We are moving to western N. Carolina this fall, I am ready to go now. These were taken this weekend with more to follow.

Hers is 16x26 with a house connected.

Mine is 30x50 post and beam with another days worth of dirt to dig. Yea its bigger than the house (as it should be) The barn will be up and ready for concrete within a month.

I've seen this before, but still don't understand it- why don't you pour the floor first, then erect the building on it?

Isn't it easier to pour then build, than the reverse? Does it have something to do with the idea that it is a steel building and not a regular frame build?

Just trying to understand...

This type of building has the posts 3ft in the ground does not require the cost of foundation footers and the bottom board of the barn is the form for the slab. This also makes this type of building the most inexpensive to build. If it wern't for the 3,900 I had to pay for land prep the building would have been 11.25 per square foot including the slab. Try that with stick frame. even with the land prep I have 13.84 per foot. I dont mind the fact of having a metal building, It looks good to me and fit in my budget.

I had my floor done after also, it was weird, but it turned out sweet.

Very nice building!!

The concrete is I'm sure more than the building! I'm on a fairly tight budget also. While checking the building prices the concrete has been the most expensive. It is weird that the pour goes in after the building is up, but thats what they do!
