Well guys I finally bi the bullet.. I bought all of the components for my Barn/Shop..
30x40x12' sidewalls, 2-12 pitch roof, all steel.. 4" posts, trusses, all metal, screws, 12' roll up door, 3'8"x7' walk door, etc..
Got the place cleared for it, near perfectly level... Now it's pouring rain here in East Texas..
Of course, I gotta decide: Instant Gratification, go ahead and build the shop now, and pour in concrete later. OR Wait a month or two to fund the slab (not gonna borrow any money to do it.. I have no debt, and don't care to incur any), and build it all then.
I know Eddie will tell me that if I don't pour it now, I never will...
What do the rest of you guys think??
Who has actually built on dirt, then added a concrete slab "later" ??
