The carport is too expensive for me. I can build something with a lot less expense if I just call up the lumber mill and get some timbers and boards, get limestone from the mine, and make my own roofing tiles. (The larger pieces of limestone are for the foundation, and you cook the small pieces in a coal furnace to make lime, crush them, add water, and let it sit for a week or so, then you mix the slaked lime with screened soil and you have crazy strong mortar that self-heals cracks.) Roofing tiles are dead simple to make, and if you use a spanish tile kiln to fire them, You can make enough tiles for the roof in 2 firings. If you bathe the tiles in a wood-ash and ochre slurry before firing, they will not be porous.

Love how you’re often open about costs and prices. Many YouTube’rs promise to tell ya all about it, keep stirring around the pot and tell you in fact nothing worth full. Love the channel dude!! Keep it up

You are 100% correct to say " what ever building size you THINK you want... double it. I learned that early on too lol

[noc]

Always set down a post, even just a fence post by any corner, opening or door where you will be driving cars and equipment. You want to bump into the post 10-20" before you hit your building.

[JohnR]

So true about doubling the size you think you need. Boy it fills up fast.

[dmorgan]

Those metal buildings make for nice sheds. 👍👍👍❤️

We put up a 60x80 poll barn with concrete floor under half of it with a dividing wall . Heated half so fully insulated for working on equipment the rest was cold storage. It was full in less than a year. It doesn't matter how big you build you'll find junk to fill it. Never keep it over 40 unless we were working on something. When my brother sold the farm it was the only building left standing.

Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
Very informative.

[johncambra]

I love this channel. You are a hoot. We can always count on your honesty and straight forward approach.

[markfields]

Champion Buildings built my shop. Great job and fully insulated. Never gets below 40 degrees in there in the winter and easy to heat with a small space heater.

[davidb.beasley]

Excellent video. Very informative. Precise and to the point. Your property is looking good. I'm proud for you.

[donutman]

Josh, never use the insulation you were describing in your garage, I'm in Tn so similar weather, I was talked into that stuff in my 50x100 building and within 3 years it disintegrated, you would touch it and it would fall to pieces. We had to replace all the wall insulation with thicker quality insulation and the roof still has the thin stuff and it's all hanging with flakes of it constantly dropping on everything. I now realize our builder just wanted to put more money in his pocket, just a heads up on your new building, love the videos. Woooo!!

[stevenerickson]

Thank you for info. I am 15 miles west of Duluth MN. Everything needs insulation, even if not heated, as the freezing can be -30. I am looking at putting up a building with heated floor, using containers as walls with trusses overhead. Tractor storage and project space.

[IceShowtime]

Great video. Thanks for being open and honest. Most people would never do that, especially with things that pertain to $!!!
But this video was very helpful.
My hat is off to you for living in a modest home and living modestly so you can get your farm going. The sacrifice will be worth it !

[butchbailey]

Great Explanation on selecting steel buildings, options, and cost.

[terrymangum]

Enjoyed the tour of the buildings Josh. We are looking to add a building and your information was very helpful. Get more than you think you will need to start with sounds like good advice. Thanks for sharing.

Mrs., our two small kids, and I went from a mobile home to a split level house in 1986. It came with a two car garage. I thought this would give me all the storage I would ever need. Hah! Not even close. Maybe I should have bought a farm instead.

[lukemullis]

Man you should see the very first building on our farm. Dad bought nails, and salvaged tin, and had a friend bring a portable saw mill. Lean to, sasafrass posts, 4 inch pine logs for rafters and oak boards for siding. It's been there nearly forty years and still a strong little shop, just looks hick as hell lol

[laohantun]

Wooo...Josh...you are going right direction with right mind dreams come true....great President, what good can we ask the Lord you will see more blessing done in miraculous way.
