    They had cut the ends off of the post he used. That is what he was taking initially till we put a stop to it. He over ordered on the post x 4. But we did get them back.

    How do you order 4 extra post for a pole building...I can see girts and purlins, but posts seems intentional. Maybe have 1 extra in case you mess one up, but even that should come out of the builders pocket.

    Did you get the rain Chaz ?

    Everything stayed east and south of us so things are pretty dry up here.

    Actually, the man above was very kind.

    Not only did it remain fairly dry, but twice this weekend I didn't have to syphon water via garden hose.. they had enough water inline to self start.
    :dancer:

    Still a muddy mess, but way better than it could have been.

    Looks real nice. Love watching build threads. You’ll always wish it was bigger, but the key is being organized with the space you do have. Could always build a loft or partial loft/mezzanine to store items you don’t use much. It poured here this holiday weekend as well.

    Indeed.

    I'll be thinking a lot on how to efficiently utilize the space available.

    Still need gutters to divert watershed, drainage, grade and backfill the wood storage area.

    More berm is supposed to be removed, we'll most likely use that for fill on the northern side.

    Gonna be a busy year.

    If you put gutters on, will you need snow stops for your metal roof?

    Not completely necessary, but would likely be beneficial.
