For the other floors, it needed 2x12 on 12" to span 20'.

I meant to put supported cantilever, but yeah, that doesn't mean cantilevered. LOL. I figured it can be done, but I can't figure out what to even call the setup, so I can research or see what others might have done. It will be an entire floor all to itself, just as a regular house floor. This...

What was the reason for not spraying right on the steel?

I don't know what to call this to look for ideas. We are putting up a metal building finally this spring, and we are going to build living space inside in 1/3rd of it. It will have 18' sidewalls, but to build a 3rd story, it won't have much height, even with a 4:12 roof. SO, my thought was to...

A guy about 75 miles away has 2" Dow XPS sheets that are 37x54, tongue and groove. $6 per sheet. BUT, they have 1/4"-3/8" of concrete on them. He says this is how they were made. He says they are for roofs of commercial buildings. Has anybody run across this stuff before? If it was used on the...

phatfred, how did this turn out? Are you still lurking on here?

We are going to be building a 50x75x18 by the end of the year. We thought of incorporating an elevated living space on the north side of the building. It would be 20x75x8/12? I'm trying to figure out how to plan the floor part of it. The building will have 3 25' bays, and to be able to use...

Updates?

Ok. Thanks for the replies!

Did you look in to Iowafoam.com?

Where did you rent a foam trailer from, and how much??

I'm getting everything together now for a 50x75x16 in NW Iowa. It will be a steel frame building with 3 bays. I was thinking of doing 8 6'x2.5' piers for the columns and then a 2'x8" grade beam for the perimeter. Our frost line is around 4' everywhere I've looked online. I was planning on...

HAHAHAHA. That is true. If I was your neighbor, I would like punch and cookies, but steak also.

I think it looks great! Good job. You should be proud. Whats even better is, you can work on cars now.

How about this......it's his land, he can do what he wants on it. :spit: What a concept. :lol_hitti:shocking::shocking::shocking::shocking: If he wants to build a swimming pool shaped like a body part, or paint his house green with pink dots, that's his house, and his property. If everyone...

Utah997 I saw bmwpower was asking the same thing I was wondering about the tunnel, but your responses are gone now. How did they pour it or build it to seal it up from water coming through the earth. I want to do a tunnel from one building to another in southern Utah, and can't quite grasp how...

I wanna keep an eye on this. Looks good!

That OSB looks AWESOME!!! Good job. I think the chair rail moulding looks great too.
