So between leaving town last week for Thanksgiving vacation and then traveling for work this week, I have been a little busy. The inspector signed off on the final building inspection yesterday day so we are good to go now. Here are a few pictures of the completed exterior. I need to get some...

I really hate this time change as it is too dark when I get home to see any progress. I snapped these last night with what little light was left. I will get some good daylight pictures this weekend.

It was too dark by the time I got home last night, hoping to snag some more progress pictures today. @IRQVET unfortunately not good news. I am kicking myself for not pulling the trigger on this in 2019 when I was quoted about $70,000 all in. I will be around $95,000 for land prep, 1887 sq ft...

Crew showed up at 7am this morning and got after it. I grabbed a still from my security camera. I will upload a few more shots once I get home if there is enough light outside. Crazy how fast these things take shape.

Congrats on getting it started, I have one going up currently as well (36x50x14). Wait until concrete, then it gets real! Where at in Georgia are you?

Bopbop, thanks for the additional feedback!

Cool, I am perfectly fine leaving it alone. Thanks for the feedback!

@Spud McGee I too was curious about the posts and had seen it done both ways. When doing my research before hand I stumbled across the RR Buildings YouTube channel. Armour Barns uses a lot of the same methods as RR Buildings does. One thing I was seeing a lot of builders do was pouring the...

Cool build, can't wait to see more.

@Bopbop I looked at Metal Con as well early on when I was researching everything back in 2019. Do you have your project detailed on the forum?

Looks great, I really like the color combo.

Concrete

The crew showed up to pour concrete today. I am still at work, but will grab some pictures once I get home later today.

Looks Awesome, I know you are happy to have progress again!

@Spud McGee, looks great, sorry to hear about the warped trusses. I did look up Armour Metals and they are a different company than the Armour Barns I am using for my build. I am not sure where they source their trusses from, but I will certainly ask them about it. The County Inspector came...

Things are taking shape. Dirt was compacted and leveled yesterday. Plastic and forms were also laid in preparation for concrete. Footing inspection is set for Monday afternoon.

After 8 loads of dirt, they wrapped for the day and will return on Monday. Hurricane Ian is visiting us for the next few days. Plastic laid down to prevent dirt from washing away. Much more work to do before they start the concrete forms and to prepare for the footing inspection.

Dirt work started this morning.

Looks great!

After further review with the contractor, we reduced the size of the building down to 36x50x14. I edited the first post. The building will sit fairly close to the house and I wanted to make sure I had enough room to drive a vehicle in between the house and the building should I ever need to get...
