That is looking sharp! I like the steel wainscoting inside. I was just looking at the Atlas lifts online, what do you think of it?

Thank you guys. I think the left bay is going to be the "work" area. I did some research on lifts and am leaning towards a 9000lb Atlas 2 post.

Looks good. I see you have one of those "supervisor" chairs in front too! ;) I would be grateful if you could post some close ups of the upper doors.

I am going to try and talk with the Power Co. and electrician this week and will let you know.

I will have 12' floor to ceiling, not sure how much height is needed for a lift. I would love to have one, just can't justify the $$$$ in my head!

Thank you sir. I like it too! :beer:

I am not convinced that I would need that much juice, but I don't want to be shorting myself by going with just a 200amp service. I got the number of a local electrician near the property and will give him a call.

Barn is done! will be calling for final inspection tomorrow morning.

A bit of a long over due update. When I spoke with the planner almost a year ago he said it would be no problem to run this line back to the home site before the house was started as I am paying total cost up front and there is no 100' allowance (that was granted to existing house many years...

Ok, so I have tried several times to upload some pictures over the last few months of my progress without success, just says upload failed. So I have inserted a link to my flickr page that has the overview picture. If you then go to my photostream you will be able to see more of the progress...

Sorry it has been awhile. I have made a bit of progress on the barn/shop. All the Perma-Columns have been set, girts on, second floor framed, and a third of the trusses set. All this in six days of framing plus two for hole auguring and concrete footers. Here is a couple links to time...

More penetration would definitely improve the outcome for all involved. Don't forget to make sure that you have a nice tight fit, don't want to much slop!

Bummer about the leach field. I am starting a barn Thursday in an area of our property that could not possibly have anything underground, yet I still wonder. Good luck and look forward to seeing your progress.

Spent some time grading seven loads of gravel. Supposed to get three more by end of day Tuesday. Those will be enough to touch up edges and bring left side up to grade. Thursday I will be drilling 24" holes and Friday pouring concrete footers, pending hole inspection. :thumbup:

John, no electric this year. One of the reasons why we are doing this now is because the power company won't energize a meter without something to hook it up to. So, thus the barn. Then next year we will bring primary back 325' to a transformer then secondary 130' to barn with 320amp service...
