Our New 60x40x16 Metal Building Thread

[ITHINKICAN]

The last sequence of photo's showed an opening in the roof - there is a reason for that... the GC claimed the metal building company shorted them on roof panels. The metal building company claims they triple checked their count. Hence the last photo was at the end of day three...

On day four they didn't work. On day five they finished up by doing the final roof panel and then they installed the remainder of the trim.

And FINALLY the moment we've all been waiting for... DRUM ROLL PLEASE... :cool2:

Sorry for posting the construction pics so slowly... I felt a little :confused2:
The powerlessness took a little out of me... it was kinda like having something stuck in my throat.

Rather than roll the dice we hired a door expert to install the roll doors. They did an excellent job. :thumbsup:

At the end of the day - we are VERY VERY excited to own 31 acres with a 2400 sq ft metal building on it.

Thank you to EVERYONE who observed and helped along the way. We've done a few things in the last two months - As we make repairs & then improve the building - and as we improve the land - we'll keep all of our new friends here on TBN inside the loop!!

We intend to tighten up all the loose ends and enjoy the HECK out of every inch of our property. We are on :cloud9:
It's hard to tell but deep down inside - I am :cool2:

I'm tempted to start another thread and post pictures of the puddles in our building. :drink:

That's called a special feature. At least he didn't charge extra for it.

ITHINKICAN, I just went through your entire thread!:thumbsup: Thanks for all the pictures, and sorry for all oyur troubles....But! I was very impressed with your "Glass half full" attiutde through it all. You mentioned somewhere along the way that you would like to be a GC, but could not, basically because of your ethics. IMHO, maybe you should be a GC, because of your ethics:thumbsup: There is no rule out there that says an honest man can't make a buck. You might not make a quick one, but you can make one, and sleep at night. I have been in construction for 20+ years now, and have been around, and worked for a lot of unethical (sp?) contractors. I don't want what they have. Now I will get down off my soap box and say thanks one more time for sharing your "build" jmmy ps. when I get satrted on my place I'll be letting you all know.

Congratulations on the dry-in ITIC!:thumbsup:

Now, be sure and let us know how quickly you fill it up!:laughing:

Also, what plans/ideas do you have for wiring/lighting? Gonna have any shelving/storage areas or are you just gonna keep it all open?

They might be related to our GC - inbreds maybe... :laughing:

I'm tempted to start another thread and post pictures of the puddles in our building. :drink:

If you do start another thread, please post a link to it here. Puddles, do I get puddles in my garage thanks to poor workmanship.

I wouldn't be surprised if Matt Walter and C.B. Collins are inbred.
