Quick update...copy of engineer drawings are headed my way. UC4A posts are out and half the the ones up as of yesterday. Weather has been snowy, icy and bitter cold here but warm up starting and builder should be making some rapid progress. On the plus side the new posts are actually UC4C rated...

In regard to the drawings...I do not have a copy in my hands. We went over the exact layout in regard to dimensions, window/door/overhead door size and placement. Everything is pretty basic in that regard. The builder told me he would have his engineer contact go straight from what we laid out...

Thanks for all the input folks. I spoke with my uncle who has been in construction and building inspecting his entire career and he eased my mind a bit on the gravel but confirmed my concern on the treatment. I sorted through the Ohio Revised Code and found they reference AWPA U1 section 4 for...

Of 7 contacts only 2 responded and only one was available this year. So that pretty much narrowed it down s far as bids go. The site...

"Basic insulation" I'm assuming will be the foil bubble wrap or "double bubble" type, but I will get clarification on that for sure as I don't recall what was in my neighbors building. I'll walk over and check that out tomorrow. Glad to hear it sounds reasonable, I was thinking so from my...

As title says, I've been an avid peeping Tom on this forum for years. Waiting...hoping...praying and working by **** of to hopefully get my shop built one day. Well, that day has finally come, or will very shortly to be more accurate. I'll try to keep this thread to the topic of the title though...
