Used/cheap shop building

Had a lull from my appendectomy. But we are back at it. Got one side braced up. Gonna try and get the other side by Friday. But it’s coming together!

Just me and my dad. Well, other than concrete.

I just went wild and bought a 4 cu ft Yardmax mixer and a skid of 60lb concrete bags. It should make all the little concrete projects much easier.

There's guys on YT that are doing 30x40 slabs for shops using those little mixers. That's some serious motivation right there.

Have you seen the guys doing dry pour concrete slabs? Seems crazy but there’s a guy
who did a pad and tested it. It’s pretty cool

I wouldn’t ever do that. Lol

Either set the poles in rock or pour a couple of bags of concrete around the BOTTOM of the post,dry is ok. To prevent the oklahoma downbursts from lifting your barn out of the ground.

What’s an Oklahoma downburst?

I wouldn’t on this. But if I was doing like an rv slab then heck yeah I would.

Yeah... I've experimented with it and it seems to hold up. But it's something that doesn't get heavy use.

It's pretty interesting.

It’s the same as what you guys call a slight south wind in the panhandle.
