How do you like my fancy door knob? /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Here is the North side. All done except for one piece at the end and the bottoms. That should be much easier and I'll be able to do it by myself.

What is left to cover of the North side.

Re: Jim\'s Pole Barn Project - hopefully

From this post you can tell how much fill I have to do at the front of the building. The back is only about an inch or so off the ground. By the time I remove the top soil I'll probably be filling about 18" in the front. I felt it was better to come up then go down because of water. I was really afraid that if I didn't come up that I could have water problems. So it'll end up costing to have fill brought, but probably cheaper (and less headache /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif) in the long front. But the door sure is funny looking out there in mid-air. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

OK, the nice weather this weekend really helped. I was finally able to finish framing the tractor door and all of the OSB except above the tractor door. Oh, BTW I decided to go with an 8' tractor door. Should elminate any ROPS problems. This is what it looked like around 3:15 yesterday.

Here is a shot of the back also around 3:15 or so. I took these pictures in case I forgot later or if it started to rain.

Here is the North side, around the same time as the others.

Here is the front. We put the OSB up in smaller pieces to make it easier to handle. We went 24" wide and whatever the height was except the 3 or 4 middle pieces we broke those at the bottom cord of the truss.

This is what the North side looked like when I finally quit around 6:30 or so - it started raining /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

As soon as we get this top covered I wanted to get it wrapped with Tyvek. This will by some time. As I want to get boxes in for the outlets and outside lights as well as give some time to save up some $. I might also go ahead and start wrapping some of the trim in aluminum. I'll probably also get the front doors up as well. Still haven't purchased the door for the tractor yet though.
