So I decided to redo my deck boards as they were rotting from not being properly spaced and I never had time to address the issue. Really not trying to replace the whole deck. I replaced the 2 really rotted 2x10 but most of the others have some surface rot or dirt going on. Wondering how I...

Hey guys, Had just kind of a general question on windows. Got a crack in one dual pane insulated windows. I got a buddy who does glass work. He says he can just replace the glass in the window and not replace the window. Any pros and cons to doing this instead of replacing entire window. I...

So I have a steel pole barn located in Michigan, and I insulated the walls with foam board and styrofoam. I have yet to do anything with the roof. What would be the outcome if I just put up a styrofoam ceiling attached directly to bottom of rafters? Located in Michigan so we can have cold...

Had a question about insulating my pole barn. When I built it I built it on a budget I cut some corners that are biting me now. I only intended it for storage really. But now I am using it for more now. I have since put some styrofoam on the walls but I'm not sure how to insulate the roof. Could...

Got a 16x36 steel polebarn. when originally built I had no intention of insulating. Now that i'm doing more then just storing stuff Id like to insulate. I brought some foam board home from work and bought some Styrofoam to go over that for the walls. Now my major questions are for the...

so I had the idea to build a barn and I diden't have alot of cash so I def built on a budget. I built a 16x36 all steel and added a 12ft lean to on the side. I dident think I was ever gonna insulate it so I left that out of the equation. a few years later I figure insulating would be a good...

just wondered how many of you have built without permit. I can't see pulling a permit to install a door or putting a bigger window in. Just wondering. I've even had guys tell me they never pulled a permit for building a carport off their buildings so I was just like wow... lol

Sup guys... Finally bit the bullet and put concrete in my barn. I built a 16x36 with 10ft walls steel pole barn. I had a little over $3000 in materials for the barn and I just dropped $1900 for the concrete so overall I think I was a pretty worthwhile investment. I also plan to add a lean to...

What is a good flooring choice besides concrete for a pole barn? I am on a budget and I would love to do concrete but its just not in the budget at this time. Barn is used primarily for storage. I don't really view it as an active garage. Now I need to build up around my barn and raise the...

So I built a little pole barn last year. The barn is 16x36 and I was kind of curious as to how it will affect my property value. No concrete floor yet or anything. I've been working to much to do anything to it as of yet. So I get my assessment from the city and the value of my house went up...

Kinda freaking out a little bit guys. Not a roofer or builder in any sense of the word. I had a new roof installed 9 or 10 years ago. Well My gf got up in the attic and she mentions a roughly 3x3 section of plywood is damp. There was few drops of water on one of our storage bins. So now what do...

Hey guys. I got a issue I been trying to figure out for a while now. I bought my house 12 years ago and I'm just not happy with the driveway situation. I share a driveway with my neighbor. It just looks ghetto to me. It's a good area etc and we have no issues with parking but I am just looking...

Hey new to the site. I built a 16x36 pole barn and I am looking at flooring options. Barn is mainly used for storage, I don't do any ******** mechanical stuff. I can't really afford concrete at the moment. Is their any better options. I was thinking crushed concrete or asphault compacted really...
