    Steel arch Like or dislike?

    My drawings had a design load of 85 lbs for snow. I have what steelmaster refers to as the X model, so no vertical walls.

    Spray foam insulation for ceiling

    The respirator is a good point to make. When they were spraying mine i took a walk over and asked the guy if i could poke my head in and look. He was hesitant to say yes, but then said you really need to hold your breath. I opted to wait 24 hours before walking in, and even then i didn't stay...

    Steel arch Like or dislike?

    I just built my steel arch building this summer. I did the spray foam insulation and so far hearing has been pretty easy. Depending on the temps I'm about 1 bag of wood pellets a day. The biggest drawback I have found is mounting anything to the walls. Had I thought about it, I would have...

    Spray foam insulation for ceiling

    I just had my 30x36 quanset hut done in spray foam. It ended up around 3-4 inches thick and sealed the building up pretty well. I also looked at the DIY kits and after seeing how this stuff is applied I am glad I had a professional do it. That chemical is pretty nasty, and if the mix is wrong it...

    that water is a bummer. I am battling a similar issue with my hut and the snow collecting at the base. when it builds up and the snow pack against the metal melts it ends up seeping under my base plates. This is 99% my fault as when i was laying out the base plates I got them square and perfect...

    Finaly, my 30x36 retreat.

    I have it down to just under 4 bucks a day. I wait for our local menards to put pellets on sale. This batch was 3.81 a bag if memory serves me correctly. I purchased 2 tons this last round, which should take me somewhere into march. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I have a love/hate relationship with the pellet stove. I love that I can use a thermostat on it and it's fairly cheap to run. What I hate is storing the pellets and hauling them around. I did run a propane line as well but I had the pellet stove sitting unused in my basement. So far I am...

    Finaly, my 30x36 retreat.

    I was on call all last week and unable to make a lot of progress. I did however get one of my boxes moved in and some other equipment. I have also decided to start framing the walls out and adding fiberglass insulation in the walls. My goal is to heat with a candle ;) Sent from my iPhone using...

    Making house and shed "smart"

    Thanks! The Quonset hut is definitely a different bird. While working on getting my upper garage door track mounted i was having a fantastic time locating the bolts in the upper section under 3-4 inches of foam. It looks like the guys that sprayed the upper section layed it on a lot thicker...
