A question for you carpenters..

Im not a framer/builder, but I know there are some here...

My shop was a pole barn that we poured concrete floor in after it was up, using bottom bandboard as a form. Now that my shop is gone, including the poles, all that is left is the concrete slab.

Looking down the road when I rebuild, since I have no actual footers, can I stickbuild and put walls right on edge of slab? Or is slab going to move, sink, settle, ect.....

I dont see any good way to pull broken posts out, to put new ones in and rebuild as a pole barn...origional posts were concreted in..

Am I over thinking this? I know u would never build a house on top of a slab without footers...would u?

Thanx in advance:)
