They make beautiful buildings.
Sorry...I meant that in a general term. The folks that did Mike's 30+ years ago are long gone.Who does?
This is a metal building with a house and guest apt. in the front portion of the structure. The second story has a master bed/bath that open to the balcony/deck.
@Daleo8803 You could probably achieve the same results on a smaller scale with a pole building. Maybe look at some pole building "construction" books and also take a look at how the houses are built along the beachfront. Most all of them are "pole" constructed.
Just saw a episode of Fixer upper where they re-did a pole barn home. Turned out super nice. And Yes before anyone says it I know those shows are fake. Look at a few designs on Morton.com myself for future reference.
We just finalized the land now I have to research these since I’ve looked at SIP and modular already. Sent the an email with a few questions but if I could build one of the homes on top of a basement that would be awesome.Your first step is to check your local building and permitting office. In many counties, they will not allow a residence inside a pole barn because it's not built to residential code.
If you want to look at some truly stunning barn homes, check the DC Custom Builders website. Prepare to be blown away!

I am getting plans ready to build in the near future. Not a pole barn house but my shop will have a small climate controlled din/cooking area.
Someone told me that lumber prices have doubled in the last 3 months a 2x10 has went from $25 to almost $50. Makes me want to wait till prices come back down.
That's not entirely true. I just bought 1] green 2x10x12 for $23 and 16 2x10 x16 nontreated for $18I am getting plans ready to build in the near future. Not a pole barn house but my shop will have a small climate controlled din/cooking area.

The way they do their framing and all is something to behold. Roof purlins on top of the trusses is a 2x4 standing on edge with 1 yes one 60 penny ring shank nail drove down through it. If a post ever rots, they’ll come out and can replace it without too much hassle. They’re expensive, but they’re good to their customersWe do dumpsters for Morton projects around our area. I didn't know they did homes with them as well. Sooooo, I went down that rabbit hole and I can honestly say they would be high on my list if I ever build a home.
Friend of mine is a salesman from the Lexington office. DennisMorton out of Lexington did a 30x50 w/14' eve for me about six years ago. It's utilitarian with a epoxied concrete floor on the inside, cutesied-up a little on the outside. Their crew was absolutely superb. I have not one single complaint. If I was starting on a new residence I would start by talking to the same bunch.
The only advice that I have on buying or building a home is buy or build the largest you can comfortably afford. If you simply build or buy the size you think you want you'll most likely regret it down the road.
