I am thinking it is a mobile home door with the way the door has a screw flange all the way around it (see pictures). I am eventually going to do vinyl siding. Would it be ok to...

I have been slowly building my 30'x27' pole building all summer. I am going to be framing my 16'x9' garage door opening tomorrow. The door is on the gable end. The concrete is done so my floor height is already there. I already got quoted for a door and the supplier said that my opening has to...

I am currently building a 30' by 27' pole building. I am to the point of sheeting my gable ends with 1/2" OSB. I already did the walls. I am stumped as to how to measure the angles of the gable to cut the OSB. Is there a trick to quickly and accurately measure the gable angles? My pitch is 4:12...

I am about to start building my 30'x27' pole garage. I planned to backfill my holes with the dirt that I removed from the holes. After digging my holes I found out that my ground is almost solid clay. Is it a bad idea to back fill my posts with the clay filled dirt that I removed from my holes...

I am currently in the process of buying a pole building from our local lumber yard (Carter Lumber). They have a computer program that generates a model based off of the customers dimensions, they then make a material list based on this model. My building will be 30' wide by 27' deep. I am...

I am about ready to start building my post frame garage. I plan to order the materials tomorrow or Tuesday and dig holes on Thursday. I plan to make my holes 3.5' deep and put 6" of concrete in the bottom to sit the posts on then encase in concrete after that. The first question I have is in...
