Looks nice.  God job.  On our slab rack I hung some yellow safety chain from the frame to keep the slabs from accidentally falling out and conking a customer or me on the head.  Much like the chain that holds welding cylinders in a welding cart.  The chain has some slack so the slabs can easily pulled out a little to see them, but it keeps them from falling out.

That's a nice looking whack of lumber well displayed. I like it.

Joey, where did you get those pipes bolted to the wood to hold your slabs? I was thinking about building something like that but I like your deal better than what I was thinking about.

Looks great.  Better get the credit card machine warmed up for your customers.

You poor Northern Dudes have all kinds of things weighing down on you.  Like glaciers.  Hard to imagine how y'all can stay sane  :)

(Note to self: Some of y'all aren't...).

Snow load or no snow load, that is one fine slab display.

What are those big wide slabs on the left side of the rack?  They look as wide as a door.

I understand how mobile homes can fly away in a storm.  Now I am understanding how your outbuildings get airborne.

If you don't mind answering, what did the final cost work out to per SQF for such a nice roomy building ?

Joey Grimes

Not including any of my labor about  10 dollars per sf
