    New Steel Building in South Florida

    Hung the doors! Did the 8x8 the other day Hung the 12x12 door today. It binds at the bottom so needs a little more tweaking. Ordered my wire to feed the garage panel so I'll finally have power in there. Hoping to have my final inspections by the end of this week so then the real fun begins!

    Yeah the plan was to pour everything all at once but the lean-to slab with the 1.5" drop down made it really difficult. Don't know what part you think is a drain, but on the garage slab by the door opening is a 1/4" metal plate for welding to.
