Re: Building a boat storage barn... result on property value.
Thanks for the additional input. Has anyone sold their place with a barn included?
I have a quote for the 40x60, but I just don't need the extra space for the cost. Once you go from 30 to 40 foot span, the price jumps considerably, and the concrete... holy $hit. Why is concrete so expensive? Its just sand, gravel and water!!
Rippem, how do your sliding doors work for you? Do they seal well as far as wind and rain on the edges? How is the ease of movement?

yes, very well
easy. I throw a couple gobs of light waterproof grease in the track once in a while. This older unit has nice heavy-duty trucks with a relatively wide wheel.

i also agree with somebody above, spend a little more on the front (make it look like the house if possible) and you will get a little more out of it, some don't like the look of a metal building behind there house, even if they are going to use it...

yes rebar not the wire mesh, I built a 26 x 38 x 10.5 for 12k doing everything myself Except for the concrete which I hired out.
My Relator told me the a large storage building too close the home can hurt resale, unless its tastfully designed and the house still dwarfs it.

Two words, China, Iraq. We are shipping that stuff by the boat loads to both places. Oh yeah re-bar as well. Want to make some money, buy stock in the companies supplying the China buildout.

we exercise population control, and cleansing, in the boathouse. Pigeons, blackbirds, or any other dirty nuisance bird... roosting, or just stopping by, gets it.
800 ft/sec pellet rifle w/scope. I use the pointed penetrator.
the robins that pass thru, the little wrens (some of whom nest) stay...
they serve more of a purpose eating the spiders off the rafters, than they cause a problem in noise or chit combined.
