    Very nice @SGH

    What are the posts, 6 x 6? Did you set them direct in concrete? What do you plan for cladding?

    They are 6x6 pressure treated posts. I set the posts in 36" deep holes and filled the holes half way up with sand to hold the poles square and level. In the pics you can see my form boards around the bottom outside of the posts. When I pour my slab the top half of the post holes will be filled with concrete. I'm pouring a 6" thick, reinforced slab so the posts will be held up by the 6 inches of the above ground slab, plus 16 inches of the holes that will be filled with concrete as well. Under that is the 16 inches of sand. 
    I hope I explained that where it's understandable. I did not set them in or with concrete, I used 16 inches of sand. But when I pour the slab, they will be surrounded by 6 inches of above ground concrete, and supported by 16 inches of underground concrete. 
    When I get the slab poured and remove the form boards, I will take some close up pics that will make the above more clear.

    All clear. I thought maybe you were going with a dirt floor, or compacted road planings. A 6 inch reinforced floor is a proper job, you could put a nice lift on that for your vehicles (my dream home workshop).

    Just finished installing 11 of these. Pork butt on the medium with whiffs of pecan in the air makes the work much better.

    @kl8ton - do you know if blackstone, or another company, sells just the griddle?  I'm not in a position to purchase a Blackstone but a large stovetop griddle surface might be reachable...  Thanks!

    Sitting in LaGuardia on my layover.  It's not enough that the airport is a sh!thole, they have to blast bad music over the speakers.

    It's going to be a 24'x50' building on a 6" reinforced slab. This may sound stupid, but right now I'm not building it for any particular reason. 
    A friend of mine who builds houses and buildings got his hands on a lot of "seconds" lumber. He was kind enough to let me get a good bit of it. If you take away the cost of the concrete, this building will only have about 2 thousand bucks of material in it. With that said, I'm going to end up with a 24x50 building on a slab for about 7,000 bucks. So I thought why not. I have no doubt that once it's complete I will figure something out to do with it. Even if it's just used for storage.

    @SGH- you know how this will turn out.  Just like refrigerators, garages or closets-doesn't matter the volume, it will all get filled.  But good for you to go for it...You can't just randomly store free-market anus in any 'ol shack.  ;)

    From a simmer at 400 with the door prop mod, to 250, top off of more K, some chunks of peach, 19lbs of Schnuck's butt, Gates' Original Classic.  Pack of coyotes yippin' maybe 100 yards away.  Boys tucked in.  Stargazing conditions optimal.  Hopefully nobody falls out of the golf cart tonight at full speed.  I had faith, my stunt would be one upped, and it was.

    What type of roof are you putting on it?   Also what are you using for siding?   Get tall overhead doors if you can.  That way the @SGH Prevost can fit in there.
