I'm not sure honestly, would probably want steel frame. I'd like to put something up that I don't have to worry about for a few decades ya know?

Steel frames will last a very long time so long as the concrete is done correctly. Where are you located? If Tennessee it may benefit you to use someone else because of shipping costs but I can get you pointed in the right direction with a reputable company. Panel types that you can use for desired looks for your project.

LOL, my plans are a little out there but here I'll go. My current metal building is 60 X 200 with 20' eve heights. I would like to duplicate this on some acreage somewhere in middle Tennessee.

I would like to take the front of the building and use about 25' for living space., giving me about 60'x50' for two story living space. That would leave me with 60'X150' for indoor recreation. Want a year round indoor pool? Just do an above ground. Want a theater? want a place to put your toys? want a place to put in a cool bar? want a place to work on your stuff? Indoor basketball court? The possibilities are endless. I would do in-floor radiant heating with water from an outdoor wood fired boiler. The thing is, metal buildings are cheap. The concrete is expensive, $200/yd last I heard. You basically build your house inside the metal building. I would do a lot of the work myself after retirement. Am I crazy?

No, you aren't. It's the way to go. Year round pool. Not sure your budget but you can do hanger doors or folding doors and have a large open area on the walls during the summer months. If your budget allows. I'd think if you're building a 60'x200' to do this. Your budget is pretty friendly.

Yeah if you have good builders in the area I'd love to hear them. We'd be building in East TN, small town in Morgan County (just west of Oak Ridge/Knoxville)

Offer up some more $$$. They did after they'd already lost a ton of golfers. Not throw a fit and start banning people immediately. They acted like they were bulletproof and not to be tested. I'm sure they never thought they'd lose this many top golfers, and it shows.

Banning the scumbags that don't care to destroy the PGA tour for personal gain is appropiate imo. I don't understand how you think otherwise. I don't think anything would have stopped the few douchebags that have already took their money from doing what they have done.

First time posting or replying to anyone on this board but I just wanted to say that your plan is similar to what I was looking to build. The concrete is by far the most expensive part of that build. I looked at doing something similar to your plan but lucked into a structure that was already built but completely open. I'm just building in the interior to our plans. I couldn't have afforded the concrete for the space I now have. The concrete on my property alone is probably worth more than I paid total.

glad to see you post. I figured the concrete alone is $30K not counting forming and finishing. I think I paid 50K for my building on the ground in '06. I'm sure it's probably double that now (It also included a 25'x75' attached lean-to). That didn't include insulation or roll-up doors. It did include the 5-6 man doors.

I figure I could probably get the building up, concrete, doors, and insulation for $200K. Then I could build the house on the inside myself, over time. Probably have a killer place for $400-$500K. plus the land.

It will be 3-4 years before I venture down that road.

On the pool, I was thinking above ground cheap, that way when you didn't want it you take it down. I built the main doors for my building. We made them from square tubing and sheet metal. They're similar to bi-fold doors in on a closet, just huge. They're 30'W X 20' H.

You are most definitely crazy. But that’s beside the point. The guy who came to our firm that bought the fuselage of an 747 that wanted to build it atop a steel tube so it rotate in the wind like a weather vane… 🤪.

I've got nearly 15,500 square feet of concrete total between structures and pads. No way that I could have had that much poured and afford a structure. Land is great too. Ended up with 16 acres. I'll have less than $450k invested by the time I'm finished and will have 13,500 square feet to live and play in.
