congrats!! where putting trusses on mine tomorrow. 24x32 shop. we were going to put a man cave in too, but really wasn't enough room up there to justify the cost. so she's a single story.we used 13.5 yrds of concrete for the walls and footings(125.00 per yrd) what are you paying for concrete? my trusses were 1700.00 apposed to 5000.00 for the bonus room thing. do you have a buget in mined for your garage? I'm looking at roughly 18,000.00 for the shell with the roof shingled

I have the same, except 24x24. The upstairs "mancave" is a great place for tunes and reading Ford articles.
PO built it, scary thing is he put the joists the wrong way...front to back instead of side to side. So all the weight rests on a post between the 10' doors, and the posts on the corners. Gives me a good reason for that gantry crane trolley system, though.
Good luck with yours.

My pole building cost $36,000 put up, with the concrete, and 700yd of fill dirt, and the gravel drive finished from the other drive. I should also tell you that it is actually 2 buildings hooked together, 32x48X16 and 32X24X10 all shingled roof. Over all square footage is 2300, and I put a loft in the corner of the 32X48.
This is the third building that I have built (hopefully the last). I finally got the measurements correct. Here is my formula...figure out what you need then double it, there still won't be enough room.

Before you run a seperate meter, check with your electrical provider. I was going to do the same until I found that it would cost double what it would to tie into the house. The electrical charges are more also. In my area they classified mine as a business, and charge more. I ran a 100 amp line from the house to the barn for about $1000, I was building the house at the time though. Just a heads up.

My shop is 40x58 all metal on concrete. I'm doing the floors this week with epoxy paint. I hope to put in a second deck in it later.
