I have not written in a long time thought i would let every one know what i am up to. We sold our home of 32 years moved in with our son and we are building a barndominium on my son's land. It has 3000 square ft under roof. 1000 sq ft of living area and a 2000 sq ft work shop/party room/what ever you you want to do room. The ceiling is 25 ft tall in the shop It will have a lift to work on cars. It will be a complete shop with tools to do any thing on a car or truck and a wood working shop also. The whole thing will air conditioned and heated.

A barndominium if you don't know is a house built inside metal building.

Pictures please. We need updates showing your progress at least twice a week but every other day would be better . No people, just the Barnzarama thing. What is the Sq ft design load of the steel building . Probably no snow load , any live load or wind load allowed for ?

PICTURES my friend, we need pictures.

Good to hear from you...it's been quite a long time. Looks like you are doing as well as ever, and EXCERCISE EXERCISE still part of your daily routine. Great example!

That's excellent. Did you do the pour yourself?

It took 7 experienced men 5 hours of non stop work to pour the drive and foundation. I could not do it when i was 20. 90 yards of cement.

They ran a motorized trowel on it from 7 pm to 10 am the next morning. It just would not dry enough for them to finish it. My job was to feed the fire so they could keep warm. I used 30 1 foot by 3 ft longs to keep it going. It dropped to 22 degrees but nothing froze.

What state? I did heavy construction for 20 years ago I know exactly what you're talking about. Glad everything worked out. That's alot of concrete. I once worked on pouring the second floor for the Amazon warehouse in Carteret NJ, 800 yards a day for 30 days 😐. Its fun to watch. You had some good guys, that they stayed in it 👍
