Are you running water in for a kitchen or at least a drop sink as well as a Bathroom and piping that to existing septic? /QUOTE
The plan is to run toilets only into the septic tank, and all other drains will run into a gray water drain out on the ground away from the house since gray water isn't toxic
I've been working with the guy that's doing the technical drawings on Auto CAD and the plans are very close to being finalized. Once this is completed, I'll go meet with the metal building people and they will give me a price for the shell and slab (does not include the direct work)
On the plans, it looks like in the center of the shop will be about 18 feet tall which should be enough to life a fill size vehicle all the way up.
If I can figure out how to post a PDF doc, I could post the house plans although it’s not quite done yet (it’s pretty close)
I'll be talking with a car life company before long so if there need to be more height, we can increase the pitch of the roof if need be. The guy doing the plans said he had the pitch not very steep, so I should be able to increase that if need be.
One of the car life manufacturers said ion their website that 4 inches of rebar reinforced concrete is all that's needed. I'll probably go with 6 inches at least, and I'll be using a 4 post commercial grade life (like an automotive shop would have) so the weight will be spread out and is is a drive on lift

It sounds like your barn is going to be a pole type construction? /QUOTE
No, it’s going to be all steel framed, bolted to large bolts that are embedded in the slab when they pour the slab similar to a commercial building.
