One other thing Artie. not sure if you are doing insulation or not but the double bubble insulation had a defect when me and dad built...he used a different buiders...and the ultraviolet light deteriorates the coating on it so it starts falling of...little white peaces everywhere :mad: when the wind blows in. like dandruff. check to make sure they have solved that issue or go with something else.

P.S. figure 30-35% compaction on dirt...and i personally would use fill sand ( 10-15% compaction) as the base but but that cost more.

Thank You. You can never know enough. That insulatin would realy hurt. I can only do the top an 8' do to water. Artie

I can post a couple pics of dads and mine so you can see what a difference the slope makes in appearance and room inside if you want. Next time I'm up in the great north (centerville MS :cartman::lolhit:) i"ll take a few of his.
don't know about you but I need a visual on things like this, have a hard time seeing it in my head even tho I know and understand the "lingo" i still am way better off seeing it.:crazy: LOL
Just let me know.
