Getting ready to insulate my post frame garage/pole barn and I am looking for advice. About the project: Located in northern Ohio. 24x44x10 - scissor truss 4ft on center, drip stop applied to the underside of steel at the factory before install, vented soffit eves and ridge vent. I want to...

Wow, someone that has a worse inspector/inspections than I did. My posts had to be 24" wide holes, 4 feet in the ground and a 12" footer below. I personally believe that because I live in a city and it is a pole structure, my inspectors had no clue what they were looking at/inspecting to...

I appreciate the help. I will use the 304 outside as well and top again with 411 to smooth it out. I was going to remove that old slab on the side in front of the man door but running out of funds for the project and it is pitched away. So I figured if I pinned it hopefully should be fine...

I appreciate you taking the time and info. I started reading the thread and will continue to read it over the next few days. I am in a rush right now with only a week left of having a skid steer and a lot of stone to still move/compact and these heavy rains we keep getting flooding me out from...

Did you use the 411's under your concrete or clean 57's? I have had multiple concrete guys out here and a few of them are stating I need 4" of clean 57s before concrete and others are saying the top coat can be 304 or 411 limestone.

I live by Cleveland. I want to use stone or recycled crushed concrete over dirt for easier compaction. The pricing has been all over the place. Right now I am working on hiring a truck for half day/day which will cost 3-600 and the 304 (1.5" down to dust)stone is running from 15.50 to 22.00...

I was going to do the prep work and have a concrete finisher for the concrete. The entire outside will be built up with dirt. Do you see an issue with filling the entire inside with stone? Or is dirt needed for frost on the inside as well?

I will call a few concrete guys tomorrow to see what they recommend and/or what they want to work off of. Thanks for the suggestion.

Our frost depth is 42" but my city made me use the Ohio generalized code which was 60" down from where the grade will be (in this case concrete height). The posts are 48" down from grade sitting on top of 12" of poured concrete. But, in the back area where the fall is at, they are not as deep...

Hello all, I recently had my 24x44 pole barn put up. The area where the barn was placed had a small garage demolished in the front half and the entire property has a slope in the rear. I tried to level the area the best I could with the allowed time. Unfortunately this left the entire area low...
