OK. I settled a plan with NBC. I with held 20% and already paid the other since the structure and the majority of the work was done correctly. Also I had 14 days to make payment so the fraud thing didn't come into play. The owner was quick to work with me plus I kept him the loop prior to...

Skeeto, thanks. I was planning to do just that with the letter. Its a real shame. I really had high hopes for this building. I will steer clear next time of companies that use subs like this to do their work.

OK, so it sounds like I made a mistake with the check. However I did notify national barn prior to doing it. What should I do next? Should I pay them now on good faith they will come back and fix it and prevent the whole fraud thing? I guess the main thing saving me is they didn't live up to...

Yep. I just how they don't try to put a lien on me. But contract states they have to build it with the specs which they didn't. Left stuff off. anyone have any photos of what trim around vents should look like? Do I need to get a lawyer just in case?

Need your alls opinion. Take a look at the attached photos and tell me if you think this is a good barn. Lol. National barn north east built it. The sub was a joke. Take a look at the framing around the gabel vents. Sub claims that was the best he could do because the scioor truss is in...

I do wish I would have had your alls input when I did my house though like Charles suggested with the all in one box. Live and learn

Thanks so much. After I read your alls post it all came together in my head. This won't be that bad at all. I am running my circuits in the garage and having an electrician tap into the sub lugs. I just wanted to have an idea what all needed to be done so I could understand. Thanks again for...

Will do tomorrow. Power company made me have either a disconnect or load center put in to get the higher amp service. I hope I don't have to have a lot done.

Question. For you guys. I have 320 amp service ran to my meter base. Power company called it (400 amp) service. Part of the 320 goes to my 200amp panel in the house which still has room. Other went to a 200 amp outdoor load center. He is the thing I didn't realize the electrian used part of...

Do you have any completed photos? I am in the process of building the same size.

Zoning Permit complete. Engineered Plans just came in. Now I just need the building permit approved with the plans and we are set to go. Plan is to rough grade the site during thanksgiving.

After careful planning and talking with NHB I pulled the trigger on a 30x32x12 building this morning. Ended up going to that size to meet my budget because the wife wanted wainscot, copala, and 1' overhangs all around. I had it framed out for (2) 10x10 overhead doors. Went with the dutch...
