This has been going on for a while now but I just havent had time to put up pics etc. Anyway, here goes.

Specs:  
40’x48’x12’ pole barn construction  
Full attic ~16.5’x44’x8’ - designed to be additional shop space - likely for woodworking and storage - with walk-up stairs  
Radiant floor heat  
100A electrical  
Water, etc.

I think Ill just toss up a handful of pics a day until we are caught up.

Ya, my lot is SUPER rocky. Even that thing had some fun digging a few of them.

Of course on the lift. Just who knows when. There are like 9087308473 things to buy first. Like electric, heat, insulation, lights…

Cool. Ya, I have no specific timeline here. Id LOVE to have it insulated and heated by winter, but Im pretty sure that wont happen. Just for kicks I had MIG quote the insulation job (R21 wall, R38 ceiling - 2x12 attic floor joists)… $6k ouch. Of course Ill do that myself. Looks like at Lowes prices its about $3k, not terrible.
