Buyer’s remorse – we’ve all been there. We bought something we didn’t need (e.g., a motorcycle that collects dust in the garage). And, we didn’t buy something we should’ve (e.g., a house with plenty of storage room). In the moment of our buying or non-buying decision-making process, it’s hard to predict how our choices will impact our future. We don’t want to purchase something that won’t serve its purpose, but we don’t want to miss out on something useful.

Once you’ve pulled the trigger on building a pole barn, the anticipation sets in, and you can’t wait to see the final product. You start to visualize servicing equipment in your farm shop. You imagine how your combine and grain cart will look sitting side-by-side in your machine storage shed. Envisioning your finished post-frame building is easy. The tricky part is designing your pole barn and deciding which building components to incorporate.

There’s a vast array of options when it comes to finishing your post frame building, both inside and out. Deciding on the finishing touches is always the most fun, but finalizing these selections can seem far-fetched.

Summer is right around the corner in the Midwest, and it’s about to get hot and humid. After a long winter of minimal sun and bitter cold, we feel it’s time for the sunshine and the heat to make its appearance. Until we complain that it’s too hot and we’re ready for winter again.

You work hard for your money, so you want to ensure those dollars are properly spent. If there is a way to cut costs and keep the bottom line down, who wouldn’t want to take advantage of that? More and more people are looking to save their money instead of spending it all, and we can’t blame them.

When you hear the word “pole barn,” what do you see? Most people picture a red barn with a white roof, cupolas, and sliding doors for moving heavy machinery. It’s the epitome of a farm building in the rural Midwest. However, the latest construction trend is a pole barn with living quarters. Yes, you read that correctly. You may wonder, “Why would someone want to live in a barn?” Nowadays, building usage goes beyond the realm of agriculture.
