The welder is the 215 but it had tig attachment not sure the brand. Not really sure how he had it attached either. The gas cylinder was leased I’m sure, I’ve got another friend that works for the gas company who would probably let me take over the lease on it. I figured half on the welder and...

Recently a very close friend to me passed away, he was a father figure to me. Anyways I’m helping his wife clean up around their house and in his shop. He has a Vulcan 215 mig welder with HF welding cart and a pile of wire and tips etc. and a gas cylinder. I’m very interested in the setup. How...

Any issues with spraying directly to the double bubble for the roof? A couple said to remove in case the roof ever leaks. They think that the water would cause the closed cell to collapse due to the water weight.

Any body out there?

Link is back working. Apparently their site crashed.

Please do. It’ll be a few weeks before I order. Hoping they get my metal up on the outside pretty quick. I want to get the floor done and then insulate the walls. Trying to decide on how to do my electrical. Either exposed conduit or behind the metal panels. Any advice there?

How many of the ones you linked do you recommend?

Weird, their entire website is down.

Metal truss with either 2x4 or 2x6 wood purlins will be used.

I have posted before about building a pole barn in the next few months. I have the option of either wood or metal trusses for my shop. For those who have used metal how do you guys insulate the roof? I know spray foam is an option but many people do not recommend spraying directly to the...

Stupid question if I go ahead and dig down and bring it up with stone etc how do i keep it all contained? As in where I will dig for post holes and my general area of where the building will be.

Heaviest thing I have is a 55 hp Ford tractor ag the moment. Not sure if it will go in the shop or not. I do plan to get a lift when I get the shop built.
