I want one.
A concrete one, I know a steel worker who will help me erect it. I am wanting to use a tilt up design, generally used for commercial buildings. The benefit of a tilt up is you pour the concrete on the site then with the help of a crane you tilt it up into position. First you make your cement floor then use it to pour your walls on.
A tip is to not make the tilt ups too heavy for the available crane.
I am finishing some reno's on my house, then I'm selling it and moving. Off the grid, maybe a clear cut..
