My dream of getting a pole barn finally came true. The delivery truck showed up last week and the builders weren't far behind. Here's the first step.
We had a heck of a time getting the posts set. It seems we found solid rock under several of the beams.
We ended up having to rent a compressor and a heavier duty jackhammer to get the builders moving again.
After a surprise visit from a building inspector (who woulda thunk you need a permit to build a pole barn in the middle of nowhere) shut things down again, we were able to pay the government their extortion money and get going again.
It was really exciting to see things coming together.
Ta-da! The shell is built. The money I was going to use for a concrete floor ended up going to the building inspector, so we're probably going to have a dirt floor for a while until I can build up the war chest again. But that's ok. It's not too bad to have dirt.
This is my drive through section and mechanical area.
Here's the barn from the front.
And looking at it down the road. I just need to paint a nose in the middle and it will look like a face
