So my neighbor has a pole-barn he asked me to help him fix. He put gypsum ("super lime" or "gyp" he calls it) in it on the floor. It got wet in the winter, expanded and broke several of the poles. 2 poles are not really holding any weight but one of the poles is still supporting the roof (these are on a load-bearing wall.) The existing posts were treated wood, buried almost 5 feet deep but not surrounded by poured concrete.
This is a building about 40x80 with one open side and a cement floor and sheet-steel or tin on the outside.
He wants to straighten the walls back up and get the weight back on those poles like it should be. His dad built that shed by hand probably 60-70 years ago so it"s pretty important to him to fix it.
I squared up a little 8x12 shed a few years back but this is a much bigger project and I"m not too sure how to begin on this one. Any advice would be appreciated!
