Quick work. Nice barn.

I'm having trouble with some of the attached pics as well.

Curious about how it worked to have out of state contractor. I would think it would add to the cost. Did they stay on site with a travel trailer or motel or what?

Thanks all - Pictures should be fixed now. It must have been a forum problem, I had to re-load them.

The contractors went to a motel each night. It's a fixed cost based on the building you purchase. There was a fuel surcharge given the distance they drive. It's not cheap, but good quality work rarely is.... The way I see it, I paid for professionals to come in and get it done and that's what I received.

It's called "Grade Guard" on DIY's site. It slips over the end of the post and is exposed just above grade and goes down about 2 to 3 feet below grade. I suppose the thought is most of the moisture is near the surface which is where rot will be most likely to begin.

Looks awesome! I'm having CHA build a 20x20x10 with board & batten wood siding and asphalt roof. Scheduled for May, and looking forward to it. Their price was very reasonable. If they can knock out your barn in 4 days, I bet they can do mine in 1-2.
