Re: 40\'x64\'x12\' Pole Barn
Another shot of the lift. The Kioti also came in handy setting the post up. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
I must have been pretty close on the pads in the concrete. I drilled all holes 5" deep for the two post, but did not go through the concrete. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
I have already had 4 or 5 vehicles on it.

Re: 40\'x64\'x12\' Pole Barn
RedDog - I like your outside lighting fixtures! Could you ask your contractor friend as to the manufactuer and where he got them from. Also, an estimate of per fixture costs. I have the identical lights for the interior and I agree that they give a tremendous amount of light. I can readily obtain an exterior version of the indoor lights readily, but, as with you, I like the clean and sealed version of yours. Thanks - Clyde

Re: 40\'x64\'x12\' Pole Barn
Based on the white lite, they look like metal halide units, are they running on 220V or 110V?
I think they're a great way to lite up a work area, better (but more expensive, and more expensive to run I think) than flourescents.
I'd love to have that much clean, concrete, dry, lighted workspace!

The light they produce is very white, which I like. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif My panel box was a freebie that my brother gave me. I was a little concerned on space for breakers, so they are on 110V.
I really do not know if they are more expensive or not. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif I'm sure if I change them to 220V, it would be cheaper.

I like the clean "commercial" look of them. I will ask him soon, probably next Nascar race, as he is a Ford fan and I'm Chevy. Makes for interesting conversation between us. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif I still have some of the boxes laying around.
All my light fixtures were purchased at Loeb electric in Columbus, Ohio.
<font color="blue"> Also, an estimate of per fixture costs. </font>
The one outside light was $154, and I still need to buy another one. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif The six interior lights were $740. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif So as you can see I have quite a bit $$$ in lights. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Re: 40\'x64\'x12\' Pole Barn
Thanks RedDog for the info you gleaned for me already. I will be watching this thread for updates. I like the prices you quoted albeit a little rich. That's not to imply you overpaid as I have no idea but for a light that should last a long time and the clean look, I shouldn't have to touch it again except maybe a bulb change.
Thanks - Clyde

Great looking barn Reddog. I hope to build one in the next few years and what I have planned is very similar to yours.

Re: 40\'x64\'x12\' Pole Barn
What does a light like that cost , i was going to put up wally world lights but somthing like that would be nice. I here that the floresent lights dont last long,,,, but i figured for what they cost i could replace them as they went bad. Very nice barn makes my little rough lumber barn look like a dog house....LOL
