overmanbuildingssupply.com sells building & house kits out of Arkansas. These are stud frame buildings(no pole barns) that are 95% precut , studs,trusses,tin, trim etc. 8, 10 &12’ heights. Their prices are very competitive. They will only ship 5 or 6 hours from Pocahontas Ar. I bought a 36x24 with a 10” lean to. Excellent company to deal with. BTW this is a NONPAID recommendation ------------- If you always do, what you always did, You'll always get, what you always got |

Way back when you could order a full house delivered from SEARS - a mail order house shipped by rail to your local siding . Advances now to ship by truck of panelized houses (factory assembled) set in place by truck mounted crane at homesite . The place I have now came in this way (WICK Building Systems out of WI) in 1970. ------------- Life lesson: If you’re being chased by a lion, you’re on a horse, to the left of you is a giraffe and on the right is a unicorn, what do you do?

I assembled Wausau Homes for a while. They were a competitor of Wick Homes. Dave

Dave } Back when I built the two companies were similar but WICK was a little more finished and higher value with sheetrock where WASAU used paneling Later quality of WASAU went up and they offered 2 story units also Unsure if either is still in business now . When I was driving I use to deliver asphalt to plant by WASAU home building site , covered a large area ------------- Life lesson: If you’re being chased by a lion, you’re on a horse, to the left of you is a giraffe and on the right is a unicorn, what do you do?

I drive past Wausau Homes every day, they are still there. I am putting up a house that Cleary Post frame is doing. A large garage attached to the house. Cleary is doing the exterior as a pole barn and I will finish the interior. ------------- http://lonsallischalmers.com |
