Our New 60x40x16 Metal Building Thread

[ITHINKICAN]

Day three. Two crews worked on day three. In the morning they attached the remaining walls.

Finishin up the walls.

The metal building Company had Galvalume as their standard roof color. At the time we were a little overwhelmed comparing total price of each metal building Company - forgot to consider how it would look. We probably should have spent the extra $500 and had the roof match our trim. Oh well. Maybe next time... :thumbsup:

#1 - oops a hole.
#2 - oops a hole and oops no base trim.
#3 - oops no weatherproofing closure strips.
We have 100's of photo's - this is just an example.

Please tell me you didn't make the final payment? Can you have them fix these errors? I too agree 100 percent with 77transam the GC is a piece of @%&$!!!!!!!!!!!!! Unreal......

They moved very quickly on day three. They had one crew working one side of the roof and the new crew working the other half. They told us they needed to hurry up because the 2nd crew needed to go back to their regular jobs the following day... Looking back on that moment in time we now realize that was not a good thing to hear. 1.) Two unsupervised crews (one of which had no obligation to us). 2.) One of which has a regular job to return to. 3.) Hurrying up on a roof installation. :drool: <water from eyes. Oh well. Live and learn.

The odd thing about the GC - he was pleasant and professional at nearly every moment (minus a voice mail or two) - the work that was done or in some cases not done - while he was on hiatus - that's a different story.

That sounds exactly like the dick and his construction superintendent at the time that built our house. By any chance are any of these guys named Matt Walter or C.B. Collins?

I'm surprised the GC didn't tell you those holes are features...peepholes for midgets.

Yep, I have 100's of photos of the crap that's gone wrong here after the frosting melted off the canine Twinkie that is our house.

It’s not about the money. We just want the building we chose, built correctly, with the features that were included in the price. We asked them to make repairs – the GC sent his unsupervised crew – so you could guess how that turned out. Info is on my building insulation thread.

They might be related to our GC - inbreds maybe... :laughing:

I'm tempted to start another thread and post pictures of the puddles in our building. :drink:
