We want progress pics! We're pretty excited to see someone else building a shop for their hobby. Most of us can't do that, so we envy you being able to start from a clean slate and BUILD! Post more pics as you make progress please.

Sorry for the non updates, I was in Germany working on NCL's new ship Escape, cruising in the North Sea 40 degrees and 40mph winds is not the Caribbean! Anyways the slab was poured while I was gone and it looks great, flat and smooth. Next iw waiting until the building is delivered which is not until Nov 16th. Then they should put the whole building up in about 5 days.
looks like a good start.
ARMY NAM VET, very proud!

drive and enjoy them while you work on them, life is to short.
The three Okies who put my last 30x50 up did it in a day and half, including building trusses on site. It took me most of this summer to add a 20x50 lean too on the west side. If the slab is done first you must be building a steel framed building.
Yes all steel building, stick build in Florida with termites and Hurricane codes isn't practical, and block construction was too expensive for me.
Around here probably 90% are wooden pole barns. I know of several including one of mine 30-40 years old doing fine. No doubt all steel is better.
I think construction materials and methods are based on the location, and they all have there uses, I just picked what I thought was the best for my situation.
Anchor Bolts? Depression for overhead doors? Man door depression? I bet they are there, just hard to see.

Anchor bolts for this building are drilled and installed with the structure, not poured in the concrete. That is specified with the building engineering, my understanding is that there is an epoxy as well as the mechanical wedge for the bolts. There is not any depressions for the man door or roll ups, we will have a lip from the "driveway and sidewalk" that reduces water intrusion.Originally Posted by NCW
