I wish my pad could have been on the ground like yours , I got some quotes prior to starting it but they were through friends of friends so the cost wasn't as high as what you got but Im on a tight budget so I had to try putting it up myself. I got a quote to finish it but i need to get my...

Yup Im in Arizona its been well over a 100 all last week and no end in site. 102-109* all week coming up. I really want it done but its going to have to wait unless I can afford to pay someone but i would rather spend the money elsewhere like on the electrical or the roll up doors my cars etc...

Haven't done anything on the garage in a few weeks, just don't have time plus its been over 104 degrees and doesn't look like its going to let up anytime soon. Im waiting on some price quotes to get the rest put up and finished. If its reasonable I just have it done.Ill post more progress...

Looks like their framing design is the same as mine, Bison is located in MN but they ship their steel out of Texas and California. I guess being closer saves some money with shipping. Hopefully it works out for you, if not give Bison a call and talk to Denny, its worth a call to get a price...

A few more pics

Going backwards with the photos but had some problems posting but got it figured out. The footings had to go 24" deep on the side where the wash flows the rest had to be a min of 12".

Its 40'x80' I do have insulation for it . I started building it myself with help from friends who have experience with this kind of construction . Ive been renting a scissor lift and using ladders, so far its pretty straight forward and I haven't had any real problems.......yet
