    Between 705 & 1200 SQ/FT A trip back from the edge.

    if you had a rental excavator, the best way to remove stumps is to leave the the rest of tree attached. Dig around stump with mini-ex and push it over. I have take 50+ trees that way on my land.

    40x60x16 pole barn

    Interesting that you set the rafters before the wall girts, but I see why you did so. Any issues with that method? Also your grade board is on the outside of the poles, did you move the wall girts out 1.5"? Or you gonna add more wood. Hard to tell from the pics

    I have a 28 x 40 with two doors on the 40ft side. It was on the property when I bought it, but after using it, I wish it had one 12 or 15ft wide door on the gable and one 8ft on the opposite end but on the 40ft side.

    Considering spray foam insulation in attick

    I spayed the back side of my OSB. It works well, and haven't had any issues in 3 years of winters here in WI but that is pretty short period of time in retrospect. ' I would think one could lay in thin rigid foam between the trusses if you were concerned of needing to remove roof sheathing...

    Square tube vs I beam for trailer floor

    Besides the galvanizing, I would go with the I Beam. I Beam and Channel is the only way to build trailers. Tubes trap moisture and they rust as you have found out.
