When it Comes to Building a SteelMaster, There’s No Place Like Home

Smack dab in the middle of the United States is Kansas, which is often called the Heart of America. When many Americans think of Kansas, most likely two things come to mind: the movie “The Wizard of Oz” and tornadoes. But for Robert Williams and his wife who currently live in Olathe, KS, this Midwestern state is their home, so much so that they purchased a 10 acre plot of farm land in Pamona, KS (about 45 miles from Olathe) on which they intend to live out their retirement years.

After the Williams family bought their acreage in Pamona, they decided to build a shop on the property for equipment storage. “Before we bought our storage building, we kept our tractor and other equipment outside in the weather,” says Robert.

Kansas is situated in what many consider to be “Tornado Alley”—an area where 90 percent of tornadoes spring to life because it is where cold, dry air from Canada and the Rocky Mountains meets warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and hot, dry air from the Sonoran Desert. The combination of these conditions along with atomospheric instability produces intense thunderstorms which can lead to tornadoes. Ninety-four tornadoes were reported in Kansas during 2010, and the record year for tornadoes in the state was in 2008 with 187 tornadoes confirmed.

With this information in mind, the Williams had to make sure that the storage building they bought could withstand winds reaching at least 206 miles per hour, which carries enough strength to tear the roof and walls off of well-constructed homes, overturn trains, and uproot most trees in a forest.

“I saw a [SteelMaster building] and liked what I saw, so that is what we purchased to use as our farm storage building,” says Robert. For more than 28 years, SteelMaster Buildings, which is located in Virginia Beach, VA, has manufactured, designed, and supplied pre-fabricated arched steel structures to 40,000 customers located in every state of the United States, in 40 countries, and on seven continents around the world.

“SteelMaster buildings are engineered for life,” says Michelle Wickum, the company’s director of marketing. “Our steel buildings are also built to meet the wind loads of their destination whether that’s in Kansas or on the coast of Florida. They remain maintenance free for a lifetime thanks to the company’s use of Galvalume Plus Coating which offers strength, superior corrosion resistance, and an attractive bright appearance that provides excellent heat reflectivity.” Each SteelMaster building also comes with a 30-year mill-backed warranty by ArcelorMittal (NYSE MT).

Along with the help of his wife and two friends, Robert erected the building in November 2009 and finished by building the end walls in June of 2010. “I built the end walls using 2×6 lumber and red metal siding,” says Robert. “The floor was poured as a monolithic 6″ slab with thickened sides that sit on piers that are 12″ diameter and 5 foot deep.  The piers are placed every 6 foot around the perimeter of the building.  I am pleased that all the material supplied with the building fit as designed, and I’m pretty sure it will stand up to most of the weather Kansas can throw at it.”

Robert has this to say to others who are about to begin construction of their own SteelMaster building. “Read the construction manual, and then call the technical department at SteelMaster and tell them the size of your building and question them about the best method of putting the arches together.  Also ask them to explain why it is so important to put the small angles on the curved sections to keep the curved sections from growing as you erect it.”

In addition to storage buildings, SteelMaster’s steel and metal pre-engineered buildings are designed for a broad range of residential and commercial applications including garages, workshops, carports, metal barns, Quonsets, airplane hangars, RV storage, roofing systems, military buildings, commercial warehousing, and industrial storage as well as a wide variety of custom building applications including athletic facilities, retail stores, churches, bus stops, smoke shacks, doggie dorms, and correctional facilities.

He gets her a job singing at the nightclub where his only friend, Boris Morosov (Louis Calhern), is the doorman. Joan falls in love with Ravic, but he is deported and she finds herself the mistress of wealthy Alex (Stephan Bekassy). Meanwhile, Ravic seeks revenge against a Nazi officer (Charles Laughton) and war is declared between France and Germany. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

Arch Duo $12.78 So named for the famed Berkeley recording studio where this session took place, Arch Duo finds longtime cohorts Derek Bailey and Evan Parker engaging in a 70-minute conversation. In the next few years, the relationship between the two would mysteriously erode to the point where they became entirely estranged, making this event all the more singular. Much of this disc is what fans of the two musicians would likely expect: strong though non-pyrotechnic improvising created through fine listening on the part of each. The third track (though a continuous performance, track divisions are provided) features some especially intense work, Bailey rubbing his strings furiously while Parker’s soprano goes skirling to extreme heights. The following sections begin with some sardonic vocal commentary from Bailey before moving into some of the most abstract but rewarding portions of the set. Less lyrically than the first half, Bailey and Parker get more into the so-called “insect improv” aesthetic of their early days together, generating fascinating, bubbling hives of activity that sound at once alien and everyday, though the part of the everyday that normally operates below one’s perception. Within the respective lengthy and hugely productive careers of these two figures, it would be tough to single Arch Duo out as especially crucial; each has produced more major statements in other contexts. But it’s a solid, tough, creative document that fans of either or both will certainly want to hear. ~ Brian Olewnick, Rovi Performers: Derek Bailey – Guitar (Electric), Guitar (Acoustic); Evan Parker – Sax (Tenor), Sax (Soprano)

The Gateway Arch: A Reflection of America $21.22 When its construction launched in 1963, St. Louis’s famed Gateway Arch had already spent decades in the rudimentary conception and discussion phases. A definitive symbol not simply of Americana, but of American westward expansion and Manifest Destiny, the arch embodies a gateway to the west – standing, as it does, at the very head of the Lewis & Clark trail – and thus, when it finally came to be, represented a culmination of almost 200 years of American history. As narrated by Academy Award-winning thespian Kevin Kline, the hour-long documentary The Gateway Arch: A Reflection of America tells the full story of the arch’s initiation as a project, its development by Finnish architect Eero Saarinen, and the events that led up to its completion and designation as a national historic landmark in 1965. The program draws from exhaustive research to incorporate long-obscure construction footage from the early ’60s, dozens of interviews, archival illustrations and blueprints, and much, much more. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
