Another Barn Build

[jehosofat]

I contracted with a well known local barn builder to build me a pole barn. They showed up on Thursday morning, it rained till almost 11 am, they worked till 3 pm and it came a flood, so they knocked off for the day. Showed up at 6 am on Friday morning, and completed the job by 2 pm Friday afternoon. These fellas don't mess around. 5 man crew, including the boss.

That's how the barns go here too. 2 days and your parking equipment or stacking hay

Or putting up the siding.

Strictly a inquiry did you get a quote on a metal building that size compared to the wood ?

My new barn is sitting on pallets in my old barn. Maybe this hunting season I'll round the help up to bolt it all together.
Nice looking barn.

No, the guy that built our mechanical barn did this & we're having him put a larger one in another pasture. It's technically considered a non-permanent structure, primarily for tax purposes but I think KS is considering changing that allowance. His crew dug a shallow trench & poured cement for the perimeter base and simply stacked the interlocking cement blocks (think Legos) then added the trusses & secured the roof. We're thinking about adding a couple posts at each end so we can temporarily rig up some old cattle gates or panels & use it as a makeshift catch pen. The cement keeps them cool in the summer (like being in a basement) and during the winter I put out straw plus it's facing south so they don't get the north wind & stay pretty toasty. No bread storage :( but there's actually a lot of room for storage on the top of the side walls where the roof inclines.
