central - east central Minnesota - | Bigboyfloyd - 1/3/2013 20:07How did you do it? I have a real nice 42x76 that was built in 1990 for livestock, its 100 percent insulated already has heat ect... problem is it only has 10ft eves, its all white steel inside and looks like new. I'd like to turn it into a shop, but its got to go up at least 8 or 10 feet. I had a house mover look at it and he told me they set up inside and shove the barn stright up suck the poles out of the ground. take it up to height and then you put new poles cut to length back down the holes and attach. I dont know if I like that idea. What about a poured wall and set the barn on that? or cut all the poles the same height and build a new wall and attach the barn that way. They want about 13,000 just to raise it. then of course you have everything else on top of that to finish it back out, including a big door. I dont know, Its got to be way cheaper than a new shop. (brother wants a new shop) What do you guys think?? A couple considerations . . . The insulation is likly shot - mice and condensation ......The inside and outside sheeting is too short, when lifted . . . .I would consider demoing it and saving material, then starting from scratch, doing it right. You for sure have truss's for the new shop and some lining steel for the inside, with new insulation, where it needs to be. If you have time, you will save considerable amount of money demoing your self and setting up for some one to build the new one.
