86 degrees out, weird that Roy in Vermont might be hotter.
got my trim mower to the shop about an hour away; amazed the gps did not lead me to the local quarry as the
guy trying to give me directions over the phone swore they would.
Then off to a nice lunch with the builder who will be quoting my new storage/garage building in both pole barn and all steel construction. Since the existing barn is already a "pole barn", not sure I want to use the money necessary to upgrade to an all steel building on that vs. perhaps more features inside the pole barn.
From what I understand, most good carpenters, and perhaps some not so good, can build a pole barn. An all steel building might take a little more expertise, and maybe not, if it's just a giant erector set putting together all the precut parts. The builder said he would have me look at the three dimensional modeling software they use so it will help me visualize the internal spaces better than looking at a blocked up Excel spreadsheet on my home pc.
The new building will be in the lee of woods/trees to the South and West within a few hundred feet, and other trees further out, so not particularly exposed except from the North. I think I should take this to a new thread and get input on this; many of you have had these buildings built or built them yourself.
so I shall...
