Here is a shot as she stands today. Pretty much framed. Roof will be next.

Looks good. Yours is a little bigger than mine. What size is it?

Thanks Paul,
It's 36 x 45 with 12 ft walls. The truss chords are raised to 15 ft in the center. The two overhead doors are 10 x 10. The wife thinks I over did it...she was expecting a garden shed sized building. But...what the heck, I'll be retiring in a few years and I need a retreat.

Bill,

Why don't you put all of your photos in the same Subject Heading group, rather than creating a new one for each picture?

Regards,
Dave "Gatorboy" Hoffmann

Let me guess, its a Morton Building. They are my compatition in the pole structure buildings. Good builders but pricey. I have a JD 210c that we use exactley like your builder did, digger, boom, side and front scaffold set ups.

LOL There is no such thing as over kill. I am planing a 30x40 after the house goes up, but for now I am building a 12x16 shed. Some people say that is over kill for a shed, but, well, you know.[see line one]/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

gatorboy,

Yes, I realized what I did wasn't the best way to post...after I did it. It is kind of confusing. Next time I'll use a new subject and post any following photos as "replys." Sorry about that...I also noticed I used the same title as a recent post by Paul...also confusing I'm sure. Nothing like really messing up...too much sun and suds I guess.

shanek,

Yes it is Morton. I liked what I saw in terms of quality. I was not too impressed with some of the other work I had seen around here. They sure have the whole thing down to a system. Wish I could have had you bid on mine./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Morton buildings are the Cadillacs Bill, you wont regret going with them. They finished mine last Christmas I have pictures like yours but no scanner (compoooters aint my hobby) You have beautiful setting, but might want to invest in a "gutter helmet" setup.

My buildings are better built than Morton, they set thier truss 8'o.c., and they are difficult to finish the interiors. But like I said, " they are good builders" but by far not the best.
