The problem I see with that statement is that a pole building put up in 1978 may already be nearing the end of its useful life. The neighbors Morton building that he built in the 80's moves up and down every year when the frost goes in and out. And not always evenly either.

I know that the quonset my grandpa built in 1956 is going to outlast the pole shed he built in 1970 by many years. And it has kept the equipment drier all those years too.

Just my opinion!
He was basing that off the cost factor of the cement foundation and todays equipment being bigger and no longer fitting as well along the sides. I can't remember the brand of his quonset, but the company is no longer in business and he could no longer get replacement doors when a wind storm blew them off....A quonset is definitely better than nothing!!!!
