    Need advice for insulating a conestoga 30' 28' pole garage

    I have a 30X40 Conestoga with a 8/12 pitch ( sounds like you and I had the same saleman) and I'm going to have the walls sprayed. The first contractor told me he would give me 4 inches of open cell foam for $3300. I wanted closed cell foam but he said it was a marketing ploy. I think he makes...

    24x32 Custom Post-Frame in Virginia

    Nice build. I had CBStructures build a 30X40 for me a year and a half ago. Building is great but the guy that build the structure poured the slab too. My slab is cracked in many places and he had to came back because he only put two short cuts (on the 30 foot direction). The manager admitted...

    Liftmaster LA400, LA100 or something else for swing gate operator?

    I just had dual Apollo 1600's installed for my two ten foot chain link gates. Lots of bells and whistles, long range remotes (1500'), entry, shadow and exit loops, siren sensor for emergency vehicles...Love it, but it wasn't cheap. My gates are 600 feet from my house. Totally solar powered...

    32x40 Pole Barn Build Thread

    When they built my 30X40X12 pole barn, they wrapped the 2X4s around the building every two feet. Does your plans call for 2X4s placed between the posts? What will hold the posts from moving? I'm just asking, no smart *** intended. I am not that familiar with all building types of construction.

    Another Spray foam question

    I got a quote from a guy for my walls in my 30X40X12 pole building. I asked for closed cell foam and he starting talking about closed cell is over rated and he would recommend open cell. I have been doing a lot of research and had pretty much decided I wanted closed cell for moisture and...

    Lava Soap???

    When I was a kid at the babysitters (early 1960's), my sitters husband was a mechanic that came home for "dinner" everyday at noon. I can still see him Lavaing up before his meal, then back to work he went. I still use it.

    Arcan jack.....worth it?

    Looked for this jack yesterday at the Winchester Va. Costco and didn't see them. I did see those stools pictured above. The Winchester store doesn't have much in the way of automotive stuff.

    Can I install a 4 post lift on 3000psi 4 inch fibermesh concrete?

    Nor does fiber mesh reduce cracking! My contractor placed two saw cuts across the 30 foot section of my 30X40 building. He didn't cut anything on the 40 foot length area. I began getting major cracks. So he came back and cut several more areas. I'm debating if I am going to require them to...

    Can I install a 4 post lift on 3000psi 4 inch fibermesh concrete?

    My concrete was formed inside the building where there are 2X8's around the bottom. I think I'm real close, but you never know what's in the middle, gravel? My asphalt driveway gave way because of the gypsy that did it, skim coated it with a nice fat rolled edge. *******.

    Can I install a 4 post lift on 3000psi 4 inch fibermesh concrete?

    My concrete was poured in April. So I think it's cured by now. I was looking at the Bendpak site last night and didn't see the concrete specs. I'll go check it this morning.
