    Battery powered lawn mower

    We have a Dewalt 20V and it has worked good for the last 3 years. Fits good with my other Dewalt 20V tools but if you don't use Dewalt then other brands are probably just as good for a small yard like you have.

    Door size

    I agree with Bert. 12' wide door is lots especially given the fact you are going to have 2 doors. If you were only going to have one door it might be better to have a wider door to maneuver things to get closer to the outside walls but you will be fine with 2 - 12' doors.

    Commercial doors the size you are looking for normally have "helper springs" on the end of the track that compress when the door is fully open and help it close with no issues. You will be fine.

    Another help me heat my pole barn thread...

    If you have a ridge vent and cupola I assume you would also have soffit vents. If this is the case the building was probably built to have a ceiling with insulation above with proper attic ventilation. In order to insulate as you are considering, you would also have to block all the soffit...

    Sub Electric meter q?

    Cobbler, You may want to look into the requirements for sub-metering as set out by the Ontario Energy Board. I have been out of the business for a number of years now but the OEB used to have certain requirements for sub-metering and billing. Just an FYI
