SILVER Star
Was going to wait to start this until I had the roof on but oh well.
Quick and dirty details: we bought a project pre-foreclosure house in Spokane end of March ‘24. Been remodeling and waiting on permits for a pole building. Permits got approved mid August and I ordered my pole building kit the next day. It’s 36’x50’ and 14’ walls. Will have two 12x12 overhead doors and a 4’ man door on the front 36’ wall. Going to put in a 2 post lift and will have radiant heat floors and insulated/fully finished interior. I’m doing all the work myself/with friend’s help except the concrete slab floor.
Leading up to this, we had to have a whole new on site septic system installed (knew this going in) so we were able to move it and place the shop over the old drainfield, which is the best spot for it on the property. Not worried about settling; old drainfield was 18’ deep! So my lumber package and trusses showed up last Monday (sept 16). Wife and I poked all the holes in the ground Tuesday, inspection was Wednesday morning and concrete Wednesday afternoon. Other commitments meant I couldn’t do anymore work on it until afternoon today. A friend came over and I had a reach forklift delivered. We got the back gable truss and the pair in the next bay set but that was it. Next weekend I’ll get a boom lift and reach and should go much faster. Was a lot of prep I didn’t account for that ate up time today.
I’ve got a pretty ambitious timeline: done by end of this year (wife wants to park in the house garage when snow comes). Planning on having the floor poured in 3 weeks
I’ll update as more happens.
