Although from reading Dons thread it appears they don't normally use these posts but just sit them on blocks so for the benefit of the doubt maybe a learning curve there for them. Or the employees didn't ask & went rogue as they sometimes do.....I think that is it. He builds sheds on skids normally. He has built over 20,000! This is a bit out of the norm for him. However Mike builds nice stuff, has for decades and is known to stand behind his work..I texted Mike about your concerns. He just replied, Lag bolts are going in today!On the single band board...Ya know, again, I am no engineer, however a 2 X 12 supported every eight feet is pretty stout. Looking at the foundation of my and other houses, yea, I see doubled up lumber but those are 2 X 10's, right?

Nice
Don, very happy for you. I know it feels good to start to get some permanence to the hide. As for all the armchair building going on , we care. But just remember one thing a good friend of mine and I had to agree on. When you are writing the check, you are the only one that has to be happy. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
End with barn doors is gunna be tool shed right? Attach a lean to off that side to work under & would make it very nice..... Or buy a shipping container & place it out about 20' for extra storage and then build roof between the two structures
As us armchair builders "suggest", you do know much of this is in fun and experiance over our lives, perhaps a little shorter than yours. Something I found quick was the bounce in my 14ft floor (16ctr-2x10) With that huge open space you are going to get some bounce. I put a 4x4 under my center on pier blocks.Sure looks like a nice size "shed" 8)
Really nice Don- upon first look I thought that it needs a steeple, or bell tower....Don's Schoolhouse?
A small "turret" up there with a crew served weaponwould look good.
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
Have to say I love the color scheme, the green comp looks great on the burgundy paint Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
