The barn is definitely coming along very quickly. They look like an awesome team. It has been a long road to this point, but I am happy for you to see the actual project going up in a day(ish).
Wow, very nice. I really like your building. I've always had garage type doors too. The last door i installed was on the front of my garage its 16x8' tall. A very big mistake on my part. In the winter months mostly, as my garage is heated when opening the door you loose a lot of heat. Then, it takes a while to warm up inside. Looking forward to your sliding type doors. Great idea when you think about it.You only need to open up as much as needed. Gonna be great when you get this finished.
My sliding doors invited birds. First the summer swallows and then a larger winter bird. After many hours spent up and down ladders I finally got enough bird block, screen mesh, and netting to deter them.
Looks good, question... Without a moisture barrier between the bare wood and sheetmetal how do you stop the wood rott, when the sheets condensate? Just curious
Roof has a moisture barrier. I have not seen condensation on the sidewall yet. I assume since it's not insulated the temperature is the same inside and out not. Now my insulated garage could be 38 degrees inside and if we get a warm spell and I open the garage door, everything is covered in condensation.
I put steel on my new lean to roof last summer and the place I bought it from says roof metal screws go on the ribs. Walls off the ribs. And looking around my area 90% are like that. I notice they did your roof different.
Most U.S. metal roofing manufacturers say that you should put screws into the flat, because this location offers a solid wood surface just beneath the metal panel, resulting in a safer, tighter, more secure seal. That's how my house roof is also. Take Care, Tom
I have to ask and this may be a dumb question but at the beginning, you said you poured 80 pounds of dry concrete in the holes and then filled in with dirt. Can you elaborate? I have not used the dry concrete before and was wondering when you poured in the water. Was it concrete, then water, then dirt? Sorry for such a dumb question.
It was concrete. In my area the ground is wet enough to not need water as the concrete will suck it out of the ground. The pills were placed first, then post, concrete, and filled.
@@ataleofthreecabins1025 So you are saying that you did not use the 'dry concrete mix' that I have been seeing on projects and just regular concrete that one would normally add water to? Wow. Very cool. I'm in Hawaii and would think, at least where I live that there is plenty of moisture in the ground as well. I like the 'pill' idea, I have not seen those around here. Mahalo for getting back to me so soon.
amazing build but where is the PPE? i've worked with propaneling and sheet metal and lost fingers because of it. should've had those boys wearing gloves, eye protection, and head protection at very least. nevermind the tshirts and shorts. shame on you for risking these boys livelihoods for cheap labor. OSHA would have heyday with this build.
