Hey Drive, The paperclip thing didn't work for me, but I just copied the URL of the attachment, clicked the photo icon (insert image) and input that URL. Oddly, when I tried to do it as insert picture from "insert link" (globe), that didn't work right :-P Yes, the builders seemed happy and...

Quick idea of the layout....btw this is 1 dually crewcab and 3 SUVs....so in reality i'll usually have a touch more space between vehicles :)

So just an FYI, tons of pictures coming soon. Pole barn is installed, passed all of the inspections so far, concrete is almost done (~4500 sq ft between barn and driveway). I used the same company for the install, who did a great job. I bought the material from DIYpolebarns, they did a great...

Here is a terrible painting of my thoughts for how to do a wrap/siding/insulation etc. Oh yeah, the double/single bubble stuff.....its R value is pretty low, but its pretty cheap, I am using it to help with thermal bridging and any R value helps quite a bit...obviously more would be better but I...

I am doing double bubble for exterior walls, single bubble beneath roof (later i'll blow in insulation), then I want to find a way to wrap the trusses to act as an eave block for insulation and then tape between my 4' OC trusses between the bottom of the eave block to the exterior of the double...

Hey Drive, All permits are approved now, electrical is staying where it is and I am having the same company that installed my last barn, install this one. Of course the whole thing is going to cost much more than I want, but I am also trying to get it done by the end of the year so i can move...

Hey looks, it has only taken 2 months to make some progress! So permits were filed and everything was good, and then I was told I couldn't put the driveway where I want, as a matter of fact due to rule changes there is only one place I can put a driveway....so now my barn has a driveway that'll...

Barn layout....the middle one is my old barn...which I can do here if I am willing to invest in a driveway that will allow me to easily pull in (since the long part of the barn would be parallel to the main road) I cannot think of a way to have an efficient layout aside from the middle, less...

Bib, I do not understand it myself. I get that it might have been easier but they had to assume homes would be built beside a lake at some point. I have considered a lawyer/attorney but as I understand it, there is a chance they might have a prescribed easement.....which as I am learning...

Here is an OK picture of it placed near the house, the red line (in the overhead picture on the right) is the utility line and how much it would run over the barn. Based on some measurements I couldn't do a normal 30x48x12 with 4:12 pitch, b/c it'd be 2 feet too tall and closer the power lines...

Also for clarity on these gigantic images, the placement furthest away from the home, I could probably build now. There is the question they (DTE) hasn't answered on if there 10' ROW is just at the pole, on the over head lines also and if so from the centerline or widest point. If the latter...

Drive, Thanks for the feedback, actually I was just trying to use PB and it is so monetized by ads and everything that I just gave up.....I uploaded to FB, copied the link addy and then pasted it in....although it looks like I probably should have resized first....... :)

Here are a few pictures, so are just quick paint pics to get a rough idea, others a time consuming attempt to get a good topography and effective survey (orthographic with corner markers) map of my property....it works, it just took a while.
