[QUOTE="Herefordcross, post: 315010, member: 3860"] This is more than likely the last building there will be in my lifetime anyway. The plan is to use it for hay/equipment for the time being and convert it to a shop with heat, etc. at a later date. Our other buildings are in a better location for hay storage. When of the biggest mistakes I made was a 30x60 building that is insulated and drywalled and completely finished inside it isn't tall enough to get some stuff in. It will work better for hay storage. My last name isn't Trump so I'll do a little each year to convert this one to a shop/equipment storage. If I won the powerball it would have radiant heat and all the bells and whistles. Trying to install a vapor barrier after a building, especially a pole building, doesn't work to well. I do a fair amount of construction work to afford to keep the farm running and I finished the interior of a pole barn for a guy and it was a nightmare and there is no one close that does the spray in foam insulation, some of it I saw was a soybean based formula which I thought was awesome. john250 Try about $83.50 a post that would equal $2,254.50 and that's about ten percent +/- the total building material cost and I can't swallow that at this time. We are kind of stuck with a pile of material and no matter how well you cover lumber, if it's in the weather it's gonna get twisted and a percentage will be unuseable, thus the "big rush". I can understand your point, however used oil is used everyday in spray mixtures and a lot of other stuff, the amounts that would be put around a post would be minimal if I were doing it. And I doubt it's true effectiveness anyway because it's not gonna stay at the top of the ground where the posts usually rot off, it's gonna run to the bottom so heck if I know which direction to head. As far as rainfall, etc. goes here. My buildings and house are backed up against a mountain and my pasture/hay ground is on the level well drained ground. In a normal year it stays wet from Oct until April where the house and buildings are. [b]Thanks for your input![/b] [/QUOTE]
