I used Farm and Home Structures in Oct 2015. http://www.fhstructures.com I built a 50 x 72 x 14 just a few miles east of you. My coworker just had them build one in Peculiar. I had an Amish crew out of Jamesport. My coworkers crew was not. If you want to talk, pm me a phone number. I...

My kids now know where the clearance end cap is in each store.

Why isn't Morton replacing it? For what you likely paid, you shouldn't be shy about escalating the issue.

I have used old telephone poles to hang pipe gates on. The section that comes out of the ground is usually the best because the creosote settles in the bottom of the poles. One I used has a date nail from he 40's and it was solid and heavy. As far as columns, the company that built my barn...

A couple new ones at my local store. Sorry for the crappy pic on the miter/work stand.

Picked this one up at an auction last week with some tools in it. Stamped 5-74. No dents but a couple extra holes in the lid. I have picked up a lock but no luck on a badge. Is there any where to source them? Does the Snap On sticker make it worth more?:)

If you are worried about the swivel base holding look for one with double lockdowns. Most of your better vises will have two. I personally would be hesitant about buying one that is a fixed base, but it may suit your needs fine. I think 5.5 or 6 inch jaws will be plenty big for what you need...

Sounds like nothing that 5 gallons of diesel fuel and a match can't take care of... If any of the other options don't work, you do have about 250k in equity. Perhaps you could get a separate home equity loan to help cover the gap of what you can spend out of pocket and the cost to build then...

I think this is like the chicken and the egg argument. I totally see what you are saying but what I am saying is just because the OP backfilled, the poles do not need to be longer - because the ground was not originally level is why. The builder is claiming because there is backfill. If the...

No not at all. I did exactly what you did. I am saying it shouldn't matter to the builder at all. I had a coworker not grade prior and had about a 30" drop in one corner on a site that eyeballed "level" to the builder. The builder made up the difference with mud boards then backfilled...

Which means the length of the poles would be the same either way. My builder required the site to be within 2" of grade.

Yes one corner but not all the way around. Half the posts are at grade. What if he didn't backfill? There still will be an 18" gap in that corner from the mud board to the ground - thus the pole would be the same length irregardless.

Look at the plans and then tell me the same. Half of the building is at grade the other half is low, down to 18" in one corner. So if he didn't level the site there would be an 18" gap between the mud board at the low corner and the ground and at grade it would be flush with the ground. Poles...

Once again, how does 18" of fill on top change the ground where the poles are being placed? It is still the same amount of virgin ground whether the fill is there or not. Grade did not change. The poles should go in the same distance from grade. I am sure the OP wants a level floor so it...

Look at the plans the OP attached. How does that change the length of the posts from the original plan? He didn't change grade just added fill to the low areas. Which is what you would do to have a level floor. The only difference is the builder has to dig through 18" or less of fill for a...

So you have 18" of fill in one corner which was compacted by the dozer. I don't get how that would require the poles to be longer? Was he not going to build a level building to begin with? If anything it should save him money by not having to add extra mud boards on the bottom along those...
