- I am going to install some very bright LED garage lights in the pole barn. They are a High Bay LED light, made by HyperLite. And with 21,000 Lumens of output, they are very bright. And the concrete contractors come back and pour concrete in front of the pole barn. The pole is really looking finished from the outside now. Then I will cover the cost of building the pole barn so far.

We live in southeastern Illinois on a 41 acres homestead. We just finished building our log cabin overlooking our pond. We are trying to grow our own food and raise livestock. Follow us on our journey living the rural life and developing our property and becoming more self sufficient.
A lot of money but an investment for life, and the farm. Over the years you will be glad you have it.
Agreed great job and life investment
NASA called, said they could see you. Looks awesome!
Yes it’s a lot of money but it’s a lot of building. You’ll get so much use out of it and will be very handy to have.
Evan it might appear to be expensive, but wow what an outcome. The building is magnificently large & well built. In an emergency it could be used for just about anything. Well done, thanks for the trip
yes but still outrageous , there's always another way to do it
@@SamFBM ...and there's always someone like you. Negative Nancy.
Remember when Thumper's Mom said, "If you can't say something nice..."?
Probably not.
Get a large exhaust fan and install in the back of the barn, then when any window or door is open it will pull the hot air out and fresh air in and will be a lot cooler. Think about a night light on the front of the pole barn and one on the light pole you ran power from and that way you could see at night if you needed to. The lights look really bright and you did a good job of wiring everything.
Look at the brand Big Ass Fan. They make the best garage fans.
They are also Made in USA and not communist china like all other fans...
We have six 20 footers at work. They are spectacular.
yes but they are 2 grand plus , he's already overbudget
I definitely agree big ass fans are great fans our factory has them
Like Senator Dirksen said: A hundred dollars here and a hundred there and it adds up to real money (I think he said million} - but you had to go to a thousand. It really came out beautiful - over the years you will appreciate the expense that you put into the planning and building of such a beautiful shop. All of us are jealous,
Evan an Rebecca, yes the price is high, but you put out a great channel, and I’m sure that you’re going to be blessed with the sacrifice. Remember how you got where you are now. God Bless and keep moving forward, Fantastic.
Pole barn looks GREAT! Thumbs up on this build......!!!!
You deserve it sir!! You're a hard worker, enjoy it
When you're mounting your electrical boxes don't forget to allow for your drywall.
Happy Father's Day Evan and to your Dad as well. God Bless!!!
Yup - I also went with Hyperlites - the 150W Hero series and boy, those puppies are bright and very nicely made. My barn on small - only 20' x 40' and I put up six lights. There are no dark corners and I am delighted.
Yes I have been happy with mine as well
This is the reason I never tallied up the cost of our pole building. We bought a farm with a bare interior Morton building this year. I finished off the space just like you, with spray foam and even the UFO lights. I also did blow in ceiling insulation and finished the walls with plywood 8' up with tin for the upper 5'. You and I are kings of bad timing for building supplies. Good luck, I enjoy the channel.
Might want to check out Big Ass Fans…. The work great for shops like yours.
Thanks for sharing all the costs with the viewers, A lot of folks are very "funny" about
talking about what things cost,
Those LED Lights are a awesome investment and was a great decision. Congratulations.
Evan,can’t do anything about the rain, but you are doing good. God bless and take this time to relax a little. If you can’t find anything to do ,you can always show us the animals. Lol Hi Rebecca,
Takes money to make money. Beautiful building, you have something that most of us only dream about.
You are so refreshing to watch. No fake nonsense. Good,bad, can do ,can’t do.
God Bless you have a beautiful property
That’s a great building. Yes it’s not cheap, but you’ll use it and appreciate it every day.
Evan I used to drive concrete truck. Definitely give it at least 7 days. Would be best to push as close to 21 though. I know the state when doing road work always did there test cylinders at 7 and 21 days. Looking great, gotta say I'm jealous over that shop.
Minimum of 14 days if not compacted
I love the brown and black combo!
That is a mighty fine barn. I would also be happy with it, esp The lighting.
You can truly see the thought and planning going into creating your homestead. Everything is so well thought out and your homestead is so beautiful. Yes, it is a big investment, but you guys are still young and will have something to be proud of and enjoy during your retirement. Keep up the good work and thanks for allowing us to come along with you on your journey.
The colors you chose for your building are excellent. Just a great build.
Evan yes you spent a lot of money on your building but it should last forever and you will be using and enjoying it a lot. I built a 30 by 26 with a large lean to 2 years ago and use it and enjoy it almost every day. Thanks for all your great videos. God Bless
You better be good to her and thank her looks great !!
That price seems expensive to me Evan.. We put up a 75ftx45ft Galvanised steel framed building,this was a kit building. We prepared ALL the base, got it level etc etc.. Then paid £8000 for a contractors to put it up.. The kit building consisted of galvanised steel stantions, roofing sheets, Yorkshire boarding on all 4 sides, (8ft).The entire kit was £13500.
The concrete floor, we had poured, but leveled it ourselves.. That was £6000.The concrete floor is also reinforced, and is 6 inches deep..Enjoyed this video.. 🚜🚜🚜🚜💯💯💯💯
Terrific building , great design. Enjoy.
Congratulations! You have a really nice pole barn. I wish I had a shop like that. Man, what a man cave!!!
Always enjoy your show.
Your shop is the envy of all of us. Congratulations on your new shop. Last year I got a quote of $48,000 for a simple 24x24 garage...this year that same garage is almost $60,000. I couldn't do it. Maybe next year!!
Heard yesterday that the price of lumber was on its way down.
Feeling your financial pain but look at your massive gain……..many years of working and hobbies in comfortable, bright surroundings.
The shop is looking excellent, when can we move in. Lol
The pole barn looks fantastic!! Expensive but fantastic 😜 Very happy for you
I like that barn. I like it a lot. You have one of the best channels on TH-cam! Congratulations on your hard work and success!
Evan, in early 1984 i bought a Morton Pole Barn, 45/72 for $9300. Over time everything costs more. Glad i did not wait any longer as that was a lot of money at the time & yes i vomited too. Just be realistic, it is now a reality.....no longer a dream. Enjoy it.
It's cheaper than a house. Great job!
Chin up Evan. Once you use the space and farm for a few years, these money issues go away but the beautiful barn remains
It was pricey but you’ll benefit from it the rest of your life …unless you move. The lighting was more costly than I expected but it’s efficient and bright. I think using that white or light gray epoxy floor paint would make the interior even brighter and it would also make clearing out the sawdust much easier but don’t use the sparkle stuff as it would reduce the slick surface you want to make cleanup easy.
Keep up the fine work. Your videos are always interesting and well done. I’m 76 and have been doing wood projects for 50 plus years and I’ve learned several tricks from you. Count your blessings with having a good hard working wife. She’s sure a keeper.
Nice one
Well the good thing is if its warm in the summer the barn should be a warm place in the winter. Now you have good dry storage to work on things. The weather is just hard on equipment. It seem now might be a good time to use it for a year and then move to your final set up. Later on it might be nice to set up air drop lines from a compressor. It gets to be a pain to drag the hose everywhere. Placement will work its self out when you use it. It is really nice if you can wheel your tools and lubricants around. I have also found a engine hoist very useful. I have used it to remove tractor tires and all kinds of lifting and handling of heavy parts. I have used it to also load them in the truck for repairs. Lucky enough my tires just fit in the bed of the truck. I look forward to see how it all works out. You may be able to rent it for special events. While the farm is growing and its empty. It would not really be my favorite thing to do but could work if your operation can make it work.
JudithB That is a lot, but over the years will make life so much easier!! Having the food prep area will really solve the irritations of getting meat processed.
Very nice lights
Great lighting system Evan!! Thanks for the tour and updates
You have my dream barn. Very nice.
Another quality video. Thanks for sharing.
You designed a remarkable pole barn. It was expensive, but should last well over 100 years. It will probably be the thing you use for about everything and the expense will pay or itself. Enjoy it. BTW, the lighting looks great!!!!
Very nice pole barn
2 fans one in the gable end one pointed down . Most any commercial building uses this
Always learning something watching farmers. Wouldn't have thought to tape over the contact connections of a light switch to keep it safer in the electrical box.
Hello Country View Acres
I'm jealous of your man cave !!
Your going to need to have a sunglasses dispensary by the door lol...Well Done!
WOW!!! What a garage. It’s perfect. So happy for you. God has truly blessed you with so much. Love the outside appearance. Country View Acres in a contrasting color would look amazing above the garage doors. Take care and God bless
AWESOME pole barn Evan! I no it's alot of money but it an amazing space! God bless you!
Don't think of it as an expense, think of it as a major investment. Think of the value of what you have developed. Great job.😉❤
We just got the floor stained and sealed in our new shop. The "heated space" is 40'x40' with a 26' awning on the front. Still have to wire and run compressed air. You've sold me on those lights! Our building has 12' side walls and the roof is on 5/12 pitch. Total for the building was $72000. A little over $27 bucks a foot, insulated. Hope this helps anyone planning a building. Note: When you spend that kind of money on concrete, sealing it is cheap! Oil on it would make ME throw up.
Love a bright shop! Looks great!
Later in the video I see yu have pull down cords. Good show and great lighting. As you get older you will need more light just to do what you do.
You will enjoy for years to come. It's a beauty, inspires lots of great projects in future. Dreaming, planning big, doing it! Impressive...
Enjoy the barn Evan! Greetings from Greece!
I was bracing myself for the total and I feel your pain. That is a tough pill to swallow. However, you nailed it at the end when you said you will be able to enjoy it for years to come. I think on projects like that you are smart to bite the bullet early and get it done so you can enjoy it as long as possible. We never built one but my dad has and he has used it for everything from machinery to pulling in loads of hay so we don't have to unload it and selling hay right off the wagon or to protect it on days we just barely beat the rain when making it. We have even entertained in it. Clear out the garage for large family gatherings and add tables and chairs. Keeps the house clean from all that traffic.
Long term investment but in 5 years time, you'll look back and be really glad that you had the courage to swallow the cost today! 👌
Amazing! So glad I found you. I have a pole barn that was already on my property when I bought it but it has no electricity. Thank you for all of this great information.
Nice facility, money well spent, couldn't have anticipated the plague and the extra expense it caused, guarantee you will appreciate it in the future
Love your transparency with the numbers.
Just a thought.....maybe installing a couple of exhaust fans in the gable area would help with the heat issue.....
dry nice . Happy for you.
Evan you are without a doubt the most genuine bloke on TH-cam. Luv the show hope everything including the hayfield starts to swing in your favour. Regards from Australia
Nice shop . . . you cannot have too much light . . . thanks for pricing things . . .
Evan, well done! You deserve it.
I have been looking at this light from this company. I'm very impressed at the light dispersal. I really noticed the lack of shadowing on the floor as you walked across it. This video made up my mind, thank you.
Everything turned out very nice!!
It is staggering to hear the total cost. On the other side you have a multi use building. Large parking area, shop, meat processing area and dog kennel. Your going to get great use of this for years. Congratulations great project. I used those high bay UFO lights in a gym at a Church and everyone was impressed how well they performed. Good choice. Stay safe
Nicely done.
Light look good
Good morning Evan, Those lights look great! Those are the same ones we have been considering for out 192x70 building currently being worked on. I saw you mentioned sales tax, have you looked into filing for farm tax exemption? To my knowledge you would meet all criteria, could result in some major savings! Just a thought.
-Richie
Your lights are dimmable if you add a dimmer switch according to the link info. You may never want to but with a dimmer switch you’d have the option to do so. Great homestead.
Fuck
Y'all need Your CVA logo up on the gable of your shed
It is really nice. And you have everything dried in and close to the house! So happy for you! God bless!
Thank you for sharing your costs! It is hard to swallow, no doubt. I having to admit, I am not in your shoes with a build. But is very interesting to get some idea of costs, even if living in a different area. You have a great channel and it shows!
Looking good
Different lights, but that's the same way I wired my lights - using outlets and hooks (I also used the lighting calculator and designed it for very bright as well!). That way as technology changes - and you know it will - it will be an easy upgrade in the future to swap the lights out. I put in LED High Bay's four years ago and they are very good, but but that technology is changing fast!
Man that's a good video! That's what I'm working towards on my channel.
Watching from Yosemite Kentucky. Thanks for sharing. Once lumber prices return to normal we hope to start our building. Great video series!
Your young, like I always say, if you want it, work for it ! Good job
Love those lights. Many a cool bright nights coming your way doing those projects.
Beautiful pole barn. Looks like it will heat well. Cost are crazy. But really nice having it. Nice share
What you need is a Box Fan on casters that you can move around the floor to cool the area where your working. Looks great.
Big bucks for sure BUT I must say.. 4k for a 24x54 pad is DIRT cheap. Glad its all coming together bro. Looks great.
That is such a professional job. Everything has been thought through in detail. Your meticulous attention shows, which will pay you back every day. Yes, it cost a fortune but just compare it with the ramshackle mess that was around when you moved in. You have an incredibly useful space that will pay for itself in a few years.
I bought a temp controlled attic gable vent fan for my house attic ti works good and really pushes the hot air out of the top of the gable end it will make a 10-20 degree reduction in the attic temperature. They are not really expensive, mine was less than $100.00. I really enjoy you videos and your channel. Keep up the great work! Thanks Terry J
Thanks for sharing the update and costs. Everything is looking amazing! And, congrats on passing 70k subscribers! You'll be passing 100k in no time.
Hi, Evan! Your careful planning for construction of your new pole barn will serve you well for the rest of your life. Expensive, but it’s a great multi purpose building.
That is one beautiful pole barn, and I think with current construction prices, you got a good deal. I think I would have had the same reaction as you, that sticker shock can be quite nauseating. Put into perspective though, some people spend that much on their car. Either way you've got a beautiful workspace, that's going to allow you to do a lot of your own maintenance, and building projects, and you can't put a price on that. I am quite envious, that is one beautiful place. God bless, Jimmy
I think sooner rather than later you will get past any "buyer's remorse" because you have built a very solid and useful building. Thanks for bringing us along.
Great job Evan and Rebecca, you’ll all get so much joy from your garage/work shop/butcher shop/dog kennel and you will get to utilize each section by this time next year. It will be well worth it in your lifetime. Thanks for sharing with us, Fred. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👋👋
Nice shop layout
