Random pics (that you took) thread...

I prefer them to stay 12'!

The idea is to pour a column in the tube and use a wet set bracket to hold the post on the top of the column. If you level all the tops of the columns with a transit you can build an entire wall on the ground in the brackets and then lift it at one time.

Here is a great explination on preping the tubes then setting the perma column brackets. Second one is building the walls and third is lifting the the walls. Jump to the third video if you just want to watch them lift the walls.

This is what I figured you were gonna do, just wasn't sure. It looks like a fantastic way to build.

Setting posts in concrete will cause them to rot faster,so I've been told. When I built the wife's barn I wrapped the posts with felt anywhere they would come in contact with concrete, including the floor in the center aisle/tack room.

Technically the tack room never actually has been enclosed but she likes it so I keep my mouth shut. [emoji1]

Stall floors for horses should be a stone base with rubber mats, not concrete.

My buddies dad who was Red Forman meets the Marlboro Man had made his horse stalls a sand pit covered with bridge plank on end with a little gap between the boards and then the mats. Easiest stalls I've ever cleaned in my life.

Guys they make different green treated posts as well. With a different treating content. For anything with ground contact or below grade you want .60 green treated posts. I have one at my house built in the 70's and that thing will be here at least another 50 years without a problem.

You can also do permanent wood foundations for frost footings, crawl spaces and basements. Built properly they will last forever and are much cheaper and easier to do.

Oh yes, I know all about it. My BIL builds horse barns if you want to call them that. You'll see what I mean if you visit his site. www.oldtownbarns.com

The post will still be pressure treated but they will sit in the steel bracket on top of the concrete.

Yep, I read about .60 green treated post.. I'll likely be using them but unsure yet. My neighbor built his basement foundation walls with treated lumber. I think hes crazy. Idk if he saved any money, it's a large house.

Picked up 23 more today for a total of 40 tubes!

Around here even the green ones rot! And the old ones had better(or worse) chemicals in them, have seen the green ones completely hollow! They are still a good product but some areas are different than others, I can’t believe what other parts of the country gets away with for building codes, but every area is different

That's the way to load em! If an angle had been cut inna few, at different distance from the end, might have played like a flute

Measured this Douglas Fir at 64” diameter at about 5’ off the ground...

I should have loaded one less honestly. Had to stop 4-5 times to fix them. Having the one tube at the very top made it so it wanted to split the pile and made one at the bottom side want to kick out. We stopped at a gas station and scrounged up two 2x4s to slip under the middle strap to help keep them in a pyramid. It was entertaining and we didnt make the local news... win!

Got a decent load of Cedar today. Also got to spend a few hours hanging out with my nephew...

Looks like someone around there did a lot of work with a very large dredge.
