Nice build! What's a S4S and a "bullnose"?
s4s = surfaced on 4 sides
Bullnose + The rounded corner on finished lumber. It keeps splintering at the corners to a minimum.
My first fifteen years of working were in a crossarm mill and those term were common. Before you ask, crossarms are the predrilled and treated wood cross members on utility poles.

I can't express how happy I am to get this barn done/usable. Yes, my wife is a super hero and always willing to help.

And we are happy for you Lynn!!!

At this point all the wood is on and ready for metal. I had a little hay to cut so I took a picture from the field.

Time for metal. A buddy and I got all the roof done in 2 days. I did have to go back and put all the screws in, we just put enough to hold the metal so we could get it all up while my buddy was helping. I haven't done it before but I added a steel brace to all 4 outside truss posts. We do get some high winds when a storm is coming and I didn't want to see the whole building come down dominos style.

Thanks Richard. I really wanted to hire someone to build it and just sit back and watch it go up. The cost was huge and I couldn't see paying someone for something I knew I could do just as well. (maybe better)
I have had a few people stop and ask if I was interested in building a barn for them. I am definitely not interested in that.
