    The studs are toe nailed in to the base girt and nailed to the top one as well. The red studs are framing studs from lowes. The are pre-cut short and when combined with a 2x4 on top and a 2x6 on bottom are 8ft in total height. Easier than having to cut 3" off every stud. Never heard of a...

    quick question. Should I use some concrete nails to nail the bottom board to the floor or just leave it be? I only plan on hanging signs, a tv, neon lights, etc to the wall. I will build shelving from the ground up for the heavy stuff.

    Well its been a while but some work has been done. My contractor finally had the doors installed and sent his electrical sub out to do the electricity.

    Do anyone see an issue with using rolls of fiberglass insulation to insulate the walls? An issues with moisture from the metal creating mold problems? I am planning on framing up the interior with 2x4s at 24" on center between the poles. Spray foam is probably out of the equation due to the cost.

    the crew finished 95% of the metal work. Concrete gets poured tomorrow, then the doors can be hung and the front wall can be finished. Then its onto the interior framing so I can insulate then hang plywood/old barn wood to finish out the inside.

    Went pole for a couple reasons. Concrete price was a lot less with the pole barn. I also feel like its going to be easier to finish out the interior. Plus the contractor I used came highly recommended and didn't let me down...so far.
