I'm taking a chance here, because I haven't closed the construction loan yet.....

I'd like to share the build of my new home/shop in Florida with my friends here.

I have a contract on 1.36 acres of land (170'x396') in Lake Helen, FL and have drawn the initial plans for the building. The land is $100,500. The building is a metal structure that should come in around $110k.

Here are the plans and property location. Follow along. We'll have a party once I sign the construction loan.

Hopefully, once the thing is out of the ground, 914world.com members will stop by to take pictures for me.

The shop is down stairs and measures 75'x30'. The bay on the far left is open to up to the roof so I can install an overhead lift.

Congratulations!

I do have a question however. Is a metal building suitable for the Florida heat? I envision large air conditioning bills.

All new bulidings in Florida have to conform to an "Energy Code" which has minimum insulation requirements of the building. If it doesn't meet the code you don't get a permit.

And there are structural wind loads also to meet code, but this is far enough inland that a metal building can meet it.

Hey, your shop is going to be incredible! As I was looking at the map I noticed you are close to Sanford, FL. In the mid 80's I used to play indoor soccer in Sanford with some college buddies. Nice area, I wish you the best with your endeavor,

Joe,

All kidding aside, I've lived in Florida all my life and have worked in the construction industry for 25 years so if you need help with anything let me know. Design, Permitting and Construction can be a bitch for the first timer and in Florida it is a nightmare. And I've built about a dozen metal buildings. Thier somewhat easy but there are some tricks to them.

If I can help in any way let me know.

Paul: I hadn't considered a pole, but I'm sure one could be arranged.
Part Pricer: It will be very well insulated and it turns out metel meets wind code easier than conventional construction.
Rick: It's 'Turtle Mountain' and we have talked about it. You're welcome anytime.

Thanks very much Paul. I have a friend who is a metal building contractor in Orlando. He's taking care of me.

So how does your mortgage work on something like that? Is it considered residential or commercial? Is it deductible from your personal income or your business income?

Residential and deductible like a regular house.

Could you technically lease the shop space to Series9 and somehow reap some benefit that way?

BTW looks cool, any car guy would be jealous.
