Hi all, Floor is looking good so far! The builder cut the slab into approximately a 10x10ft grid.

I am having concrete poured tomorrow on floor of pole barn. It is a 30 x 40 ft building with a 10X40 ft lean-to shed. Two 10 ft wide garage doors are located on gable end approach. Any thoughts on control joint placement? 5 inch thick in main building and 4inch thick in lean-to shed. Heavy steel...

Thanks to you all. I have 5 LED lights hanging and 3 of the really bright halogen work lights. It is like daylight in there even though it is 10pm and pouring rain. Thanks again. Will probably use some of your suggestions for permanent lighting. Feel free to help with my next question regarding...

I also notice that the OSB covers up to the roof line and blocks the area that air flow would enter from soffit vents?

From the pictures I saw it was only on the one side.

I have the same type building going up next month. Was anything placed in hole under posts? Poured Concrete? Sack of dry concrete? Concrete block?

Thanks. For clarification, this is not my barn pictured. I am having one built next month and am researching as much as I can to know what to look for when it goes up.

Does anyone know the purpose of this OSB on top of walls in pole barn? Does it add to the strength or provide additional bracing? Thanks in advance.

Individual blocks sounds as if result of control joints/cuts. You can probably still get Roundup in South Carolina and the road salt isn't a concern as up here in NY!
