Pole Barns

Doesn't look like much. All the lumber and trusses are banded together, he had a rollback flatbed, just angled it back and slid the whole thing off! He had to unload the bags of cement by hand, though.

Looks like the start of a great project!! Watch your thumbs! And then have fun filling it up!!

I really lucked out about a month ago and scored two 12 x 24 sheds. A campground near us was sold off for development and they auctioned off the "cabins" that were there. They were basically 12 x 24's with various bump-outs built on them for water heaters, kitchens, bath's, porches etc. The catch was you had to get them moved within 2 weeks or lose them. I only hoped to get one for storing the lawn tractor, splitter, rototiller, etc. but ended up with two since they were going so cheap (musta got auction fever)! My kid now has a deluxe playhouse and I have my storage. I had some great help from a fellow coal burner getting the cabins ready to be moved. It was a bit of a race to get the pads prep'ed and stone brought in ahead of moving day. I hired a local guy that sells sheds to move them for me and he did a great job. They both made it to their new home in one piece.

The cabins sound perfect for storage.

CB Structures augered the holes for the posts today, they should be back to start setting the posts tomorrow. Wife's not happy with the mess outside. Looks like one of my projects only king sized.

Don't forget your mantra, post pictures, we love pictures!

You asked for it, you got it, Terry.

This morning there were only the holes for the posts, this is what I came home to at 5 PM:

My wife is going to kill me when she gets home and sees this. Good thing it's dark out. I guess my usual "That's been there for years!" won't work this time.

Wow, those guys don't mess around. Very nice. I'm very jealous!

Now that is a nice building. If you have us all over and let us put in a couple of s/s poles, bar, and a few tables we could make it a nice looking place, oh and I guess some shutters too, lol. But really it is a nice building for doing things in, Wish I had one. I spend to much money on my John Deere heard at least that is what the wife says. She won't let me spend any more money till I get rid of some of this stuff.

looking real nice John. guys don't mess around.

I've got a CB Structures building also. It's four years old and I'm still very happy with it. If you look at the pictures, notice how the poles go all the way to the roof line. Makes the entire building stronger. It's one of the little things that distinguishes CB Structures from some of the others.

ooh! nice!
got a coal stove for it picked out yet?
fix that truck so you can haul coal easier!

We all need a building that size! It would make my house look like a dollhouse.

I'm going to heat it with a propane heater....not!

Gentleman Janitor boiler, radiant heat in the slab, and a few radiators to heat the air.

Hmmm...a stripper pole....I have to think about this...

That is some awesome progress! Looks great!

They finished around noon today. Next week the doors will be installed, still waiting on the cupola. I'm also waiting on the excavator to return to grade it.
