Joe if you click on the link, you will find pictures of my pole barn build. Although my build is larger than your plans, you can see that I poured my concrete after the roof was up and this will give you a good idea of a classic pole building construction...

Here's the only picture I have of the door from the inside. Yes the concrete is poured up against the skirt board.

Do you want pictures of the door framing or the framing of the porch? The wood on the bottom of the outside is treated ground contact lumber, on the inside is concrete, the outside is backfilled with dirt.

Thanks for the comments, I'm pretty proud of my cheapness !!! Still have some things I want to do to the shop, just taking my time and enjoying it. Beavo, I live near Okeana, located about 10 miles west of Hamilton, 10 miles south of Oxford, close to the Indiana border.

Mine did the same thing, I took the switch off and welded a small extention on it. works fine now. To me it wasn't that big of a deal, I just considered it an adjustment.

Just a heads up, Yes one place says 4 gallons, another says 12 quarts and I'm glad I bought the 5 Gallon container. because I know it took more than 4 gallaons even though I had a small spill.

The cure and seal was ordered with the concrete and came on the first truck, I think it was about $80 per 5 gallon container, maybe less but not much if it was. I don't mind answering questions again. I installed 18 total T-8 light fixtures, the front row and rear row fixtures are 4 bulb...

I'm also a certified mechanic. I plan on retiring in a little over 2 years and will also supplement my retirement with a little side work. It will be nice to walk out the back door to go to the shop. It will also be great to be able to pick and choose what type of work I want to do. Also I...

The specs. for my lift call for at least 4" at 3000 psi concrete. Thats right out of the installation manual. What it would be for a 4 post lift, I don't know. It could probaly be found on the web site of the lift that you are considering. My concrete was poured 6" deep 4000 psi and I did not...

So it wasn't that hard to install, very few issues, make sure you have the skills to tackle this job, the right tools and don't be afraid to ask questions. One other thing to pay attention to, when bleeding the cylinders, in the instructions it states to not turn the bleed screws all the way...

The electrical work wasn't that hard, just pay attention to the wiring diagram and you shouldn't have any problems. I did make one change, which was to add a circuit breaker box and an additional 30 amp circuit breaker, to be used as an emergency shut off. The reason this was done is because...

I then finished installing the cables and hydraulic lines and then it was on to the electrical work. Just a tip here, when adjusting the cables, the instructions were vague on exactly how tight they were suppose to be. it just says taut So I called Jeff at BendPak, he had given me his cell...

The total was $2705.00 that included tax, shipping, everything. But that was with me picking it up at the trucking terminal in Cincinnati, which was no problem at all. As far as the building specifics, if you click on the link below, it gives all the details of my build...

I then positioned the right post in place,but not yet drilling and installing the anchors, until I installed the top trough. The top trough wasn't that heavy, but it was awkward, I carried it up the ladder and my son helped me position it. glad that part was over.
