I started on my barn/dream shop last week. Main building will be 40' x 80' with a 20'x80' side shed. I am going to pour concrete in 40'x40' of it for my shop.
4" on 12" metal trusses on ten foot centers. Side sheds are 3" on 12". Main barn sits 16 feet at the posts, because I needed the height for the side sheds.

I have always needed more room, and I am about to get it.

I am building a small (800 square foot) apartment in the side shed. We just listed our house and plan to live in the apartment for a year or two until we decide on a house. Being a guy, I could live in the barn forever, but the wifey ain't gonna have it. It's just us and the dogs, so we can make it for awhile without killing each other. Apartment will turn into a band room/guy room when we move out. It will be sharing a wall with my shop.

Anyway, here are a few pics as it sits today. I've gotta get someone to put on the roof for me. I'm just tired of messing with it. I just want to come home from work one day and it be done.

I'll keep the progess updated as it happens.
