Brian...looks great, I know you will be happier with Monsoon out of the elements at home. When we were looking to build ours, I couldnt find too many Steel Buildings, or Pole Barns advertised. I was in a doctors office picked up a issue of Co-Op living that was laying on the table. Turned to the back and their were no less than 12 different manufactures advertised there in the back of the magazine.

Brian, it looks great.

Very Nice!

Awesome setting too.

Two truckloads of #57 spread, and the toys are put away. Its also a LOOOOOOOOOONG way to back up; but I like it that way

Randy I'll build it for you and whats that boat you have again a Fountain.lol cya in KW

Looks great Brian!

Sweet looking house too!

The house is ALL Mary Sue. She built it in 2004. I hope you's guys get to see it someday.





Thanks everyone.

Brain,

Here's a rendering of one I am trying to get under roof before winter sets in....

Looks Great Brian. Nice crib too!! Hey....is that Mary Sue in the window upstairs? :p

Rich just broke his mouse backing up to the picture:D

Kevin, are you building another one? I liked the first!

I like the traditional barn style. I was going to go with a traditional red/white barn at my last house/property, before I sold it and concentrated on getting the barn built here.



ROFLMAO!!! :D :D

I thought I saw her too, tough to tell with the naked lawn boy in the way.:D

It looks good :cool: I wish sometimes my building was in the backyard and not 45 mins. away. I guess we will all get to see it when you have the party :party-smiley-020:

Concrete is going to run $7K. Its going to be a STEEEEEEEP cover charge. :ernaehrung004:

:cool-smiley-027:Renting out, OH about a 40' spot for the winter would go good towards that concrete, :cool-smiley-027:

I built that one at the lake house which is an hour and a half away. I find mysef working in the pole barn on the weekends at the lake more than I'm enjoying the lake. I'd like to tinker during the week in Fort Wayne. I bought a 2 acre lot with a house on it about a mile from my house in Fort Wayne. I'm going to build it there and then tear down the house that's on it to build a new house. We'd like to downsize the house we're in now since the kids are grown up. Plus my pole barn is full!! You can never build them too big!!

Mark - where do you keep yours?

For you, $6799 November to April, and I'll throw in a winterization. :D

I've got a building i own in Hampton. I've got 4 big boats and 2 ski boats i've promised spots to this winter so it looks like i'm full. Don't they have space you can rent at the racetrack in Richmond ? I heard that somewhere recently.

Brian you need to give me a call and talk too the guy that did mine, much cheaper them what you have priced.

Yes...about $300 from Nov 1-Mar 1, non-temperature controlled fully enclosed buildings. I have done this for several years with success and this is where she will be all winter. The only part that sucks is that if you want to get to it, you need to schedule an appointment days in advance so they can manuever boats to gain access to yours, etc. However, for this price, it is a good deal.

That's a sweet deal Shawn. $1200.00 heated for 6 mos is the best I found up by me.

Hey Steve...hope you're well. Yes, it is a sweet deal. Our winters are pretty mild so heated is not so much necessary. I just want to be able to walk out and sit in it every once in a while :(

Yours still for sale? Anyone serious come along or just tire kickers?

Who let the air out of Russ's tires ? Or is that FWB just so heavy it flattened them :rolleyes: :D

:D

Everything is backwards on a FWB. They had to let the air of the tires to get the motors over the FW. :ernaehrung004:

It is a heavy pig! The engine was 2 inches too short from clearing the transom!!! I've since changed the bunks to lower the boat 2-3 inches and the engine lift has been modified to 2-3 inches taller. Heaven forbid we have to pull the engines again anytime soon but if so the air will only be coming out of someone's mouth and not my tires!!!! :D

I just realized Russ must be Polish :D

Sounds good Russki

Since I'm a glutten for punishment....what the he11 does that mean? :Whatever:

Mark, maybe the younger generation has not hear of this?

A polock would take his motor his motor over the the cockpit, windshield and bow when removing it instead of just going over the stern. :boat:

Congratulations Brian, the house and the garage look great! I talked to you about it in the spring. My contractor had some jobs get bumped so I had my garage done in July. It is a great luxury to have all the toys inside. No electric yet, but the extension cord works well enough for waxing and tinkering. Monsoon will get more TLC than ever !

Thanks again G4B and everyone.

I worked outside in the toy box for a couple hours the other night getting ready to take the boat out on Saturday. I found myself polishing the wheels on the dually, and a bunch of other little things. It was truly awesome to have a place to do all that stuff.

I ordered the doors today, and they are coming for the site survey tomorrow. They should be here in a week or two. I will at a bare minimum get the electrical feed trenched out there before the ground freezes. I have been using the Honda EU2000I generator to power the contractor lights temporarily in the toy box.

We had the backyard shed finished and converted into a craft studio for Mary Sue this spring. (The second smaller one now has all the pool stuff in it.) I had the electrical feed run to the studio beefed up enough to feed the toy box as well. She has her 'space' and I have mine. Now we wonder when we'll see each other. :D

Well since the motor BARELY clears the transom, there is no way in he11 it would clear going out the front...off course after we took the windshield off it cleared fine!!! :rolleyes::D

Why did you put it back on :violent-smiley-045:

:cool:
I can't believe it's taken this long for that photo to show up!!!!

Oh just waiting for the right time :D They might show up again one day :rolleyes:

Quick update:

Garage doors have been installed for a while, and I just bought and trenched the electrical supply cable from the house to the toy box (800+ ft).

I've been debating Metal Halide Bay lights vs. HO/Low Ballast Fluorescent lights, and it looks like I am going with the Fluorescents as they provide better light.
