It's a little rocky for a 36-inch auger. And 10 of these would take me awhile to gig by hand. I did get the building permit. Will have an excavator to do the digging, so sonotubes it is. I would have loved to get a PE. But I had real trouble googling/searching and finding one. there's way too...

This is a hybrid pole barn, it's a self install, bolt together frame. It's similar to the 6x6 post and frame pole barns that are buried to the frost line. Only these sit on a cement.pier. Sent from my Pixel 3a XL using The Garage Journal mobile app

Those SPLs out of the speaker are one thing in the center of the garage or a whole other animal. I played in a metal band and no all about turning it up to 11. So if that's your desire I would get the QSC amps as other people have mentioned, or Crown. We used a lot of QSC amps, good quality...

Thanks, I was wondering how far apart your piers are? And how much snow you will have to account for? Sent from my Pixel 3a XL using The Garage Journal mobile app

Yes, my codes office required New York State stamped plans (for the building/trusses). Cost me an extra $1,200 to get in the New York state stamp. Seems that math works the same way in all states. Sent from my Pixel 3a XL using The Garage Journal mobile app

Thanks Matt_I, My codes guy did tell me that we need to go 48" to eliminate frost heave. As for the numbers, I thought the same thing. But I just figured I'm misinterpreting something. I'm not really sure what the VER and HDR in those columns represent. They did say something about kick out...

Actually, Perka is the only company I've talked to that has given me reasonable customer service. Michele has been honest, upfront and answered all of my questions, and for months and months before they ever saw a nickel. I cannot say the same for US Steel/Worldwide Steel Buildings, Pat was very...

Hi all, I'm just getting ready to build a Perka hybrid building model 4000. My codes officer required New York State stamped plans for snow loads, wind loads, and all that. I received those today. I was wondering if anyone knows foundations and load requirements? The codes officer seems...

Hi my name is Tom. I live in upstate New York and I'm getting ready to build a 40x40 hybrid Perka building, 4000 series. I'm in my mid-40s, and have mostly done technical support. So I'll be full of questions, and appreciate everyone's help. Thanks, Töm Sent from my Pixel 3a XL using The...

As many have stated, I believe the most important thing is to make sure you're not near your setbacks. For where I live it's 20 ft on the rear property line and 15 ft on the sides. However I'm sure it varies greatly from place to place. So if you're not anywhere near that you might not have a...

A little luck doesn't hurt either. We poured a boat ramp connected to a staircase into the lake and a sidewalk in the seawall about 20 years ago out at my parents camp, and that hasn't cracked either. I don't know if we missed any of the components but if we didn't it was luck. Not that we...

I would think for that kind of money. You could get custom fabricated doors made locally. Try calling a local welder and glass company.

Have you ever considered a hybrid building, like Perka? I'm getting ready to build a 40x40 model 4000.

I agree, if your going to wire it in and want a permanent solution I'd go with Ubiquiti / Unifi. If you want a quick down and dirty simple wifi solution I'd get a WiFi 6/AX paired set up from most any brand you've heard of. Most of the newer AX stuff I've seen is decent. Not going to compare...
