[Farmall] Only Slightly off topic: Shop and Storage building for Farmall Tractors

[Terry Welch]

The company's name is Varco Pruden or around here VP. Here is their web site. http://www.vp.com/  They have a plant in Evansville WI. Just down the road a piece from Mike's place. They are a steel building company, not a pole barn company so I am sure they are a bit higher priced than a pole barn would be. My son works there in the design office. 
  I agree with Mike on the floor heat. It is a much evener heat. A body shop I ran in Northern ILL had the heat in the floor. The only draw back was we had to have antifreeze in case the power went put in cold weather. Freezing water can do nasty things to concrete. 
  If I had my way I would have a sliding door on one end a Wilson Door on the other end. Wilson is a local company that makes hanger doors.

    Terry, I don't recognize that company. Where do they do business? I 
have looked at some steel buildings. Kind of a trade off. Seems initial 
price is higher but maybe with insurance, etc. might be cheaper in the 
long run. For some the steel is heavier gauge. Local builders here are 
Big Chief and Butler....then there are the ones quite willing to ship from 
several states away. They may well be fine, but I prefer to work with 
folks face to face and see buildings they have done and talk with the 
owners of those buildings.

Thanks

Larry
