Wow it's amazing what a good crew can get done in short time. How many man crew? Nice looking building so far, keep the pictures coming.
 
About 5 years ago, I had a Cleary 30x48 building put up.

From start to finish was 2 1/2 days, not counting hanging the over head doors, or pouring the floor.
 
Great looking structure. That is certainly great progress in one day. My two teenage sons helped me build our 36x48x12 barn in 1984. None of us had any prior experience. We managed to auger the holes for the poles. LOL
What did you use to lift your trusses into place?
 
?I got the Jubilee out an removed the sun before they got there.,?
Removing the sun is a tough job for a Jubilee and fortunately the sun came back. I?m guessing that was supposed to be snow removal. LOL.

Good looking building so far, should be a great addition.
 
Hey George, looks great! I'll bet the construction crew really appreciated all the time and effort you spent on site prep; that surely made their job easier.

I'm looking at the twin purlins at the 12 foot level. Are those for skylights? Or is are the siding sheets 12 feet long with a 2 footer on top?

What happened with your plans to shingle the roof?
 
Those seeds are really expensive. And I think they grow slower up North. I planted some in October, and they won?t be ready until next spring sometime. Kinda like the 2019 corn crop.
 
Look into metal buildings,Carolina Metal Buildings will put up an all metal building cheaper than those type in a week and it won't catch fire and burn down.Friend had a shop built two large doors,walk in door,2 windows,concrete floor complete job was about $12,000.Real nice shop.
 
Yes, skylight under the eves.
The SNOW had to go, almost 5+ inches, bottom layer was wet SNOW, then turned to ice.
 
Wow you had a lot of snow ! Here in my part of Ohio barely any on the ground.
No vapor barrier under the metal ? It will rain inside. Or are you going with the spray foam ?
 
I wish my smart phone could do that. I'm sick of snow all ready, but first I guess I would need to get a smart phone like yours.------------------Loren
 
I hired a crew to put up that exact same building - except 12' tall instead of 14' tall. They showed up at 4:00 on a Saturday afternoon and I thought they were just going to check out the site and make sure everything had shipped. They started work (no high lift equipment - just 4 guys in a truck) and had it done by 5:00 on Sunday. That was 18 years ago and no issues. The walls were nailed on and the roof was screwed on. The "skylights" were mounted in the wall instead of the roof.
 
Usually its the contents that burn. If you have flaming fuel tanks in tractors or a couple thousand bales of hay burning I doubt its going to make much difference if the building is steel or wood frame - you'll be putting up a new one.
 
Interesting. I had a 10' boom pole made to fit my Wagner loader on my 8N in place of the hydraulic dump bucket. It allowed me to extend the reach above the centerline of balance of the trusses and I had a person on each wall to position them.
 
Do you have any venting in that shed?.Neighbors put up a shed with no venting and in an attempt to prevent condensation they kept the doors open but that didn't work so now they just park anything they use a lot outside and the shed has junk in it. Rusting. In a design such as yours you should have a continuously vented ridge and vented soffits with bird proofing. A black or dark colored roof will further help in preventing condensation and at 14' high will not get excessively hot if it has enough doors that you can open up. Of course, if you plan on heating it, that's a different matter.
 
Wow! That's fast! 6.5 hours. Did they stop for lunch? What size is your building? Looks like 2X4, double W trusses. Care to mention the price? I'm thinking of building one too. I wish you had made a video of them building it. I could use some pointers.
It sure looks nice!
 
Yea I hear that theory all the time but 99% of the buildings I know that burned down were wood frame.Most shops I've known caught fire from something like someone using a torch and a spark set the wood on fire.All things considered its harder to burn metal than wood.
