that just goes to show you that you needed another garage because 5 acres is not enough land to hide that big ass beached whale of an RV you have

Decided to change the title so there wouldn't be any confusion regarding flying FJ55s 
Okay, so here are some overdue picture updates. It's bigger than it looks in the last photo - just something funky with the perspective from the roof of the RV with the Taco in the foreground.

Did you change the orientation of the doors so you could have vaulted ceilings?

No. It will be 12' of lumber on top of the block. 13+ feet. Should be enough. I can tuck the crossbar of a potential lift in between trusses to get a few more inches if I have too.

Hey, it's never too late to check before the walls go up. You know what Tim's carpenter always says, "measure once, cut twice -- pass me another beer!"

How thoughtful of you to share that with us. 
I see you also have a load of lumber in your yard.

Got home too late for pictures tonight, but it looked great in the high beams and IPFs! All four walls are up and mostly covered with sheathing. Looks like the trusses are ready to go up in the next day or so. It is big.
