Sorry guys. Only computer i have is my phone. When i go to "Manage Attachments" it gives me"Upload Error". I have pics to post!

Pictures or it did'nt happen. Just kidding. It takes a bit to get pictures loaded. Do you have photobucket account? It is easier to load with that. In the questions section below there are some helpful hints.

The driveway is getting compromised a small bit. I couldv've went smaller on the building who wants to do that?!

First truss set!

Looks good. But unless there are permit issues or funding problems, never ever ever ever go smaller. You'll just end up putting up a second barn later on.

I see one of the guys is wearing fall protection. I think he'll be on the ground before it helps.

You plan on finishing the inside during the winter ?

Yes I plan on steel inside and insulating this winter. Concrete won't be in the budget until next year. Also I had a 24" di. cedar tree i had to cut down that was right in the middle of the pad. I want to see if any settling takes place before i pour it.

As for the fall protection, the lead builder said if osha shows up and any of his guys isn't strapped up, they're fired.

Well, its green! Still tossing around which doors to go with. One is a 16x9. Other is a 10x9.
I have a couple loads of rock yet to put down but getting closer!

 

[nomuffintop]

Finally got doors on! Just finished installing temporary lights and a few outlets today and thought i would post a few pics.

if you are going to have anything like a workbench or large tool that will be away from the wall you may want to think about funning some conduit under the floor like we did in ours, we have dirt floors but dug a trench for conduit then filled with concrete.

 

[nomuffintop]

That's a great idea! Thanks Rkevins !

 

[nomuffintop]

Im seriously considering a closed cell spray foam application on the entire inside. Is there any men out there that have some experience with this? Pros...Cons...? Thanks for any input!

Taking longer than expected but we have outdoor lights. Went with RAB LED wall packs. Very pleased with product.
