I sold my 66 and added savings to build 42 x 50 metal building. The plan was more space for my future builds and fab equipment and do some side work to make a little $$ toward projects. Long story short I got bent over with no lube. I interviewed several builders and did not get a warm and fuzzy about any but one but all he was is a piece of crap smooth talker. The concrete started cracking everywhere a short time after it was built. The first rain poured water inside one side. He came out to fit that and the next rain there was a lake in the other side. From the amount of fasteners used to the structure of the building there are problems. After a few trips back out to "FIX" stuff that he never did he disappeared. To this day I don't even have a final invoice. I was at work and told my wife "DO NOT GIVE HIM THIS FINAL PAYMENT UNTIL YOU GET THE INVOICE!!" Some how he talked her out of it saying he would be right back with it and of course never did.
I have had a lot happen in the last few years so I have need not had the chance to even deal with fixing the building water fall walls so I can even wire the damn thing. Its basically a 42 x 50 storage garage right now. I wired lights and one (dry) wall so I can get a little done but its nothing like what it should be yet.
