Congrats man! My wife and I are excited to be looking at something simliar to pull the trigger on in the coming years. Perhaps looking at somewhere in Tennessee but heck, it could still be somewhere here in Ohio even.

Modest house but a nice pole barn with a shop for our hobbies, business and more is definitely in the plans.

We have a two year and a six year plan to get out of the failed state of Illinois and more land and a pole barn are aBIG part of the plan.

Great update, Justin!

I remember your original thread on the property. That is going to be a sweet shop.

Good Luck! My wife and I just finished our 5 winter in AZ. Our 2 IL friends are looking to pull the plug and go full time. We’re trying to find a larger home/garages to merge into. The car scene in PHX is really busy!

That's the way to do it. I see you already have the cement floor, so too late now, but I put radiant floor heat in mine and it is amazing! Nothing like having a warm concrete floor when you're laying under something working on it. I'm looking into adding some mini splits for AC and to heat in the fall when it isn't really cold enough to warrant starting the radiant system yet.

If you haven't purchased your insulation yet, you might want to look into getting large rolls of insulation directly from Morton. They have rolls that are the exact width to fit between the poles. This makes hanging the insulation really fast and easy and you get a solid piece of insulation covering the entire opening with no seams. They have them for all pole spacings, 7'6", 8' and 9'. You might be able to find it somewhere else too, but I found Morton to be reasonably priced and the easiest way to get it.

I went with 3/4" plywood 8' high on the walls and then sheetmetal for the rest of the wall and ceiling. The wood makes it easier to attach things to the wall and also helps reduce noise/echoing.

Here is a picture of the insulation label and a few pics of my barn throughout the finishing process:
