Since the site has been completed I have been considering moving both overhead doors to the south end and flipping the lean-to to the east the keep it out of the wind. If I have the two 12' X 14' doors on the same end does anyone have any advice on spacing our layout?

We finished up the pad last night. I didn't keep track of all the dirt we hauled but I believe it is north of 600 cubic yards. The nearly 50-year-old backhoe my Dad was operating did the job slowly but surely.
Any pictures of how you have the lift installed? I'm assuming it is perpendicular to your west wall with the windows? I'm thinking about offsetting my overhead door to do something similar.
We started prepping the site by pulling the old fence and posts that were around the garden.
We broke ground on 2-19-20 and started stripping the topsoil. The plan is to use fill from my property the get the barn pad on grade. I'll be renting a vibratory roller to compact the pad in lifts.
The lean-to will be a 3/12 pitch. I went 12' because anything wider would be too low from what I've seen. I will be parking a RV and a few tractors under the lean-to.
50' X 80' Pole Barn with 16' Lean-to
The time has come for me to get started on my dream shop. As the title states, it will be 50' X 80' with a 16' lean-to on one of the 80' walls. It will have two 12' X 14' insulated doors with openers centered on the gable ends. There will be four 2' X 3'...
Hey, 86 I've been lurking for over a year and haven't posted. I too have a few IDI Ford trucks. I'm interested in your fix for the plastic shower heads. I'll be watching for a picture of the finished product. I see where you are going with it.
