I appreciate the interest. I have built these type (pole method) and standard construction buildings before and don't have any things I would do differently. That being said, I am working on it with whatever free time I have. I also have to work around when I can get a helping hand so some things that I will be doing, if I had the time and extra help, I would do differently and in a different order. We will see when I get to those parts of the build which way it takes me. I will say that it pays to get the pad as level as possible before you start. Also, I feel it is worth the effort to notch your posts to accept the header. It creates a direct load through the posts into the ground. The truss and roof load ( we have a lot of snow here ), doesn't have to be supported by carriage bolts if you do it this way. I am working full time in NYC and trying to get to the property, which is 4hrs away whenever I can. So, no new pics yet. I have the trusses, rest of the framing lumber, metal roofing and board and batten siding being delivered on the 27th of this month. Next scheduled building push is the weekend of June 4th. I will have lots of pics then.
Great! Share them all. I'm always looking for ideas. So far., so good
