    General Steel red iron building

    Here are 2 estimates to compare red iron vs commercial grade carport style. keep in mind the red iron does not include installation and does require footings. Also note the sizes are slightly different at 40x60 vs 40x52

    Truss strength

    Thats just it, the roof isn't in the best condition and will need to be replaced in the next couple of years (shingles and plywood).

    Mysterious Drain-like hole in my garage floor

    I just bought a house with this same exact hole that the slab was poured around. My only problem is that the watertable is so high that water is only 18" below the slab. I'm wondering if the watertable in the area has changed since it was built. It has been raining on and off a little here but...

    My wife and I just bought a house with a 2 car detached garage and a 26 x 36 pole barn. The pole barn which was used for horses had 4 stalls, a hay storage area and a closet thing. A friend and I ripped out all the interior dividers to open up the space and it looks completely different...
