[AT] Building

[charlie hill]

Gerald,  A friend of mine bought one of them and hired his cousins two 
teenage sons to put it up.  I thought they would never get that thing put 
together.  The first thing they did was put the anchors bolts in the slab 
wrong.  They had to cut them off and then drill holes and put red-heads in 
as they went along with assembly of the building.
Considering that 2 kids, with some help from their dad, put it up I guess 
they did pretty well.   However, there are a lot of bolts and nuts in one of 
those things and the loops, while strong after being bolted in place,  are 
like snakes while you are trying to work with them.

Like you said, they are strong buildings after you get them up and I'm sure 
not trying to run anyones building down but for my money I'd go with the 
pole building.
