Gable and side wall overhang....necessary or not?

[PhysAssist]

Makes sense to me ...

Unfortunately, to floor just one (of the three) bays (each 24' x 42') I'm looking at about double the amount of 'crete and rebar to do the entire outside apron ...

Looking back at some old notes, I had a rough cost of around $400 for the rebar for a single bay ... but there was no cost per foot/pound ... so I'm not sure how accurate that $400 number is.


Yeah ... I was kinda surprised myself.


I've got a piece of 10 or 12 gauge outdoor burial running to ours at the moment, just laying on the ground ... it's hooked up to the panel in the barn ... ... mainly for lights.

I've got the 2/0 AL direct burial cable for the service, just need to get one of those round tuit things ...


If you're going to R & R the existing roof, I wouldn't think it would be too bad.

I also have a smaller concrete block shed (28 x 32) on the property that has a 12" overhang on the sides only ... I want to put a 24" overhang on it when I replace the roof.

Probably will pull the sheathing and then nail up 2 x 4 purlins on edge to extend it on the gable ends.

Would sure make it look a lot better.

I kinda figured that pouringvyour floor would be a massive project.

I prolly shoulda specified that the HD extension cord I mentioned is a direct-bury 10/3 cable with HD plugs on the ends.

Thanks all for the Rain Handler comments.
