Beautiful OBS! Only comment I can make on the garage - go wider, if you can.

How are the walls holding? nothing but horror stories with them in my area.

Just a word of thanks.... the circular saw trick works phenomenally well!

excellent! Thanks!

QQ - what are y'all using to cut the 4" foam? I'm tempted to "borrow" the electric bread cutter from the kitchen... :D

That looks nice... I tried using construction adhesive on a couple panels last weekend - because I had it laying around - but it's not a good solution. Off to look for washers!

Ed - where did you get the washers? I'm having a hard time finding them locally. thx!

also interested in the vapor barrier question

Any worry about condensation between the foam board and the wall? I'm trying to figure out if a vapor barrier is needed... Like the OP, my intent is to place up against the purlins... and then cover with oak. Not sure if this is exactly what @peetroe had in mind, but quick pic of my little...

perhaps an overly simplistic question... Can you adjust the shed?

Was just about to post the same question.

no sir. Just a 30x50 standard pole building with barn door at the gable end. It's fine, but it's definitely not what I would have done had finances not been a challenge at the time.

This is very similar to what I wanted to do... just couldn't make the math work at the time and went pole-barn instead... but i tend to regret that now. Nice work.

I suspect we'll make the gate ourselves... I think the action is going to be the most expensive portion - seem openers as much as $3-4K. WAY more than we want to spend. :D I have a lot of research to do!

Great points. There is the potential for 10 houses to be behind this gate. Could be as simple as 1 code per house, or as complex as 1 code per person... And then 1 code for UPS, FedEx, Garbage, etc.. very easy to make this more complex than it needs to be. I think the only way to prevent...
