Hi everyone,
As some of you know, we are moving to Shelby NC after the first of the year.
We are going up this weekend to map out a place to put the barn.
It will be 30X70.
I cannot decide if it should be wood, metal or concrete block.
I know concrete is the best way to go,, but we would have to have it all hired out and I know block will NOT be cheap! But there again,, a nice block barn would add value to the property.
Has anyone built a block or wood barn lately and can give me price comparisons to use?
And the roof will probably be galvalume,, should we unsulate the roof?
I know barns here in FL have the roof insulated to help with keep the heat out of the barn,, and it does work! But what about for keep the barn warm in winter in NC?
I have lived in FL all my life and this will be a huge climate/culture change for me.
I want to build it right the first time as I spend a HUGE amount of time in it!! LOL!
