Looks like you got a good start. We just set trusses on the one we are building today. Finish framing tomorrow. Building inspector has to do his thing on Friday so hopefully if our steel gets here we will put it up on Monday/Tuesday and be done.

Lucky you. We are building in the county as well, but they have a building dept. I dont mind the inspection, but it sure does add time to the job. And of course they are on their own schedule so it waste a day no matter how you do it.

Awesome work Brad! I have been pricing a pole barn for a few months now, for a 30x40x12 lowest I can find is around $9200 w/3 garage doors framed w/ 2 roof vents. I also priced all metal w/cement and labor was around $23k. Likely going pole barn with this economy, if I could find some good helpers I might attempt to do it my self but like they say, time is money.

Post some more pics when you can, thanks!
