This guy built a garage for $5,000 by adding a front and a back to a carport.
The doors in the picture look nice and expensive, compared to the other guy's shed doors.
It also appears that he did things right, including concrete footings, although he left the rest dirt.
He built the short walls and the floor for 67% more than what the other guy paid for four walls, a roof, and the floor?
Of course, that floor was just grass.
He said that he got concrete pavers off Facebook for free.
In order to keep the wind from causing problems, he screwed 2x4s across the corners, and piled cinder blocks on them.
The other video that I saw had him digging holes near the corners and finally burying a 4x4 in concrete, which he should have done in the first place.
This guy didn't set up a 400-square-foot building for a few thousand dollars, he set up a 2,100-square-foot building for $3,250, pouring footings every 9' for the steel double-truss steel frame, and a gravel floor, but it is like a better version of my disposable garage?
I don't know how that failed first, whether the canvas failed or the frame, but in the end, both disintegrated, but hopefully he doesn't have that problem with double trusses and the canvas holds up better.
He said that he will put permanent siding on it in a year or two, which I had considered for mine, but since it had slanted walls, I visualized MDF I-beams around the metal frame so I would have lots of space for insulation.
Effectively, I would build a new garage over the disposable one, but I got into grad school, and it fell apart.
This guy said that he built a pole barn for $10,000. Menards has what they call a kit, but it is basically a parts list, and you figure out the design yourself.
He said that he sunk the pressure-treated 4x4s 5 feet deep, but the floor is dirt, and he chose a row of greenhouse siding at the top instead of conventional windows to make everything cheaper and easier:
These guys said they built their 3-car garage for $3,000 6 years ago. They have a gravel floor and it looks like they have 6x6 posts in concrete footings, but the ceiling in the back only looks about 5.5' high.
Why am I watching people building garages?! I don't have the time, money, or space to build anything, let alone watch irrelevant videos!
