Nope... I wasn't the original owner. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Looking at that pic, it appears those posts were only sunk about 2 feet [emoji849] Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Oh yes, we remember that one very well! Luckily that doesn't happen very often Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Also, I would just like to say that if I'm wrong, I'm wrong. I'll stand corrected and I actually do like the discussion and good information. My former garage was a stick framed large garage and when the concrete started sinking and and heaving it started to do funky things to the building and...

And should we call this out as opinion and public math? What engineering resources are you citing here? For most of us, pole buildings make sense because we can have something much bigger for less cost. If stick frame is stronger, that's fine... It's not who is right, but what is right. Guys...

Bretny seems to know a lot.. Perhaps he can enlighten us. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Fair points, but that simply isn't the norm. Also, the issue of rotting posts seems to be overstated. I think it's an issue of poor drainage and amateur work. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

What if someone wants to insulate to a higher R value along with having fewer thermal breaks? Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

I did not say that the lack of load-bearing walls on the inside made the structure stronger. But whatever... [emoji849] I've had a stick frame oversized garage before and I'm never doing that again. You seem to know a lot, but you were asking why aren't most buildings made in post frame...

Sure! Posts are are usually sunk at least 4 feet into the ground, which transfers the load to the ground and you can optionally stand them on cement biscuits down in the hole as well. This also means that the interior walls are not load bearing, giving added flexibility for finishing and...

I agree and I'd say from a structural standpoint, you'd probably want a pole building to help support all that. And your interior framing would be easier as well (6x6 or 4x6 posts and then your 2x6 framing would fit nicely) Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Are you doing a pole building or just a stick frame garage? Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

IMHO, this is poor advice for somebody starting out or the occasional sprayer. He should not have to work that hard. Waid, for every pressure change you make at the gun you're going to have to change your fan pattern in order to get consistent results. If you don't, you could end up with dry...

I suppose you could, but it would be nice to be spraying paint so you could see when the pressure drop starts to affect your fan and the atomization of the paint. Like I said earlier, it's more a matter of the air volume, as opposed to the horsepower and CFM and how fast you can fill up the...

Custom painter here... Make sure you're asking the right question. Check this article for some eye-opening info. I doubt your compressor will work unless you want to paint one panel at a time (trust me, you don't) http://www.truetex.com/aircompressors.htm A lot of painters, including myself...
