Gizmo2 · Apr 10, 2011

Getting ready for the the new pole building. Started yesterday tearing down the old 14x24 shed. New building is going to be 20X32.

No room to keep shed and build new building?

No, and a good thing. The base of the building had rotten out pretty bad.

Finished getting the old building down this morning, the wife is a real driver.

Added 72 yards of bank-run today. I have to hurry, trying to catch up to blueriver and his barn project.

This is some nice looking stuff for bank run!

Yes, I was very pleased. Leveled off 72 yards of bank-run here and I never touched a shovel, got to love these compact tractors.

Day 1
Brings a whole new meaning to gopher holes.
Even brought their own toilet.

Gizmo2 · May 31, 2011

Two bags of Sakrete in each hole, then one biscuit of concrete 6" by 18" then the Perma column.

Looks great so far Giz...That thing will be built in no time!

Gizmo2 · May 31, 2011

Thanks Ken. They tell me by Friday evening I can move in. We'll see.
Four of the 17 holes have at least 2 ft of water in them. I really thought there would be more holes with water. It was in the mid to high 90's today and I about died out there. Good thing I didn't have to do any real work.

I like how the guy in the second picture uses a pipe clamp clamped to the post so he can man handle it easier.

I had heard of the Perma column, but never seen one, it reminded me to look into them. thanks. Nice building btw.

Looking good! They do go up fast, but only if you've done it a few hundred times. I'd hate to figure out how to do this on my own. I did a tiny 6 x 8 shed and it about wooped me (was working on my own).

This heat is miserable.

They look OK when the area is clear, small when the poles go in. OK once the frame is done, and then small again after you've had it for a while and it fills with stuff. You can't really win, but the only way to loose is not have the building.

Midday Day 4
Slow going now with all the trim work. I was glad to see the splash board go up. I had them make it wider on the plans a few weeks ago as to keep the metal a little further from the ground. I would rather see more of the splash board than look at rust a few years down the road.
