    Question about Pole Barn Shop roof - osb on top of 2x6 purlins

For me, as a self builder the cost is minimal and I hate roofs so its nice to have a walkable surface already down...

    concrete question pouring an overlay patio over an existing patio.

    Water heater type for new house 1800 sq ft , 2 people,

    I think that if a simple commodity electric hot water heater is working for you now then I see no reason why the same thing wont work in a house with 170 more sq ft. There's bigger problems to worry about.

    Another 2 post lift concrete floor prep question.

    I have about 8" of depth and I keyed it in like your original drawing. If I recall correctly I didn't need to connect the squares and they needed to be 5'x5' for my baseplate lift. my slab was pretty rough so I just made the call to go bigger since it was such a marginal increase in cost.

    2post lift concrete

    You really need to pick your lift first and then they have the slab requirements in the manual. I'm pretty sure your intended slab size and thickness will work for 99% of all lifts but you really need to check with the lift MFG.

    Building a pole barn/storage shed foundation on the cheap

    I know you're trying to save as much money as possible but consider outsourcing the hole drilling to a pole barn company. If you have it all laid out and they're just swinging by after another job to punch in the holes it might not be that expensive.
