so long story short, I put the pole barn on craigslist and sold it in a couple days. Guy came and looked at it, asked what I wanted and I said make an offer. $300 was the offer and that was including him tearing it down and hauling it away. I accepted the offer and a week later he came out with...

we were going to fix this barn doing something similar to what you are saying or using cement permacolumns. If you have enough time on your hands and fix the water intrusion problem, you can probably fix your situation. My barn was over 35 years old and the columns were not even treated. It...

Hello all. I can't start off by saying "I've been lurking awhile" however, I have discovered this awesome forum a year ago when I was searching how to fix my pole barn which is over 35 years old and every 6x6 post is rotted at the end. That caused a snowball effect and also the realization that...

So...I finally am selling my rental house and can fund a pole barn. After talking to a few custom building erectors, we have come to the conclusion that it would be to much time, effort and money to save this "old" rotted pole barn. The trusses are to old and would need modifying to even...

When you say reached its economic life, are you saying if this was your building you would tear down and start over? Just wondering what you're implying. I understand that posts like this havea life expectancy of 30 or so years. My thoughts are there is about $10-12k of material I would be...

I had a guy from Structural Building Inc. come out and give me a quote on repairs. He said that they would dig down to frost line (4 ft.) and bolt on a green treated 3 ply 6x6 on each side of the rotten post to where the post is solid. He said he would not cut off the rotten post because of the...

After a snow melt or rain I get standing water around the whole inside of the building which explains the rotten posts. It does get dry in the summer so I think, this pic of it dry is when I looked at the house in the fall

Hello everyone, new guy posting here and looking for some advice, tips or if you know of threads with similar builds that you could link to me so I can gather more info on what to do with my situation. I just bought this house in December in Forest Lake, MN. So we only get so many months to work...
