Thank you for the responses. The problem I see with doing it last is it would seem like the concrete dust will catch on the drywall texture and create more clean up issues. I have a floor finisher coming over tomorrow to talk about some options. I have saw cut joints, what are you guys using...

Hello all, I am in the process of building a barndo. The concrete was poured about 16 months ago and power troweled flat. Concrete work turned out nice, some cracks as expected but overall nice. My walls are all complete and ready for insulation then drywall within the next month. First...

Congratulations on your new place. It looks great. Maybe you could roll out carpet over the wood floor and roll it up when in use as a party barn. Tough to keep wood floors nice otherwise. Thanks for posting

Stay away from Empire Steel. They did me wrong.....still fighting though.

The pad under what you see in the picture is about 6x5 and 5 foot deep. There was so much steel in the hole It was unreal.

Thank you Zeke.....options but not many good ones. There are bolts on the other side. The problem with it being out of plumb is that when I drive in my driveway I notice it every time after my neighbor pointed it out. I guess I could get a picture of a pretty girl and put it on the other end...

Thank you all for the advise. I am thinking of taking Redheads way and see if the contractor will complete the work. Like I said to start with if they would have measured it to start with this could have been fixed with a lot less effort. As for this crazy state. I live in northeast Ca...

Sorry Sorry for the delay on my response. Also sorry the picture posted twice, I could not figure out how to delete one. The bolts you see are 3/4 of an inch too close to the near side of the picture. I hope this helps, and thank you to the plum folks, the world is a better place with you in it.

About 9 months ago I had a 22x48 red iron carport built at the same time as my red iron shop. After construction was complete and the crew gone a neighbor let me know the column was out of plum. We checked it and it was off by over an inch with an 8 foot level. The concrete was poured by a...

I just finished my shop and I went with the Raynor Aspen. They are r19 and well built. I also went with the high lift and liftmaster 8500. The doors are the first thing people ask about when they come to the shop.

Thank you guys very much....I feel better now. Like I said before, I just didnt know and the engineer had me spooked. I guess he was wrong. I will have another post about my windows later to ask for more advise.....stand by.

He used a torque wrench set to the foot pounds for a 3/4 inch and a 7/8 inch bolt. They were like 325 lbs or so. I did not set the wrench I just helped tighten the bolts. There were gaps between the plates that the engineer pointed out. Some you could just see light where others you could...

The engineer was a great guy who went with me in the lift and helped me tighten every bolt that needed to be inspected. We spent 3.5 hours on a friday afternoon completing the task. He explained that it was not my fault and he wanted to help me. He let me know if the construction crew was...

Hello, we have just completed our 50x112 metal barn. I had the special inspection for the bolts. The engineer arrived and we tested the tightness of the bolts only to find to 80% were not to "code". I called the construction company who installed the building and he said the bolts were set to...

So sorry that this happened but happy you are rebuilding. Good luck I hope it all turns out perfect.
