, heavy stuff up. I have my DC and compressor up there to cut down on the noise downstairs and it works out real well, so run some circuits (both 110 and 220) up there. You won't be sorry.

Wow! That is really, really nice, Dave! I'd love to have an upper floor on this joint! Nice design, as well. Does NOT have that "pole barn" appearance to it at all!:) :cool:

Dave, that's a very nice looking building and I expect that you will have a great shop in it.

Congratulations on passing the inspection. It's always a relief when you reach that stage on a building.

[Travis Porter]

Nice, very nice. Now comes the fun part, figuring out where to put electrical outlets, dust collection, air hose, etc.

[Frank Eppler]

Looks great Dave. Can't wait to see the inside finished.

Thanks for the compliments everyone. I appreciate it.

But now I'm starting to get worried. My wife said she has to go shopping for blinds and curtains for it now...:eek:

Curtains: Make sure they're the phooooofy ones with flowers on them!:D Hey, seriously! What blue-blooded American thief would go searching for tools in a building with those on it??? Cheap security system.:D :) :cool:

[Jeff Sudmeier]

Wow Dave, that is one sweet looking shop! You are going to love having all of that space. Congrats!

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Congrats on passing those inspections Dave! Like you, I'm in the process of building a new shop. I've been 18 months in the process. Everything I do is to code or better and evething is inspected. Makes it safer and easier to sell in the future. Again..........Congrats!
