Hello everyone. I'm nearing the end of my pole building construction and thought I would post some "time-lapse" photos if you will of the building process, the photos were taken with my iPhone Panoramic photo feature, I tried to keep the resolution down to help the bandwidth.

The building is 36x60x16, 5inch slab w/ wire mesh, 2 10x10 insulated hi track doors and 1 12x14 insulate door, 2 walk through doors and a window. There will be 12-6 bulb T8 fluorescent light fixtures. Still figuring out insulation options currently.

Really like the way you document the pictures, I tried it on my build, but could not get the contractors to stop moving my tripod (if that is the way you doing it).

I have not said it on another build thread, but this applies to all the American builds, I am in love with the way you build, from the floor being connected to the foundation, the stud walls and drywall. It's all superb.

Nice! that's similar to the building that I had originally planned, but I had to go a little smaller and put my main entrance in the gable end after they completed excavation- It wouldn't fit otherwise!

I'll be watching to see what you do for insulation- I put in radient barrier/bubble for now, which works wonders, but plan to add more later.

Smart looking building. Please add more pics when you get the landscaping completed. I like the far end man door. Congratulations on a very nice project.

Thanks everyone, after spending the time and money so far it's nice to see other people appreciate the project, especially since my Fiance seems to care less :/

So the roof currently has just the R-7 2inch vapor barrier stuff on it. What i'd like to do is cut some slits in that insulation to allow it to breath and put some 4 inch fiberglass insulation on top of it.

As for the walls, I made a mistake and ordered the same stuff for the walls as the builder had used on the roof, more or less just 2inch R-7 vapor barrier. And of course it wasn't returnable because it was cut to fit. So that being said, i'm going to put the Dupont Tyvek house wrap on the inside of the walls attached to all the girts to help against sweating/condensation degrading the fiberglass insulation over time, then i'll put the 2inch R-7 stuff I have over top of that.

I don't have current plans for sheet rock or osb panels at the momment, I'm still up in the air about that. I figure i'll just use the 2inch stuff on the walls for now and see how cold I get during winter, lol. I do like the idea of using OSB and then putting gray plastic panels on top of it for looks and durability.

Garage doors will be installed shortly and I'll update the thread with further pictures along the way.

Thanks for the input everyone.
