Been planning and wanting a new garage/pole barn for years to replace my termite ridden and rotten shed. Seems something always comes up for me to spend the money on since I insist on paying cash for the new shed. Finally broke down and told my wife if we got to have beans and water for dinner every night I am building a shed.
So a couple of weeks ago I went and bought some 2x6's to make the laminated post. 2x6 wood gets treated better than 6x6 post. I also went with marine grade #1 southern pine treated to .80 CCA. While it cost about double lumber store treated lumber this stuff is made to be put in the ground.
Then today I went to buy the steel angle iron trusses. While these trusses normally take 14.7 foot metal (12 foot run + 2 foot overhang) I am getting them special made to fit the 14 foot metal I found in their scrap pile (12 foot run + 16 inches overhang) So they are paid for and should be ready in about a week.
Their scrap pile is made up of metal that was cut to order and then no one picked up; or the color was wrong; or what ever reason. Sells for $1.00 a running foot. I found 35 pieces of 26 gauge painted (light gray) PBR panels 14 feet long. I bought 20 pieces of it that will be enough for my 24 x 27 shed with 16 inches of overhang on all sides. Should have gotten 30 at that price and added a 14 x 30 lean to on one side of the shed. Thing if they still have them when I go back next week to get my trusses I will get 10 more.
So with my post; and metal in hand; trusses being built; all I need is the insulation; screws; ridge cap; and purlins; and at least the roof will be done and I will have a sorta dry place to put my boat and tractor.

Today's Featured Article - The Ferguson System Principal An implement cutting through the soil at a certain depth say eight inches requires a certain force or draft to pull it. Obviously that draft will increase if the implement runs deeper than eight inches, and decrease if it runs shallower. Why not use that draft fact to control the depth of work automatically? The draft forces are
