Janello Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 I couldn't let Mike Suiter have all the fun! Morton built this and once the slab is poured I will do all the finishing. I'm hoping to work on this over the winter and be able to move my tools in by early spring. Things left to do- Run conduit for 100A service and in floor outlets Pour Slab Partition off 11 x 23 area for clean room Insulate and finish interior walls and ceiling Run all lighting and electrical circuits Install 2 head ductless heat pump Top soil and landscape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estesbubba Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 I couldn't let Mike Suiter have all the fun! It's fun until you get to the final 25% (about where I'm at) then it's "can this be done already?" Congratulations and of course I love the colors! You are going to love it, and one thing I really like about mine, are the windows. It's so nice to have a view and natural light plus fresh air on nice days. Keep the pictures coming and us updated on the build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

estesbubba Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Looking good and that insulation and furring strips look familiar. Are you doing OSB or drywall for the ceiling and walls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you doing OSB or drywall for the ceiling and walls? Not set in stone yet, but most likely going with T&G pin oak real wood paneling on the walls of the shop. Drywall for the utility/finish room and ceilings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..Kev Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Looks great! I have in floor plugs as well and really like them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 The little bit of pin oak I have worked is very stiff, rigid material. Should look awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 Looking fantastic! And I put one of those trails from my shop to the house! It helps me find my way back after I've had a few! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janello Posted December 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 Just ordered a pre hung double 3'-0'' knotty Alder door with oak veneer jambs for the partition wall inside. I can't wait to see this beast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushwacked Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Oh this is awesome!! Hopefully it's all still going to well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janello Posted February 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Not much new to report. Between the weather, waiting on the pin oak to be milled and funds to come through, things have mostly been on hold. I did get the Knotty Alder doors installed, and they look great! I'll post some pics once I get the walls closed up, looks like that may take another few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnorris1369 Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Not too sound dumb. But I assume you figured out layout first to run electrical before concrete? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnorris1369 Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 How do you like Morton ? I'm getting ready to start on building a shop soon is why I'm asking. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janello Posted February 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Not too sound dumb. But I assume you figured out layout first to run electrical before concrete? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Concrete gets poured after the structure is standing with Pole Barn construction so technically you can run electric after the pour. However, I didn't want to see the building service enter from the outside so I ran my conduit in before the pour. At the same time I ran a conduit for my floor outlet boxes below the pour.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk From talking with quite a few other people that have them before I hired them out, they have a terrific reputation. My experience with them was top notch. They put one gentleman in charge from start to finish. He helped with design, permits, material deliver, follow ups and was always a phone call away. I never got the feeling they were trying to pull the wool over my eyes or sell me something I didn't need or want. The building was built with strait clean lumber and 3 employees that had each been with the company for 20+ years knocked it out in 4 days! Having said that, they have a reputation for being a little pricey, but in my area I didn't have many options that were not risky. Mike Suiter (Estesbuba) just had a Lester Building put up and from the pictures he posted here it looks like they paid the same attention to detail. I'd say they are the two big players that have the testimony of prefabricated, well built Pole Barns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
