Ok, the plans specified "3/16'' galvanized cable" for bracing. The contractor did NOT install them.

Well, there's always that one who has to "wade in". This pole barn was required to have engineer drawings, was built by a local contractor according to the drawings, and was inspected by the county building official. I'm no engineer so, I just had to take their word for it. The slab is 5''...

This pole barn is 32x72. Half of it will be a small "warehouse" with pallet racks on two sides and a roll door on one side for moving tractors and equipment in and out. The studs here are 2x6 pine on 24'' centers. I want to put blocking in between for strength. I will be screwing or nailing...

My concrete man was supposed to put a little cut-back between these poles so that, when the roll-door is down, water doesn't come under the door into the shop. Well, he forgot to do it. So he sent a worker out the next day with a diamond saw and did this...... He says he will come back and put...

Yeah I bought a brand new compactor, wasn't aware that it was not an adequate one.

Shot it with the rotary laser again yesterday evening and it's still dead-on. The self leveling feature is nice. I loaded up my little yanmar tractor and will take it to the site Monday I'm going to try moving some of the dirt with a small box blade. After that I might put one of the land...
