[QUOTE="TacomaJD, post: 639620, member: 1780"] I even thought about building a lot of it myself, but I figure after a couple days into that, I would wish I had paid someone to build turnkey. Discussed this with my builder buddy as a possible option. 32x32 with either 10 or 12' walls, with only 10' wide lean-to, probably fully enclosed from front to back = 320 sq ft storage. Me and him could get footer dug and poured. He could help me measure out to make sure layout is dead on and square. I order 8" block and a pallet of quickrete for me to lay the block myself. There's only about a foot of fall from front to back on the land, so I could lay 4 or 5 courses of blockb and end up with 2 courses of block above the concrete pad after it is poured, or just do 2 or 3 courses of block, backfill, and pour concrete pad flush with top of blocks. Concrete subbed out of course. Then stick frame walls out of 2x4's on possibly 2' centers (trusses would also be on 2' centers). Lad the walls with 2x6's before raising them as they are built, we could do that ourselves. Then once the walls are up and ready for trusses and metal, just get his whole building crew over there to finish out setting the trusses and metalling the walls and roof in a couple days. Got another buddy that has a garage door business, call him for doors. Then I can go back later and put up insulation batts in the stud walls myself, and line the interior walls and ceiling with osb. I have plenty vacation time to take off of work to build, but doing it that way, it would probably still be as much or more than pole barn style. But a block foundation sure does sound good, mow up against it, no erosion or exposed dirt pad to have to cover up like I did at my current shop. My brain's been going 200mph all day everyday thinking about how to do it so I don't regret anything later on. :o [/QUOTE]
