Ongoing Steel Building.


This is a 60X80X16 steel building we have been working on since spring, and I just now realized I had pictures that were not posted. Rigid frame design, this one is for a good friend, and we work on it as we get time, and probably isn't doing my popularity any good. There are more people in my home town worried about this building and why it isn't done then the owner or me and this may be costing me jobs, since they think I don't finish a job I have the doors in my back yard, under a shade tree, for fabrication in the heat of the day, and we can only work on it early mornings when it is dead calm due to the roof sheets, plus heat.......I ordered this building a year ago. It was delivered last January.

Re: Ongoing Steel Building.


I have never done a full steel building like that. I assume it's an erector set and pretty straight forward?

Lots of tricks that make it easy....but yes, pretty much. If you can follow prints and it helps to be around a good erector once at least.

Perfection takes time right? It's going to be the best damn steel building in Oklahoma when you're done.

When I first got into construction, it was as an ironworker. I see pics like that and it sure makes me miss those days.
