Toadshed shell build

The Eagle Metal Buildings 20 X 30 structure we refer to as "The Toadshop" Begins! When I chose Eagle one of the factors I took into account was the $160 fee to setup, square and erect the roof and uncovered side walls. No way at all could I pass THAT up. % men got it done in just a few hours.

[@gordonturley7575]

It’s actually a very well written and comprehensive book kzbin.infoUgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 . I wanted to pair this with an updated book on local codes to start planning a post-retirement dream shop. I think I have just about everything I need between the two. The extra plans available for purchase towards the end are priced almost as much as full home plans, not little sheds however.

[@toadstead1]

8 feet is pretty much standard. however, with these you can pretty much choose what’s good for you!

[@glenchoitz9497]

Know this is an older video, but just wanted to say these guys doing these are amazing in how organized and quickly they get them up. Good call on paying the extra. I used to own a steel building bizz for just under 15 years and when they came out and did mine 2 years ago, I could not have done it myself, with wholesale pricing on the metal, and saved more than a $100 over their pricing. Similar size to yours, from the time they backed into driveway to when they pulled out, 59 minutes, 3 guys. Wish these guys had been on my building crews.

[@toadstead1]

I could not agree more. This crew was amazing. I do wish the metal building company survived Covid…shame. Thanks for watching a taking the time to comment!

[@jeanettewaverly2590]

Kow-A-Bunga, Toad! That was awesome! Yet another great crew to expand upon the work done by the slab layers-and-levelers. I'd say you got some bang for your buck outta this deal. The toadstead is comin along fabulously. (Buen trabajo, muchachos!)

[@toadstead1]

+Jeanette Waverly Thanks!

I once contemplated rebuilding a fence around my back yard. I finally decided it would be best to let the fence company do it. These two Hispanic guys showed up early in the morning. I said to myself, ya right, no way could these two guys put my fence up in a day. After watching those guys work I said thank god I opted to have someone else do it. Was amazing to watch those guys work. Hispanics are talented craftsmen. Glad things are going well on the Toadstead!

Four professional men worked for three hours (not including their travelling time) and their employer charged $160! Given that it took that experienced professional team of four men three hours to complete the task, you obviously accepted that outstanding offer! It would be utter madness not to have! Good on you for supplying the crew with food and drinks, and for giving them a monetary Thank You, they'd have really appreciated your kindness. And for your kindness, you've got a new subscriber!

There used to be a group just north of me that built steel homes. There were built a lot like this. They could lift one end of the house up & it wouldn't bend or torq. They make great buildings.
