Closing on a property next Monday - been looking for over 2 years. Many were: too expensive, too much acreage and they won't divide (meaning too expensive), too far from home, zoned wrong, etc... This is 5 acres in an unzoned township exactly 5 miles from home.
It is an old golf course shop. Unfortunately, the building needs to come down, but the slab is in good shape.
The current slab is 30x80. I was thinking of having a pole barn built maybe 50x80. To save some $ up front, I'll probably do a gravel floor for the other 20' with the plan to concrete it in the future.
Looking for all kinds of input / Any tips you have!
I know...depends on what I need to put in it. Planning to grow to 2, but not likely more than 3 crews out of this location.
Office won't be there for now...but probably some day.
Is 50x80 the right size?
how high? I'm thinking 14'. But if I do that, why not go to 18' and have the option to do a mezzanine for more storage and/or office space? (but some trusses allow for a smaller second story...so maybe 14' is enough)
I've had a couple of brief conversations with builders, but need to have more serious discussions.
(anybody want a few tons of old cinder blocks? They will be there for the taking!)
