"This guy Al Hobbs was so nice and great to talk to...
I Had a very old ugly faded large side door awning that prevented me from driving all the way back on the driveway into my garage if the vehicle was a very high SUV or Box truck..I thought it was heavy but it turns out that is was aluminum.... Al's Tool box was just stolen out of the back of his truck while he was at Home Depot so he didn't have the right socket to remove the lag bolts attaching the awning to the house..he was going to make a run the the nearest Hardware store to buy the correct socket....I offered my minuscule collection of ratchet sockets to use ....hopefully not offending Al....he gracefully accepted!!! I had the right socket to complete the project...It took all of 20 minutes...more or less...Next cane the dreaded Shrub Stump...I tried everything trying to cut the root ball and stump out with no success...Al bought his Sawzall and dug up some of the earth(dirt) and cut the complete Stump and Root ball out..he then re-covered the hole with the earth (dirt) 
this took all of 20 minutes more or less...I paid for 2 hours of labor...but it took Al only 40-50 minutes tops...
We spent the next Hour or so just talking and enjoying each others company...I had Al look at a few more projects I'm thinking about having done next spring and he gave me some great prices on the projects and great advice for the projects that he could not do..(which were very few)
Al is a great contractor and his honesty and friendliness is so refreshing....You will not go wrong if you hire Al for ANY project needed!!!

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

While prices fluctuate because of increased demand, fewer supplies, and engineering time, OSB generally remains more affordable than plywood at $1 to $2.40 per square foot compared to the $4.50 to $10 for plywood. Cost is only one factor you should consider when deciding between OSB and plywood.

The timeline to build your barn will depend on the barn type and the company you hire. A pole barn may take six weeks or so, while a traditionally framed or steel-framed barn can take four months or longer. Building a barndominium takes the longest because you are essentially building a new home. You can expect barndominiums to take six months or longer to build.

It’s much less expensive to build a house with wood. This is because wood is relatively inexpensive, strong enough to endure decades or even centuries of weathering and pressure, and is easier to replace if there are issues. The cost of stone houses are incredibly expensive, heavy, time-consuming to build, and difficult to repair. 

Barns and barndominiums are most commonly painted red, like barns depicted in movies and paintings. The practice of painting barns red dates back to America’s colonial days, when new farmers would borrow the European practice of mixing linseed oil with ferrous oxide to coat the barns in order to protect them from the elements, leaving the structures with a red color.

Whether pole barn posts should be set in concrete depends on the soil surrounding your home. If your soil is compact and digging conditions are agreeable, then setting pole barn posts in concrete is an ideal option.
