Odd, to me anyway, that they did the slab after finishing the framing, sheet metal, & roof. I would've done the slab after the poles and before the ridge & rafters..

That's the way they build pole barn structures here and it always confused me too. I don't know the reason but I'm guessing that there is one. Maybe some pole barn guru can come in and enlighten us.

They are going to have to replace some of the siding some of the roofing (It leaks like a stuck pig) and all the metal under the awning.
This was first to be started in July 17 and now it is Nov and it is still weeks from being done. The vice president is coming over tomorrow and he is going to get an ear full
did QSI do the actual building or did a contractor build a QSI pole barn? my guess is the roof leak is where the porch roof meets? or did screws not get screwed down properly? whats up with the metal under the awning? and the siding and roofing?
sure hope it all gets straightened out.
AND the crew cleans up that 'crete slop on the siding- not acceptable to me.

The main reason I can see it is that rain/inclement weather becomes less of a bother...The basement slab at a local pre-engineered home was placed after the house was in place, and concrete was chuted in thru the 16" x 32" hopper windows...

I think I made an error if I said something about the post. I think I was talking about how the metal around the post was not done properly.

Yep it is the pole barn way of putting up the structure and filling everything around the poles.
The company exec came out this morning and has a new crew fixing everything and hope it is done today but for the new concrete that was done improperly.

My wife was just now told they are not going to do the blown in fiberglass insulation in the ceilings now and will take the price off of what we owe.
This company will never cease to amaze me on how bad their work and work ethic is.

Arlin, if you go to Home Depot and buy a minimum number of bats of insulation they should rent you the machine to blow it in for free. At least that is the way it was last time I did it. I would imaging you would fall in that window for the free rental with a roughly 1000 sf area. Then it is just a matter of having someone feed the insulation into the machine and another person stand on a ladder and direct the hose. A case of beer and a few friends should make short work of it and you can spend the money you saved on something else for the shop. One thing I found out in the military was there are few things that you cant get done with a few buddies and a case of beer

Well they said they are done and it is perfect. We shall see anyway.
We priced the R19 and I was going to do it a little at a time but my wife called a guy who would do the whole thing and only $100 more then the cost of the R19, so maybe we will ask him to blow in the insulation to.
