Subject: Re: Foltz or Morton


Northern did you really ask a local for footings 6' deep and they said "No, we wont do that". If thats the case I can see why you bought a Morton and why you like that building.
I will admit that Morton has a few nitch features such as the SS screws or nails, I forget what it is they call their paint, but it is supposed to be good. I guese I looked real hard and had to decide for my self if these are features that must be used in a premium buidling or are they branded products that are marketed in a way that makes it sound like you must purchase from X company if you want a premium building.
As far as lumber quality, snow load, steel thickness, paint quality,fasteners, pole or footing type these are easy features that any experienced building professional should be able to get, design, and build to.
So yes northern I do wonder how M sells so many buidlings, they dont sell many in my local area. I made the decision that if I was going to pay a premium price for a wood building that I would probably opt to go to a all steel structure for the same money. The primary advatage of the wood for me was cost savings.
Maybe this is a it works here but not there situation. Within 20 mins of my house I can go to 10 lumberyards and 3 preenginered building companys. I'm glad you are happy with your Morton, I am happy with my building. I am glad there is so much competition in this industry imagine what it would cost if there was only 1 company.
