Well the overhead door has been installed so the rest is up to me. First up, digging the ditch for the electrical. Included a shot of my rain gauge after this weeks storm, just over 3-1/4". It has been a very wet spring around here, over 6" in April and over 4" in June so far. Actually all the rain has been helping settle all the dirt that was moved for the barn site.

I was wondering if you help me out? Do you know the length of you machine with the backhoe and FEL installed (BH92) and the height when backhoe hoe is stowed . I'm trying to fit this in a garage with a 18.5 -19 ft depth. The door height is about 7.5 ft but the ceiling in garage goes up to 12 ft. I don't know if I can extend the hoe to get in the garage. If you could give me any dimensions it would be much appreciated.

In looking at your completed photos, I can tell you ALL of the roof truss bracing has been left out of the building. At a very minimum, there should be 2x4 lateral bracing every 10 feet across the truss bottom chords. If you want to Email me a copy of the engineer sealed truss drawings, I would be happy to review them for free and advise as to what the requirements are. This is a serious situation and could result in a failure under wind or snow loads.

That's a good point. I don't have scissor trusses but they did put in 2x4 bracing in numerous directions on my trusses.

I don't think the scissor truss needs the amount of bracing you're suggesting. Even still, when looking at the picture, I can spot the 2x4 lateral ties that connect the truss' together. (marked in red):
