A Quonset building is relying on the anchorage at the ground to hold it down and keep it from flattening out. As others have said lego blocks? whatever they are, probably will not give you the lift protection or side support needed for your building. Drainage will be a huge issue as a lot of water will cascade down both sides to saturate the soils alongside your support blocks. Your area probably has a frost line near 48 inches. A cast in place concrete wall down below frost line will give you, 1) a good point of anchorage for the side wall. 2) great horizontal support for the bottom of the sides. 3) Best opportunity to direct drainage away from the building with backfill at the cast in place wall. I do know of a Quonset that is setting on crushed stone, the closed in end walls hold it together and keep the wind from lifting. So it can be done. Do whatever you want or can afford. Many times I have regretted doing something on the cheap. You will be so happy to have a building for your stock and machinery. I know I was. gobble

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
