Have a covered pole building approximately 40 wide x 60 long. The left 20 feet of this is finished and occupied nicely. The right side of this is not. I want to close in the right side.
My intention is to pour concrete first. The new concrete will be finished at the same elevation as the concrete on the finished side of the building.
My question is where to form the concrete at then outside edges of the floor. My first thought is to simply make a form by attaching the boards directly to the outside of the poles having the poles surrounded by concrete.
The problem comes in when I frame the walls. I intend to frame the walls just like any other pole building. Horizontally directly attached to the poles 2' on center all the way up.
Doing it this way, I will end up haveing the wall extend past the concrete by the full thickness of the wall. Maybe that's how its done. Seems it might be wise/ better to make the concrete forms 2"-3" beyond the vertical wall poles.
hope I didn't confuse anyone. Its a bit hard to explain.
