Day 4 We saw the roof complete and the soffits boxed in.

they dropped them in the holes like pucks, levelled the post on it, then put in three bags of concrete. the holes had a foot of water in them even after pumping out. made real mess dropping them in.

Day 3, Friday, all the trusses were up and the siding and roofing delivered.

No real complaints so far. It's coming together.

End of Day 2 and shot of a cool boomcat.

Gas is easy. call a plumber, it lays in a trench with the electric separated by some sand. 2-maybe 3' deep. water has to be in its own trench some distance from that and 4' deep. then we need an underground hydrant because of the slab on grade. Just got too far out there price and complexity...

The posts were up on day two. Day three (Friday) they got the roof trusses all in. Today, day four, they got all the grits and purlins in. The trusses are reinforced, they cut the soffit vinyl. Running changes: 1. Got the final prices for the heated floor on Friday. $17k for all the plumbing...

If you have a ridge vent, you need the right square footage of soffit vent to allow air in to **** the moisture out the ridge vent when the sun shines. Make sure you have soffit vents and they are not plugged. Not sure you need or want a vapor barrier in the ceiling. That will only trap...

That is what I am getting. They call it liner steel.

What a difference a day makes They started today. Three and a half weeks late, but here. They got here about 10. Stayed till about 5 with a break for lunch. Started here: Got here by noon. The Stone Slinger was pretty cool. Must break down a lot. They got a layer of stone down and laid...

Didn't realize I didn't put in a location. In a word, why don't people? Security. But that's another thread. I just put in the region, but when you are trying to be 'honest' and talk about prices and contents etc... You don't want people being able to find you. Now, on the foam, in my reading...

2" of rigid foam.

We got it laid out on the 23rd. Driveway contractor came on the 29th while I was out and plopped in a lane way. Close. Nothing we can't fix later... Builder says he is coming tomorrow to take off the topsoil and start dropping off materials. Below is a shot of the layout with the road in and...

So the driveway contractor comes today to put in the lane to the new barn. Problem is, the barn contractor never showed Monday to put in the elevation like he was supposed to. Never showed Tuesday. Wasn't here today. Never called. So I called him and put him on the spot. Said he will be here by...

All right, so it didn't start today. On Friday, the bossman said they were coming Monday to lay it out. Nobody showed up. Nobody called. Who knows, maybe they will be here tomorrow. I'd get upset, but this is Western New York, generally speaking, if anyone shows up here it is pretty amazing...

Don't rule out height. 3 becomes 6 at 12' ceiling height.

I've been picking up good advice here. I especially liked when people put up build threads with pics. I feel like I should do that to pay back. It's a 40x72x12 pole barn. It will be a 28x40 auto shop and 44x40 auto storage. 12 high is so I can put in lifts and stack cars. Still waiting on...

He won't have that job forever. How long will you have your house? I'm just not telling anybody about mine. I got a permit for a pole barn. How I heat my building is up to me!

Buffalo NY No basement in the barn, house yes. Shop about 450' from the house. Heated floor. Kept about 45-50 degrees in winter. The trench is going to be a hassle. Need one for electric and gas and one for water. Figure if I have to dig one, might as well dig two.
