Ron will you do a curbing for the walls like a garage or just put them on the flat slab?
September 25, 2015 at 4:03 am #399935I just want to see videos and pictures, it would be interesting if you can set up a timelapse too. I am addicted to the gopros timelapse feature.

The slab will be poured after the walls are up. It will have a treated 2×6 band around the bottom to pour to.

I will take pics as it goes. But sorry no timelapse.

Fayetteville, NCSeptember 25, 2015 at 7:20 am #400007That’s so awesome Ron..
Are you getting a ‘kit’, or piecing it yourself?
I have a 30×40, and really wish I had it insulated, but now it’s full and doing that now would be a huge job

Piecing it myself. Saved a few dollars doing it this way.

September 25, 2015 at 7:41 am #400027Cool thread Ron!. I will be following and probably asking a few questions on the way, if not just ingesting the info. What type of concrete are you using Ron?

I’m curious as to what the advantage to doing it this way is. We always built our walls on the slab and tilted up.

Yes I was wondering the same.
I subscribed to the thread. This is going great be another great thread.
September 25, 2015 at 11:11 am #400107I think he’s doing it ‘pole barn’ style… Just set post 6-10′ apart and go. Many times they’re just pt post set in tamped dirt or gravel holes

Shoot, I didn’t think there were any poles left that I would stick in the ground and expect to last forever.
I don’t think we could do that out here, any longer, unless it was just a small shed.

Thanks for clearing that up TQ. That’s why I was confused because we can not put post in the ground here.

InactiveCool thread, Ron; What size did you decide to go?
September 25, 2015 at 4:07 pm #400212When I built my old shop I built it post and beam style. It was 24′ x 48′. I think that is maybe what Ron is doing?
I started out like building a deck beam with 4 x 6 posts and then capped it. Then just framed the walls with 2 x 4 16 on center and trusses. It worked out great because then I could insulate and drywall, run wiring etc.September 25, 2015 at 7:39 pm #400267Here’s one going up now… It’s at a city yard(park dept)
The posts look like they’re finger jointed pt on bottom and syp on top

ProSweet topic. Is this a kit you bought or just a size you decided on Ron?
