[jaker10]

I hope this picture thing worked. Here is my new 30X48 post frame, started last week. In peoria county you must have poles set 4 ft. with 18 inch poured footing 6 inch deep

Looking good. Did you start the build this winter? Weather here in the Midwest has been unseasonably warm. It's made alot of construction possible.

Started ground work in late jan. I'm going to post pictures from start to finish some time today.

I noticed that the post go right into the ground, do you have to treat them or do anything special to prevent the wood from rotting or termites getting at it.

Oh, I like how you made 30x48 and not 30x50

 

[jaker10]

They use pressure treated laminated poles. Its (3) 2X6 pressure treated and laminated to make 6X6. To go 2 ft longer and make it 50 ft would have been 1 more trusse and 2 posts and builder said the cost wasn't worth it for 2 ft.

Building looks great, very similar to the dimensions I would like to build. I am not too far from you, over by Metamora. Who did you have put up the building?

 

[jaker10]

Ragland, great crew very freindly and helpfull. And I think they did a great job.

 

[jaker10]

Poured cement next going to get power from house to shop. A friend of my son did the pour and here he is saw cuting.

 

[oilslick]

Have to ask how much you have in it? I like the size and looks. Ragland built one here in town a while back but it was a plane Jane.

 

[jaker10]

$21700 for building. I got Dirt work, permit, cement at contractor cost, I paid for reinforcement in cement, vaper barrier, insulation under slab and gutters. A friend does cement and he did for free but I gave him a $1000.00 tip. Total as of now $29000.00. Also got it trenched from one end to the other to lay in water line and sewer line for 2 cases of beer, 1 case for the use of the trencher and 1 case for his brother to trench it in.

Is the building a national brand or a local contractor. Looks like they did a nice job on it .

 

[oilslick]

Thanks for bringing me back to reality, I am needing a lot more money to do what I want 32x54'.

 

[jaker10]

It was put up by Ragland.

 

[classic boost]

looking good.
what mil vapor barrier did you use, and what insulation under the slab?

 

[jaker10]

5 mil. vaper barrier over all the floor and 2 inch foam all around outter edge 2 foot wide. Didn't put foam under roll up door, I didn't want to take a chanch of it giving and cracking from driving over it.
