Is that a '75 kz400?

Things are moving now! Monday the trusses etc. were delivered. My dog "TURBO" is inspecting too! hehehehe Tuesday they dug the holes and I helped mix cement for the footings. Good thing I had 2 wheel barrows laying around! The code guy wanted a wet pour and wouldn't accept just tossing bags...

I'm going to use Shirk. Leon, is the man over there! Very easy going and always willing to help. I looked at about 7 different pole building builders too. My build date is 7-20-09. If anyone uses them, drop my name as I get a few $$$ if you sign a contract. :beer:

Its been awhile........my brothers boss was looking for free shale for a solid base and had 10 tri axle loads put in! Almost ready for the guys from Shirk to come and put up the building. :rocker: I'll post pics asap.

Here is some more pics. Its getting there.......

Really? I see the pic..... He got alot done and is coming tomorrow too. Pics coming after my sons baseball game......

Well, he dropped the backhoe off today and said he'll be here 8am. :beer: I'll be sure to take pics for ya'll.

Ok, ok, guys........Here is my bro taking out a stump. I called him yesterday and he's coming over Sat. to do more prep. work. :beer::thumbup::bowdown:

Figured I start my own thread to share with everyone here. Few weeks back got the permit to build. My brother offered to do the site prep for cheap. :thumbup: He came over on 5/9 for only a few hrs to dig some stumps as he got a call for another job. :( I'm hoping he can come this weekend!

12k!! Wow, i'd buy a machine and do it myself...... Should I be able just to skim the top layer(6" or so) and lay recycled concrete for a base? My bro sad they have a vib. roller to compact it with too. I just don't any problems down the road.

Need help.......ok, my bro came over with a backhoe to remove a few stumps and to dig a test area. In the rear of the building he went down about 3' before hitting shail. He's going to ask some people whats the best thing to do but figured I ask here too. I'm slightly holding back on signing a...

Looks great! I can't wait for mine to be up. At first, I was going to do the same.......30x40x12 with 2 10x10 overheads but a friend convinced me to do just one 12x10 and another 10x10 on the other gable end to drive thru & get cross winds/sun light in the summer. You getting a 2 post, 4...

30x40x12 building, 1-12x10 & 1-10x10 overheads with glass, 12" overhangs on all sides, 3 ply 2x6 glu-lam posts, ridge vent, 2-3x4 windows, 48" wainscoting, 110 mph wind load, steel roof and sides. Total with sealed plans came to $15,960 without floor. All the little things really add up. It...

Got my permit!!!!!! WOO HOO!!!! Should be up in May sometime.

When my pole building is up, i'm going to want a wood burning stove. I am getting metal roof and sides.......will I have any problems with water leaks if I go straight up thru the roof? Any pics around how you seal up there? Thanks!

I was told I can go up to 35ft peak..........

Still need to sign a contact but handed in the sealed plans. Waiting on the permit.....I'm probably going with Shirk. Price has gone up some as I added 2 windows, wainscoting, 1' overhangs on all sides, 3 2x6 glue lam. posts, 110 mph wind rating, 10x12 & 10x10 overhead doors. Building will be...

Nice! Good to see a fellow rider! I'm putting up a 30x40x12 to hold my 30+ motorcycle collection and will 99% sure will install a wood stove too. I like the plywood sides........might do that myself when I get more $$.

No, I wasn't planning on that. It would be nice but kinda thought it isn't that strong. I just want the building up now! I've been wanting something to work in sence I was 15yrs old. I'm now 35 and tired of waiting!!! I just hope everything works out and I'll be happy with it. BTW, its a...
