Morton buildings worth the $$$

Morton builds a fancy building. BCI builds a nice building; plenty of quality; good crews, good company. Might want to try them. Surely not worth the price differential..... to me anyway. They are located in NE Okla. and service 2 to 3 states over all around them.

As for Morton buildings, I've heard great stories about them and their warranty work, and have heard bad. Probably depends on the quality of the contractor in the area used. Suppose is like Harley wrenches, everyone knows the best, everyone else stinks, even if are someone else's Hog God. You won't hear me talk them down. I've seen some nice Morton buildings.

How's that lab doing there Butcher? Mine is doing better. Blood and biopsies came back negetive. Vet figures is bad yeast infection. So, washing paws with medicated shampoo, and plenty of white vinegar, and hiding huge pills and capsules in cheese and ??? Pads are clearing up. Got snowed in in Joliet this weekend, but hear he's having fun trouncing around in in big snow back home in Indiana. Sorry, didn't get picture of Hog, but will. Hope your's, she is doing better. What'd ya find out? How's she doing?

How about, "Waiting for the roof to completely strip itself then I'll call a painter".

What grounds can you go back on them if you say, "The warranty is only good to the original owner (read the fine print)". Seems like you will spend more money and energy to no avail. I can look around the countryside and see plenty of the type of buildings (era) that you speak off. I just can't beleive you would be sucessful, but maybe you know that too, waiting this long (3 plus years). It does make us feel better to vent. If it is a 20 year warranty, might it take 9 more years for the paint to peel off?

Cleary isn't cheap when they have to meet snow load specifications.

I do prefer laminated posts to solid posts. The laminated posts stay straight longer and split less. And when the truss sits down in the top of the laminated posts held in place with widely spaced big bolts that connection is strong.

Post and truss spacing depends a great deal on the strength chosen for the posts and especially for the trusses. Longer spans sometimes are more economic with closer spaced trusses, sometimes not. It depends a lot on the size of the 2x used to make the trusses. Then the required strength depends on the snow load you expect the roof to hold and whether you intend to put up a ceiling or to store stuff in the trusses.
