thompsonboat Topic Author Offline Platinum Boarder Posts: 1418 Karma: 188 Thank you received: 19	Day two of construction on my new toy box. 34' x 70' pole shed. It is to small for all my boaty toys, but it is the largest I can build per the zoning ordinances. Trusses get hoisted in place tomorrow.

That's not in the near future however. I'll be flat broke (again) as soon as I pay for this shell. Andreas Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

Wow! what a great stucture. I have a 24x48 storage barn. It holds 2 boats 2 snowmobiles a pontoon and my 2002 Dura Max truck plus other odds and ends. Two other boats are still covered and outside. Plus another pontoon.
My Garage is packed full of other stuff including my 1970 Bearcat,two generators, powerwasher and you name it.
End result . You never have enough storage.

MarkS Offline Moderator Posts: 5348 Karma: 118 Thank you received: 5	It looks great Andreas, very nice indeed! What's with the walls not going all the way to the ground? I'm guessing (please keep in mind I know nothing about building construction) it's to leave room to pour a slab of concrete later??? Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

Mouse access.

Yes, slab will be poured later. But another board has to be installed once the frost is out of the ground next summer. Since the ground was frozen and they attempted to dig it out but failed, they built it higher than was planned. They could have gotten it dug out but it would have cost ME a bunch more money. One of those construction decisions quickly made on the spot. Good thing I work from home and could be on site.
