Snow again and cold. 5 degrees and they are putting metal on.

Hard to get two days of decent whether in a row, but moving forward. Starting on metal by Jan 1. Can't get more than one photo to load at a time. Am I doing this right.

Snow melted frame up by December 23.

Winter arrived before the building crew but they trudged thru. My trusses are buried under the snow on December 19.

I have been getting a lot of good ideas from this site so I thought I would try and start a build thread. Signed a contract in August to have a 36X40 polebarn built in the fall.

I am using an iPad. When I go to the gallery, sticky, use form no form shows on my screen. What am I doing wrong?

They are trying to get the outside of my building finished today. I will try to get a thread started and pictures up tonight. Thanks for all the comments.

Some of the drawers do have keys and I do have a key that fits them. It is bent and looks very fragile so I am going to have a new one made before it breaks. I am going to put the bench in my new shop when it gets done. The crew is working on the polebarn as I am typing this.

Yes the top comes right off it has a metal frame that lines everything up and holds things in place. It then breaks down into four sections that we loaded with a forklift and I unloaded with my D14 tractor and loader. When it was on my truck it had it squatted pretty good. I only had to haul it...

The two white boxes on top is actually one heavy two drawer cabinet. I am not sure what the original purpose was but I intend to put it on a roller cabinet I have under my toolbox.

Yes it is a cable winder. I got two different sizes of them for 5 bucks each. They have a handle on them that folds the outer flange in so you can put a roll of wire on. Should be handy for pulling wire.

Going in my new polebarn when it gets done. Should I paint it or leave it original?

This is the sticker on the workbench

Had to pay 190 for it but I really wanted it bad. The vise was only 27.50.

Hope the picture comes thru OK

I understand the single bubble will be a vapor barrier under the metal. The main purpose of the single bubble is to keep the metal on roof and walls from sweating. I will not be using a vapor barrier on the inside. Hope to use a mini-split for heat and ac. It will be a shop not parking for wet...

I am having a 36X40 building put up at present time. They started putting some metal on yesterday morning when the temp was 5 degrees. I will build a wall down the middle to end up with a 36X20 shop. I hope to install a mini-split for heat and ac for my central Illinois climate. I like your...

I wish I had an answer for you but I have the same question. I am in the process of having a pole barn put up. I asked the builder about warping the building with house wrap and he said he would just wrap the whole building in foil backed single bubble. I will be finishing 1/2 of the inside and...

So I ordered a panel from menards and it came in today. You guys were right about the dimensions. It is still a QO Square D 200 amp 30 space 40 circuit box with five 20 amp breakers for $142 dollars. I will be burying the entrance cable and would like to come in thru the bottom of the box. From...

I have accumulated a lot of the QO breakers over the years and that is what I have in my house so I think I will stick with the QO box. My question is if one of these boxes is deeper since it is going in a polebarn wouldn't that be better?
