My brothers 80/100 with a 3bdr framed into one end. This is the oustide....the house is to the back of this pic. It opens to the "patio that you see to the right:

The patio with traditional doors into the "house" portion:

This is taken inside the shop, looking at the "exterior" of the framed out "house". He has stairs on one side going up to fully planked storage on the top of the living quarters....huge amount of storage. He's decked this area out for entertaining and it opens right into the balance of the building that is his shop.

I wish I could have talked the wife into this... lol

Place looks great, drmarkr.

  • #4

Yup, agreed. Looks like a fun place to live.

Considering the arguments against this sort of home in other threads, it would be interesting to hear if a bank financed it or what kind of zoning hurdles the builder went through.

I don't know about helping you out other than telling you to do a search for something like......"Pole barn and shop living quarters". But what I do know is that YOU SUCK!!!!!!!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Man I wish I was in your position :lol: :thumbup:

If you're asking me about the pics? No financing. Had the building erected and then built out the "home" himself. This is rural Oklahoma.....zoning? What zoning??

BTW, he keeps the AC in the house on 68 all summer, and his electric bill is some stupidly small amount. The walls of the "home" are insulated, and set 6" off the purloins/girts of the walls of the exterior. Fantastic R value. Pisses me off every time I get an electric bill for my house here in Arizona.....

here is one near me. It is on a farm but still the guy must have a tolerant wife to let him build a barn with a "house" attached.

^^^^^^^^This is awsome!!! I wonder if he'll get his money back when he wants to sell it down the road. I know I'm being negative bla bla bla.... Maybe this guy has a ton of money to piss away so he doesnt care... Im NOT in a position to piss money away.

I lived in mine longer than I should have, 12 yrs, maybe more. I miss the convenience. In a structure designed for this would really look careful at floor plans, the obvious isn't always so. Personally wouldn't build the house across an end but more along the side/corner. All utilities and real living space on the bottom, guest room/storage type stuff on second floor.

Looking at the background, I'm guessing the guy is a farmer, probably a young one that built on family ground. If that's the case, it'll probably never get sold even if they build a house on the property. It'll turn into a guesthouse/office or hang out for the kids.

Just a guess. . . .

Yes, it's on farm growing corn and/or beans like most around here. Most of the buildings would be for tractors, planting and harvesting equipment. As you can see it's well taken care of.

It's easy to see on Google maps (satellite). Google "Oxford Ohio", click on "maps" and choose "satellite" image. Follow Brookville Rd. southwest out of Oxford across the Ohio/Indiana state line where the name changes to Oxford Pike and it turns to the south. Follow Oxford Pike past Lee Road to where it makes a 90* right turn to the west and the farm is on the south side of the road. All this can be seen on the original map of 'Oxford Ohio" in the bottom left corner by the mile/kilometer scale. Once you find it just zoom in for a closer look.

If I was more computer savvy I'd just post a link.

Is your brother's first name Dennis? If so, I have been in that building. It was a few years ago before he built the house. He told me about his plans to do so.
BTW, if this is the same guy, hats off to him. He erected that 80x100 building without a crew, using a tractor and gin pole. Because it was prefab, he only had something like a 1/8 inch tolerance on some of the holes lining up, and nailed all of them.

Had a few indoor motorcycle races until I hit a pole with the bike and slid into my kitchen.

Hehehe, that's awesome! So funny. Cool place.

Good thing it doesn't get cold there. Would be tough to heat.

Thank you everyone for all the cool pictures and ideas

I did a Mueller building, 40 x 60, with a 2 story apartment down one side (still in progress) The living, bath, small kitchen and 1 bdrm are down stairs, upstairs is 2 more rooms with a mezzanine to be open to the shop area. This pic is before the 2nd floor was framed out, a few weeks ago

  • #35

That's cool Sean. So your shop space is going to be like 60' long by 20' or 25' wide?
I'd love to see/hear more about your plans.

I started a thread, but have to get more pics this weekend,

http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=217583

Yeah the shop area is roughly 26 x 60 on the right, and on the front left corner an area 12 x 14 open as well. I did this in sketchup today to get a better idea of the final layout / finish
