Thanks Kevin, you need to stop up again as we are digging our basement right now and construction on the house will follow. Still need to finish soffit and facia but been busy with house things. Will be homeless as of this Friday so need to move along the house process. You never realize all the crap one has until you have to move it all.

Great project Darren, what did you use to attach the sidewall headers to the posts? Also it looks like there is a 2x12 on top of a 2x6, are they connected somehow?

Thanks and I just nailed the sidewall headers up using # 20 nails and lots of them. As the rafters are tied to both sides and the 45* pieces are also nailed in between from both side it seem acceptable. All the force against it should be straight down and therefore would have to shear the nails off. I had the building engineered and this is what they came up with. Also the 2x12 + 2x6. Seemed like over kill to me but did it anyways.

That's pretty standard technique. I also put blocks under my headers that bear on the girts below, also used big honking ring shank nails that came with barn. Never saw one beam on top of another like that, interesting idea to get some extra strength. I would have thought they would use three headers instead of two and let one into the post. But they're the enginerds, they must know what they're doing.

Looks great!!! Just my experience, a 9' ceiling can be difficult flipping 4x8 sheet material around. You do what you need to do though.

I agree with you Mark. My thoughts were that I wanted to be able to put things up above with the pallet forks of the tractor. I can only reach 8' with the pallet forks and I knew that would be to low for the shop ceiling. So I went with 9' ceiling and will build a platform at 8' that the stairs go up to and at least be able to set a pallet at that height. Kind of a compromise but hopefully it will work out.

Well the exterior of the pole barn is complete and I built my 20' x 40' shop inside that is insulated walls and ceiling. Unfortunately, it will have to stay as is right now as we have moved all our stuff from our house we just sold into the barn. Barn is very small right now, can't even get my tractor inside. Now begins the building of new house. Hope I have the strength to get through the next few months.

Good luck with the house build. My wife and I built a house last year and while there were some stressful times overall it was a lot of fun.

Thanks wmonroe! Yes, building a house can be very stressful but I am going to try to enjoy the process. It is just physically tiring as I will do alot of the work.
