Skunkwerks barndominium build

[ditty22]

Just wanted to start a thread showing the build of our shop/cabin. About 4 years ago we bought 40ac in northern Wisconsin to have our own hunting land and a place to call our own. less than 3 weeks we start building our own place. We are having northland buildings put a 36' x 72' x 17' pole building up and we finish out an area 24' x 36' into a living quarters with a loft giving us 1200sf and leaving us with a 36' x 48' shop. Pictures to follow

Well not a very productive week late week. Got into it with the contractor & supply co and they are refunding our money. Working on getting bids again and it seems that we found a new builder to work with that's helping us make some small changes to have a better end product. Build date could be mid October is what we are being told.

We ended up going with Walters buildings after having problems with northland buildings!

We have some materials!

Last minute I decided to upgrade the posts to perma columns so the building will last forever!

Thanks for sharing and glad you got the photos going.

Framework is coming together nicely!

In the living quarters we had them add a header and set trusses @ 2ft on center to make the finish out easy for me!
