Congrats, looks great. And it's RED, that's a plus, unless you like Deere John's.
So, what's the inside going to have for creature comfort? Lift, drain, office for big screen TV? Loft for storage... What are you going to heat it with? Come on man, gotsta have the details...

Agreed, Morton does. But this one was built by a local guy who's been doing it for 30+ years. Wasn't the least expensive, but probably not the most. Had several barns in the area to reference before hiring him. Did a good job.

Just started electrical. Nothing too big planned. No drain. No office. No big screen TV--although I kidded my wife about it. Loft may come later if storage is an issue. Will just house my mechanical tools for tractor restoration and parking tractors inside. Not planning on heat at this point. Taking it slow...

By the way, how many of you sealed your new concrete floor?

I built a new 30x30 shop in 1998.... we laid really thick black plastic sheeting down before the slab was poured and I asked the concrete finishers for a really slick finish.. the guy stayed all day with a power float working it.

I never sealed it but I don't have any moisture problems and oil wipes right up off the floor and it sweeps real easy because it's got such a nice finish... so I never saw the need for paint or sealer.

That's pretty much what I had done with my shops floor. The thing is smooth as glass. BUT they sprayed something on it with just a hand pump sprayer, that repels water, kinda like RainX for windshields.
The water just "bubbles" up. Drys up super fast after using a squeegee.

Seal and cure concrete sealants are helpful as they hold moisture in the concrete thus slowing the cure rate. Slower cure = stronger concrete that's less likely to crack. Should be applied as soon as possible, like as soon as you can walk on it. Also helpful to keep dusting down, such as when you have an attached garage and you want to minimize the amount of dust tracked into the house. I always seal all of my concrete work.

By the way, nice barn! Pole type construction?, floating slab?..

Yes, floating slab and pole barn construction. 2x6 wall girts, 6x6 posts, 2x4 roof girts on edge. Pretty solid. Very pleased.

Good deal!

One of the things I really like about pole construction is the minimal site disruption. Do the local codes make you put the posts on footings?

That's great, even less site disruption. Less excavation + less formwork = lower cost. Plus, a very rugged structure. Very nice!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
