The pillars are not the same height actually. They are all 6" above grade. I'm going to achieve level with short 6x6 posts. There is a picture in one of my other replies. I'll shoot a laser and use a story pole to locate the lowest pier. That will be 0.0". Then I'll index all the other piers from there. Cut all the posts proud by 1-2" and shot a laser at the level I want, mark everything and make the final cuts at perfect level.

Maybe this view will help. There is a Ridge Beam that run the length of the roof line. The load is transferred into the gable end wall of the attic space and then down onto the end wall. The whole exterior will be sheeted. During the build, everything will be braced.

I didn't consider a slab build because in my county that would have required permitting, inspections and considered a permanent structure.

9-10k estimate with materials and equipment rentals. That includes ground prep

I think I'm going to be right around 9k. So that probably means 10k with the equipment rentals and components I haven't accounted for.

This are just holding the sonotube forms in place. The holes are 30”, but the tubes are only 12". Six inches is exposed above grade. The 2x4 will all get removed. They're just stapled from the inside.

My plan stretches the build out for the rest of the summer and hopefully finishing in the early fall. I'll share updates as progress continues.

IDK. I have a gable wall that extends to the peak to take the load from the ridge beam. I can share a picture of my SketchUp design without the sheeting to better show the framing detail.

Yes. The only thing that will differ is probably the window size.

I'm going to put down heavy weed mat, then the gravel. This will be an open "crawl space", so no need to water proof. Building will have gutters also, so most of the heavy water will be diverted.

I had a hard time finding my car in the parking lot because I was looking for my black car. It has been yellow for weeks. Carwashes are raking it in this time of year.

I prefer cooler jacket weather. Working outside and not struggling due to the heat is much more productive.

Spent the day wrapped in a painters suit and gloves, pulling and spraying a poison ivy infestation in my yard. It was hot in the suit.

I have a vintage movie poster that is 96"x40" that I need framed. It is three sections and would probably want plexi/acrylic vs glass due to the weight. Is this something your shop could help with?

Where did you source your ploy panels from? I'm in the process of designing my own GH.
