It’s 1” foil backed insulation of the ceiling and walls. They set the grade and have vapor barrier down for the concrete pour tomorrow!

Concrete arrived at 6am… looks like we will beat the storms tomorrow. I’ll have more photos up later!

Dang! Awesome build. Full agree that a 24x24 isn't going to support all the activities you mentioned - but I also want to note that a "40x56x12" pole barn is not "small" by any means (per your thread title). haha.

Wait, what are all those big barns that share a driveway lane over from your new build site? Not available for your use?

True, and I will admit that now that the walls are up, it seems much more spacious than the pad we had excavated. The Graber crew has been great to work with on the site, and they instill confidence in me. Sometimes communication with the office is lacking, but this crew has been very attentive.
