Thanks, that is exactly what I want to do, loft and all. Though I am looking for something with a bit bigger living space.
How did you seal your stick built ends to the steal? Spray insulation only?
How is the insulation holding up? Any problems with it seporating from the steel?
I did 6" walls inside and out of the LQ, they are bolted to the slab & strapped to the quonset. I sealed any gaps with the canned foam.
The installer had a little trouble getting the foam to stick because the quonsets have a ight coating of oil on them when shipped to prevent rust. So I would suggest a quick pressure wash before foam. The insulation is perfect. It was seafoam green, so I sprayed white latex on it.
For a better loft, I would go another foot or two higher....I'm 6'4 and can't stand "upstairs" unless I am in the center. Or, put the building on a knee wall.
30x50....$15,000??? NO WAY!.
I paid $7,900 thru US Building. Stick to your guns and tell them how much you will pay.....they have a lot of room to move on these. Their(all of the quonset mfg's) sales tactics are right out of the "Looser used car salesman in a plaid suit" book. They play games like a bunch of morons. Consider a much larger one and splitting it with someone else....like a 50x100. Ebay actually has really good prices.
