The only difference between interior and exterior paint is the UV protection for paint fading. Now if you want stronger try garage floor paint on you bench or trimwork.

Good points When I build my last 32x48 barn I had a ton of leftover material which I was able to return later for around $500

Well I did manage to get up and call the lumberyard before they closed today, of the two truss manufacturors that were called, one was $25 more than a standard 4/12 and the other was $40 more. The trusses are also speced for the same snow load so this will not be an issue. So for around $650...

This is mid Michigan, it doesn't snow hear anymore, lol. I would go taller if I could but I'm maxed out zoning wise at a 18' peak height which is right were I'm at right now. I eventually want to put a lift in, which I can do with the 12' ceiling, but it would just be even easier with a...

I was plannning on putting just a standard 4/12 pitch trusses on my 32' x 48' pole barn but seeing all the posts of guys using scissors got me thinking. Just off the top of your head about how much more per truss would it be to go with a 4/12 pitch scissor truss if if went that route? I have...

Thanks for all the great ideas! My excavator who is putting my drive back to the build site in, said he could pile some additional stone crete at the edge of the driveway to provide a transition as to not drop off the driveway edge. They trucks would have to go over approximately the last 20'...

The barn will be approx 400' from my main driveway so I think the pumper is out. Where would one go about getting steel plates at?

My property is narrow and very deep so to get to the rear of my property where the my pole barn build site will be I cut a drive through my woods down the side of my property. This drive splits off of my main drive to my attached garage which is all cemented in. You probably already see where...

I was sold on pole buildings after seeing my neighbor do an addition to his large barn that was built in the 70s. He had to remove several poles for the addition and when they were pulled from the ground they looked as if they did when they were buried 40+ years ago. This was not in a dry area...

Thanks for all the ideas guys. Today I went out and bought a 4' metal rod and used it to just do some preliminary tests by driving it into the ground where the poles would be located. Some of the holes I was able to drive it all the way down, most I could drive it down ~30"s and then I would...

I have seen unheated garages here in Michigan built on slabs before and they always looked to stay in pretty good shape, but like has been said I don't know how much heaving is going to happen? I had thought about first just trying to drive a metal rod into the ground as sort of a pre...

I am in the process of prepping my build site to have a 32x38x12 pole building put up in the rear of my property. In talking to the excavator that come by last night to give my some estimates I find out that the area I want to put my barn in was used for dumping fill 25+ years ago. Said they...

Anyone see any coupons for this? http://www.harborfreight.com/3-8-eighth-inch-drive-speed-socket-wrench-4432.html 3/8 Drive speed socket wrench, saw it in the store the other day and would like to try it out for the right price.

I'm trying to build my garage currently but am having one heck of a time getting someone to come yank some stumps and bring some fill in. Probably called 8 excavators now and all say they will call and come out in a week or so but not a one has showed yet. Starting to think I need to get a...

What would the difference be in running this our straight plastic underground?

Does anyone know approx. the max square footage the 75k unit would be able to heat in a garage with 12' ceilings, insulated, in Michigan type weather?
