I was able to upload some of my photos (6 of 21) onto tinypic.com which show the progress from Jan 18-27.

Framing pictures viewing from the east.

The roof and sidewalls are nearly complete.

Ridge venting, 35 psf snow load trusses 8' OC w/ bird proof roof insulation

Smoke color poly carb eave lighting on south/north sides

14 x 14 door-both ends

More photos will be added as the work progresses. The builders had a stretch of nice weather.

What's bird proof about that roof?

Do you have 2 different truss types or is that an optical illusion?

Looks nice. My 48x81 x 15.5 high they came on Monday with 2 people, had 3 people by Wed, had the full 4 crew healthy for Thursday, brought a 5th person Friday to help with screws, and cleaned up Saturday morning, all done. Went so fast, I didn't get a whole lot of pics of the progress!

Here are some more pics of nearly complete building; still waiting on the cupolas and of course concrete on hold for a few months.

That is a very nice building.
Good move on the 14' doors. I kick myself every day for the 12' doors I put in.

And how many tractors do you have?... Gonna heat that? Very nice construction and lots of room, a corner for the house so you don't have to go far to play!

Why aren't the doors centered?

Wedge 40,

Door location was a decision made during the design phase. I thank all of the people who provided their input. For my purposes and storage needs, two boats side by side measure about 18 feet. If I had placed the 14x14 door directly in the center of the 48 ft. wide building, it would have under 17 feet on either side of the door. Thus, I offset the doors, leaving 20 ft. on one side and 13.5 on the others. Boats go on the 20 ft. side and smaller items can be easily stored on the 13.5 side (e.g. ATVs, bikes, jetskis, snowmobiles). Plus, the mezzanine will likely go on the 13.5 side since the boats will need higher clearance. Access of items will be easier, I believe, with storage on either side of the doors. That was the thinking, we'll see how it works out in actuality once I begin storing things this summer/fall.
