Hope everyone had a great Monday.
Sherm, I saw an ad for built post farm buildings, 32 X 40 was $17,500 plus end doors, taxes, etc., same size of a stick frame building was $16,490 with no concert. I expect there will be additional cost for site prep, over head doors, delivery, travel, etc. but it`s still quite appealing.
I agree about the concrete Gerry, dirt will do since I have other shops for vehicle repairs so this would be mainly for cold storage.
Bummer about your co-worker, shortens your Easter Weekend Grant.

For the HiQual a dirt/ground floor is fine. I just need to get some power into it and string a few lights.

That price seems a little high for not including the doors, and possibly holes. Groundwork will never be included in a package price because you never know how much trouble you might run into with it. I'm still undecided as to what I want to do for our daily vehicle storage. On one hand if I put an overhead door in the HiQual it would work quite well, but on the other hand, I would like to build a nice garage with a concrete floor for them. I have a set of trusses that measure 30'6" on the heel, and I believe I have enough to do a building 30'6" x 26' or so. My only decision is whether to do a grade beam + building, or floating slab + building. A pole building wouldn't be my choice these days with the water table being so high, when frost goes down it heaves pole buildings around like crazy.

Have a great day everyone!!

I agree that such a nice looking truck should have bumpers Gerry but even then I`d be very careful how and when I drove it.
Do you have any more info on that show Morris?

I wouldn't mind one of those fabric buildings but if I'm spending that kind of money, I'll spend a little extra and buy everything I need and volenteer some of my friends to help me build a real shop. Even if it's not as big and cost a little more, I like the security and I'd prefer a real door.

So today I lost to a newer hemi Durango . I didn't put it to the floor in the Explorers defence but I still don't think I would have won. Now if I had my truck, that would have been a different story lol

Hopefully tomorrow I'll be getting a line of credit, and hopefully I'll be picking up my girlfriends engagement ring tomorrow as well .

Hope everyone is staying healthy.

Be careful using that line of credit Randy, it's easy to spend but not as easy to pay back.

Thanks for the advice John. The reason why I got the line of credit is because it works almost the same as a credit card (and I have an online debit card for my account) but my interest is about 1/3 of what my current credit card is. Plus it's only $10,000 and I don't plan on increasing the limit.

I just hate seeing someone get into a mess, I know of more than a few who have. I use a credit card to my advantage not the other way round. Just a friendly reminder not meaning to interfere

Yeah I was in a pinch for a bit a few years ago when I first got my credit card but with some raises in pay and with recently paying off my snowmobile, and now with how money concious I am now I got things in much better control. If only I was as money smart as I am now when I first started working, I'd be a whole lot richer. But the advice is much appreciated
