Like the floor plan, looks great. Been in ours for 9 years and love it!

I am amazed at the hard work. I worked all week making a footer for my house move. I literally feel like the cement truck backed over me.

Drilling piers today, taken 30' to get to shale... tons of sand out here

So are you doing the piers to help prevent cracking and buckling of the foundation?

Yes, majority of the weight will be on grade beam under metal I beam columns, and there was fill on one side. I wanted to make sure under the stress points there was a pier to help prevent settling. It rained 4-5" when we built the pad and we were able to compact it good with a dozer but I felt for the cost piers were good insurance.

That's what I figured, thanks. I think it's a wise decision. Best of luck on the build. Looks good!

got most of the metal today, I put a coat of primer on the I beam. I figure once this is done I’ll never see it again, so why not. Makes for a sore back and legs.

Fun stuff for sure. From what I've read you've done a really good job planning this out over time. Congratulations on your property and build.

Great looking place you have. Following this for sure as my wife and I are fixing to close on 13 acres for us to build a barndo, house or buy a manufactured home to put on it.
