Friday, September 25, 2009 As we all know, with post frame construction, the void space between the supporting posts is not load bearing and can be just about any material can be used between these supports. This enterprising builder apparently had an abundance of let over metal entry doors and used them to build the walls for this 80 by 190 foot building. Not a single door visible in any of the attached pictures actually opens! All are welded together to form a series of solid walls with no windows. The unusual construction is reason enough to adopt a 'defensive only' posture, but the current occupant repairs furniture and makes counter tops. The fire load includes large quantities of flammable / combustible materials and adhesives, so any fire here will be intense and spread quickly. This building should serve as a reminder that it is vital for fire fighters to know the buildings in their response area as well as the businesses that occupy them.
