That looks like good advise DRIFTPIN. I built in northern California in rural area.

I would start by getting a rough idea on the design and then talk to one of the steel building manufacturers. I used Heritage Buildings and they did have a list of erectors in the area. I was the owner/builder contractor and did alll the plans and permits. I have draftsman draw plans but...

Would love to add to the shop. I have their vinyl flooring. Mike

What size building is it. For my Barndo, engineer would not let me attach anything to my red iron. Had to go 10 inches in from edge of slab for 2x's. I put bolts in slab for walls.

My slab and ground work was 50K, Building 66K with insulation and garage doors, Local company charged 25K to put up. So 141K for building. I installed garage doors. My lumber package was 17K 2x6x9 walls osb all the way around. TJI joist for second floor. We did a the work. Had a plumber...

I built that exact home. I put home in middle and 50x60 on one side and 1200sq ft "atrium" (for county purposes) which will be my showroom about 30 x 40. I have 1735 sq ft living on bottom floor and engineered it to put second story if I want (lots of storage for now). I did 20 foot eaves. I...

Stu on Moparts always said to use the Liftmaster

It's 32 sqft 4'x8' and I think it's like t-11 where they match up on ends.

When I built my Bardominium in a metal building I was told not to attach anything to building.

I went with a 50 gal Rheem hybrid heat pump and a recirculator in my 1735 sq ft with 2 occupants. This https://www.menards.com/main/plumbing/water-heaters/hot-water-circulation-pumps/watts-reg-hot-water-recirculating-pump/0955800/p-1444446169868-c-8646.htm gets hooked up to farthest sink. I...
