stick build.


the main section (20x24) is there now we are just pouring the slab inside.then the rest will be added on as soon as the slab is dry. and raising the roof 8'. the concrete work alone is 14 grand. we will probly be in it about 20 by the time is is all done. we will do all the framing ourselfs. i do know that they will have 7 finishers ut there on saturday to get the concrete finished. and that they have to pump the concrete about 150-200' back to the farthest point.



we will also be running copper airlines in the walls and lots of electrical plugs. i would loved to had a metal shop but we already had this so thats what we are working with.

Is 45 yards for everything? I mean the sidewalk, apron and all? I'm gonna build a 30'x30' with an 8" slab, and figured 22 yds.
How deep are your footings?

can i move into it?...i have a little knowledge about the construction industry, i'm sure i can help a little with the framing..... :flipoff2:

in reality, if you are doing the framing yourself and need anything (angle cuts, rafter lengths, window framing etc.etc.etc.) let me know.

why did you choose 6" slab instead of a 4" out of curiosity ?

i dont want to have to worry about it ever cracking. it will be stronger for when i do get a lift. and if i ever have to mount anything in the floor.


they are also doing a 6 bag mix instead of the std 5 bag mix:grinpimp:

You might also consider having them add fiber reenforcement for an extra 6 bucks a yard.

kinda what i was thinking. use the fiber reinforcing and not have to use so much.
