    Woodshop + woodstove = no insurance?

    My dad and I were getting ready to put a wood furnace in his 40 by 80 polebarn. Insurance company would allow it, but rates would almost double. Dad bought one of those 8 by 8 foot metal garden shed kits. Set it up with the stove in it, 2 feet from the building. Piped the heat into the...

    Poor Man's Shop Finally Going Up

    That's why I love central Indiana. With the exception of a few towns, for the most part, in my county, if you own it, you can do whatever you want. No permits, inspections, etc. Except for installing a septic system.

    Backyard Pole Shed Build

    Kevin, ***** you had to restart the process, looks like its going right along now, though. I have to say, if the inspector told me I had to move the building, then came back afterwords and said he was wrong, I think I might have just made him a permanent part of the floor of the new shed. But...

    pole barn lifting

    you'd be cheaper to build a whole new polebarn, then maybe find someone who wants your old one, they can buy it from you, tear it down and rebuild on their property. then worse case, you can put a basketball goal on the old slab

    yard barn

    I will try to get pics later of the inside with the gravel in. to keep it from spilling out under the bottom purlin I covered the ground inside with heavy plastic and some left over roofing felt before hauling the gravel in. I covered the ground and then ran it up and stapled to the bottom...
