^^ Good info there thank you! I was nervous about the temp so that's good to hear. I met with him again today, and he took me to another building he did in two pours. I can say that honestly looked great, and was hard to tell. The joint was slightly larger than the saw cuts, but overall looked...

Talking to him more today, he said by doing a cold key joint (or something like that), I won't have any issues with slab separation, or un evenness. And that the gap will not be as big as I think. (I'm expecting like expansion joint size) The area was flat to begin with, we brought in 8...

Well the problem with that is, as I'm sure a lot of you know, after the construction of this, my wallet is pretty light. I have no idea on which kind I'm getting, so the idea was if I did 6", down the road when I can get a lift, I can put it anywhere. The concrete is 3000 with fiber, and the...

From the research I've done, I thought 6" was plenty for a lift?

thanks for all the input! The barn is going to be used as a shop. working on the truck or tractor, etc, storing stuff, planning on getting a lift, etc. The main barn slab is 40x48. the lean to's are the 16x48, but only the enclosed 16x15 portions on each side are getting concrete. That was the...

yea i figured itd be a nuisance to have in the middle of the garage. As far as the reason, he didnt really have one. My barn has 16' wide lean to's on each side, and the back 15' is enclosed. They will be getting concrete to. So he told me theyll do half of the main building slab, and one lean...

Havent made a build thread yet (but is coming), but im just about done my 40x48x16 pole barn. We were going to do concrete (6") tommorrow and friday, but today my concrete guy calls and says he wants to do my floor in 2 pours, instead of 1 like we had originally talked about. So, i guess my...

Awesome, thank you

So I'm in the process of building my 40x48 pole barn (starting a build thread when I get some time) The question I have here, I've had my materials for about a month. We've been plugin away on this thing in our free time. Everything has been tarped since its been delivered, but with the rain...

Good call on the permanent ones I like that idea this will be a shop/garage/hang out area

I've tried searching but couldn't come up with a whole lot. I'm in the process of building my barn, 40x48x16 with 16' lean to's on each side, And 16x12 portion closed in. At this point, I'm going to have to decide on wether I should run my electric behind the walls, then insulate/hang osb. OR...

Definitely old phone line. I work for the power company here. On average, I go on about 10 calls a week about "down powerlines", which in reality are these phone lines.

Now that I have not read, I'll have to look Into it more. Can anyone shed any light on this?

Bull, I've tried searching and could not find any 8' fiberglass rolls, where did you get yours? I've heard both sides of the double bubble. The main reason I'm doing it is because I pushed for a little bit bigger building than I originally planned, so I may not be able to insulate it for a...

I know this has been beaten over and over, but I've searched and couldn't really find any help. My building is delivered, and am starting this weekend. 40x48x16, 8' post spacing, 4' truss. I will be using the space as a garage/shop, and will eventually be heating it. Im in northern MD. So we...

Call your utility before you pay anyone to come out. I'm a "servicd operator" for out local utility, and we handle all these type calls, really anytime someone calls in about something electric we check it out. Anyway, if it seems like "half" your house is working and half isn't, you could have...
