Just getting started with my 36x48x14 pole building. This has been in the planning stage for a while, I've finally found the time to get started. It is next to my house which is nice but also created a few obstacles! I have over head power to my house and it had to be moved, so when I excavated for my pad I put in the conduit and built a new meter base for a 400 amp panel with a 200 amp panel for my barn which was already underground. I excavated 20" down then hauled in 11/2" minus spec and used a 14,000 lb vibratory roller for compaction. I still have a little to finish to bring it to the final sub grade then 2" of formular 250, pex, rebar and 5" of concrete.

How do you have them hosted? Have you tried a post in the test section ?
I would suggest that you up load pictures to an album here and then copy the BB code to insert in your posts. If you click on my name it will take you to a screen where you can see my albums. Unfortunately my build is not in an album.
It sounds like your building the same building I built below.

Mine were failing trying to upload from my Iphone too. I had to upload from my Iphone to Google Photos (cause I refuse to let Itunes own my computer), then download from Google Photos to the computer, then upload them back to this forum... Yeesh what a convoluted mess, but it works.
Tried the test section, no joy! I don't want to use a third party app.

Do you have the photos hosted on a site like Photo Bucket or you could have them hosted on the GJ.
He's trying to load them here, that is the issue. The site doesn't like something with apple products (seemingly since both he and I have the same issue using apple products). And I'm betting he doesn't have a Photobucket account, but if he did he'd have to pay now to imbed photos in forums.
Unless he has ITunes on his comp so he can sync his photos to it he's stuck working around this forum issue as I have said. Between Apple holding your stuff hostage, Photobucket doing much the same, and the error loading photos to here with an apple product, posting photos is a bit of a chore.

D94R, thanks for the explanation. I knew it's an issue using apple. I do have them synced on my MacBook computer. I will try uploading them from it.

Try and host them here on the forum in your own album.

Thanks Larry,
Nothing new to show yet, waiting on trusses. got the power moved yesterday and started backfilling some of the electrical trench. Will probably start putting in some girts next week when I get home and finish the sub grade while I wait for trusses.

Modoc,
I can see you are still having some issue posting photos so please forgive me for editing "IMG" in your last post but I added the other 3 photos to that post so you can now explain to us all what is going on. Looking good by the way.

No. It is not. Just be patient as every on here wants to see what you are doing and along the way many will help you. As I stated in the PM to you when you make a post look at the icons and look for the 'insert image' once you have done it a few times all will be easy.
Still trying to get the picture thing sorted!! I finally got my trusses up and purlins today. Working on the eves then the roof sheeting and shingles. I'm ready to start prepping for the foamular for the radiant heat, what is used for taping the seams on the foamular?

I have removed the empty posts for you. Are you using the insert image icon to post the images ? If so post the URL of the image after you click on the icon into the drop down box as it appears.

Very nice. I see you are building the same size as me including a 14' ceiling. Interesting to see how build styles differ from building to building. What size are your roll up doors?

Nice work, Modoc. Regarding your previous question about taping seams on foamular, if that's the foam panels you are laying down under your slab, I didn't tape mine at all. I just made sure they were tight up against each other.

^ same, I just made mine all nice and flat and tight. And then threw a 6-mil plastic sheet (vapor barrier) over all of them.
Ok, so I know it's been awhile. I have finally finished the roof, set the posts for the two man doors and started setting the splash board to pour the floor. It has been a slow process because of my work schedule. Finishing the roof was a major milestone it was a real **** kicker but it is very gratifying to have it finished and it turned out vey nice. I had never done a roof before so I watched some Youtube video's and followed the directions on the shingle bundles and it really looks nice. How ever I don't know that I would ever take it on again.

I have a roofing guy that says he can do a roof for only a little more than I can. Its well worth it in my book. He gets a discount on the shingles and they are delivered to the roof. Plus, he gets done in 1-2 days and the old roof debris is gone.

I have plans for a 36x48 garage upon retirement.
Looking forward to seeing how you use the space.
