Re: 60x100x18 - My dream coming true in the PNW.
What are the dimensions of your timbers "pole" that are concreted in?
The last 16' of building is a gravel carport of sorts; is that part-of or in-addition-to the 100' length?
You priced the shop both ways - Pole and Stick; do you have your cost comparison / sheets available, either publicly or privately?
Do you have any drawings or artists rendition of the final product?
I live in Knoxville, TN and just secured approved financing for a 12-acre parcel I have had my eye on for over 2 years. The land wasn't for sale and has a dilapidated 1100 sq ft house built in 1941 and I just knew it would never go up for sale. Wrong! It did! It went up for sale 3 weeks before Christmas and I didn't even know that until 2 weeks after. Well I scrambled and got a bid in on it but there was already an accepted offer the sellers were committed to. Well that deal fell through and I was #2 and I got it! Well now I am scrambling trying to figure out what the heck to do with regard to buildings; house, shop, garage - build now, sell current house now, etc! It's just happening way too fast and there is no time to think - just react and plan fast.
With the same size shop as yours, I could do the same as you and live in the shop while I build my house on the property.
There is no doubt I want/need a big shop and I think you have just provided me the template with what I am looking for. I like the size of your shop and all that you've describe so far - and I can mostly envision your building with the photos you have posted.
Again, anything and everything you can provide me I would greatly appreciate.
Thanks,

I priced the shop both ways, I did stick frame last time and I am building it larger and nicer this time for less money. I also will have it better insulated and better construction. The timbers are 8ft in the ground with 7 ft of concrete holding them.

They installed all the windows except the bathroom, that should be here today or tomorrow. Installed the metal flashing on the leading edge of the roof. Finsihed framing in the east wall where they were driving in and out of for setting trusses. Set all 4 man doors with handles and locks and finished the sheathing for the siding. A few pics:
