    Started a post yesterday, but got sidetracked and didn't do a save.
    :picard:

    Thanks to all of you for the helpful advice.

    I was planning to do wire mesh as well as the fiber mesh, but what I saw at the box store looked like someone fished it from the ocean.
    o_O

    As it stands, the concrete will get poured on Wednesday, and I'll deal with any issues later. Not what I'd necessarily prefer, but the die is cast.

    I did run 3" PVC conduit for water line, and 2" PVC for grey water. Planning to put in a utility sink.

    Electric will likely be around another $1k, and we did go with the doors, so the other lean to will have to wait for a bit.

    Very nice:rootintootin: and I'm a little jealous as we are holding off on our build.

    I can see the stacks under the lean too now. :stack::stack::stack::stack::stack::stack:

    One still has to wonder how long before you wish you'd have went larger? :rofl: :lol: Regardless, you are going to love it.

    It looks like 24 x 40 to me, just looking at the building and the truss layout. Plus the lean- to added onto that

    Probably won't be long.
    :rofl: :lol:

    One thing though, they over-ordered materials, I'm used to the practice as I've known several contractors over the years.

    Edit... They were going to take excess materials and post cutoffs, but I nixed that quickly. We paid for the materials, they stay.

    So, I have 4 leftover 4x6x16 PT posts, 13 bags of concrete. So another lean to wouldn't require much more material, and might be done next year.
