Anyone know how to get rid of the "attachment thumbnails" part of post #11 above while still having the larger images appear in the body of the post? I thought I did the same thing when uploading post #11 pictures as I did in post #8, which does NOT show the "attachment thumbnails" box at the...

Last 2 weeks were spent getting my chit somewhat together. Had 1 post hole that was not big enough, so had to get a mini-x to widen it by a whole 9 inches. Very expensive 9 inches. But, I did use the mini-x as a forklift and I moved most of the posts into position to be put into holes so the...

Thanks guys! Spent the evening covering up all the lumber in prep for the looming rain/snow over the next 2 days. I def have a few warped pieces already, dammit.

OK, realized I have a google drive so that should work for pics. Here's 3 pics from my Sketchup drawings that I made so I could see how things fit. Things are pretty much to-scale as best I could get them.

Ha, I appreciate that Shift! No, I have not built anything like this. What I've done a lot of is landscaping stuff, but no buildings/additions. I tiled a shower once...does that count? lol

OK, and yep, I see it in the post I just put up. I thought my past posts would get updated too but don't see that. Anyhoo, no biggie and thanks RB for letting me know its visible.

OK, setup the build thread, but when i look at my past posts I don't see anything in my sig. Does anyone else see the link?

Firing up a build thread for the [personal] insanity I have going. The basics: 40x64x18 Pole Barn Shingle roof 42x40 Shop 22x40 "Entertainment Center" ~29x40 mezzanine 28x8 lean-to (aka porch) Shingle roof for future solar indoor/outdoor bartop with 8'w garage door 12x14 overhead door 9x10...

Ugh, sorry to hear that. That's a bit extreme but yes city building requirements can hose you up. Did the city's pole building get that same foundation? I assume so if you're builder didn't say "they didn't require one when i built theirs". You may be able to apply for a waiver on it. Not...

Thanks all! I'll get a build thread going and update my sig line as you recommended. tjdux: I bought the building during the last day of what I think was their first 11% off sale of the year. I wasn't ready to buy it at that time from a progress standpoint, but I felt I better jump on that...

ha, I will, and I agree pics are very helpful! I'd be glad to start a build thread, but where should I put it? Seems like maybe a separate main category under "General Garage Discussion" for "Builds" would be good to put build threads in?

I just read something about your guy's approach today at work. I'll see if I can find it again tomorrow. It was full 2" XPS within so many feet of the edges, then down to 1" for some number of feet, then down to no insulation at all in the "center" of the floor. I'll see if i can find that...

Greetings all! Recently started a pole barn garage/shop/entertainment center. I say "entertainment center" because I've seen some kick-back when using a different term that rhymes with "candave". Anyway, my project is a 64x40x18 pole barn from Menards/Midwest Manufacturing. Designed it with...
