It will have batton strips over all the seams once its done. The boards are 1x8" and the battons are 1/2"x2". It is sealed at the bottom, there is a 2x6 between the siding and the concrete.

Re: my new shop
you are right, there is a flat plate welded inside the box tubing that the bottom of the 6x6 sits on, thus transfering the load to the outer edge of the steel socket.

Re: Pole Barn framing question
Id say Im at roughly $5-6K, but that includes the $2k for the slab. The roofing was just over $1000. Rough cut lumber is fairly cheap (at least around here) compared to regular KD framing lumber.

Re: Looking to build. is this a good deal?
No idea on if its a good deal, but I can assure you that "deal, good for today only" is just another sales pitch. call back next week and you will get the same price, or maybe even a better one.
