Well, I'm hoping they don't, as they are the largest builder in the 9 western states. They have built over 12,000 buildings is what I've been told. They also invented the perma column, which I used in this shop. Sent from my SM-G977U using Tapatalk

See if you can get a hold of post on pipe. These are 4x4 cedar posts that have a galvanized pipe inside, then you could set these a little higher and form a small amount of concrete to be a pseudo wall of sorts. Would be pretty simple to frame, couple of 2x6s or 2x8s, and being its not...

They did pre-drill the holes, would they get reamed out removing and reinstalling? Thus causing further leaks.....thats my worry Sent from my SM-G977U using Tapatalk

Depends on the rock, my contractor had a rock bit, it went about as far as the standard bit. I ended up digging them with my mini-ex. I had to bring my grade up a little, I used 3/4 crushed minus as it was the cheapest at the closest pit. Hauling to my site can get costly otherwise. Here is a...

No he wasn't. When I called the crew lead, he said he told them, only because I can speak Spanish, did the crew on site tell me that he never told them that, but of course they would say that, they are the ones in hot water for installing backwards. At the end of the day its not my...

They would definitely be paying for new metal, what the hell am I paying top dollar for to have a building installed if I need to be the general and babysit the crew? This is the whole reason I hired this company. Also, ill mention this isn't a fly by night operation, they are one of the largest...

The contractor brought it up to me, and I replied, that a great call, let's make sure to install it this way. My wife is from this area, where I used to lived not so much. The first things all our friends and family said to us when we bought this property was that the wind can really blow at...

Exactly, I guess my question is how to proceed from here. This isn't the first thing they have done. It started with not showing up as scheduled. One time I get it, second because of covid, understandable, 3rd time I'm frustrated but accept it, 4th time I'm a little pissed and voice my...

Eastern oregon, and live near the mountains, it was blowing 60 mph the other night. The wind was making the felt on the window jams in the bedroom whistle so loud both the wife and I woke up. Once the rain started in, the whistling stopped but it was sounded like someone throwing rocks at the...

I'm having a 40x60x16 shop being built and the other day the contractor and I had a discussion to install the metal roofing so they started away from the prevailing wind and worked towards it. At our place the wind can really blow at times from the south, so we both agreed the best idea is to...
