I have been very pleased with the Butler Buildings System 30x75x12'eave height I have that was erected by The L.A. Brett Co, from Wadley,Ga. it is a very high quality building, and they assembled it on site in 3-1/2 days, I felt that was excellent time for 3 workmen and one boom truck operator. Of course everything fit and they did not have to spend time cutting with torch and banging with sledge hammers. Only problem I had was I forgot to request that the 2 walk in doors be keyed alike, that error cost me a trip to the locksmith and $8.00, so I guess it wasn't too bad,I am very pleased with the building, but just like everyone else I wish it was 3x the size it is! The trouble with the narrow doors is that it is harder to back a trailer in a 10' than a 12', and the cost is not that much more. I think it is always good to have 2 large doors, roll-ups in my case positioned across from each other to give what I consider "drag thru capability", makes it much easier to get a non-running object towed in to repair. The next thing is the most important thing to me INSULATION on all sides and the top of the building, here in central Ga. in the 100* weather it can make about 20* cooler and takes very little heat in the winter. Also the roof ventilator that opens and closes is great for letting heat and smoke out,but close it in the cold weather and keeps heat in the building. Alsp studded and put plywood or osb board over insulation to make a workspace/wall that was painted white and has outlets,switches etc. in it like sheetrock in house, painted white enamel for light reflecting too. Poured a 4" fiber glass seamless floor, wwwith plastic under it to control moisture seepage, and set a 4" pipe in the concrete before pouring floor and used that for one leg of the 1/2" plate welding table with a large vise mounted on it, don't have to chase the table all over the floor if beating on something. Also sky lights are like a case of the plauge, they ALWAYS LEAK! They are warranted for half the time that the rest of the building is,because the fiberglass deterioates in the U.V. rays from the sun shine.
