Dan, a Great Western customer from Grand Junction, Colorado, owns a pest control company and has a passion for classic cars. When he decided to expand his property and build a shop, he turned to GWB for his new building. Dan sat down for an interview with GWB and told us all about his building and his passion!
The building is a 40 x 60 gabled steel building that Dan decided to erect himself. This shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone fond of working on cars, but Dan doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty and getting the job done himself!
“I’ve always been up for a challenge. This was my first time building one of these buildings. I get great satisfaction out of doing stuff and seeing the finished product,” Dan told GWB.
He went on to explain how he did everything himself from the basic building erection to the interior components like the floors, putting framing an drywall together, and even installing a two-post vehicle lift. The shop is highly functional and even includes a full office with a complete bathroom and shower!
Like many customers of Great Western, Dan does have a bit of advice for any prospective builders. It’s something we hear as feedback a lot. If it’s within your budget and you’ve got the room; go bigger!
“One of the things I hear a lot of people say is that you should always go bigger. That is somewhat true if you have the room. After building this I do wish I had more square footage or I wish it were a little bigger,” said Dan.
Overall, Dan’s shop is an awesome example of using a steel building from GWB to make your dreams a reality. There are no shortage of folks who dream of having a shop like Dan’s and we’re happy to help make those dreams a reality, too. Just remember, if you’ve got the space, you might want to consider going bigger!
