Some details .. . .

Walls are 4 inch SIPS, 12 feet long. Spline is a 2x4 glued and stapled to the next SIP. Roof is on trusses (4/12 pitch). Trusses every 4 feet. Roof panels 6 inch SIPS.

Metal "ag" panel roof (24 G) with white metal trim.

Both sides of the SIP are 1/2 inch oriented strand board (OSB). Roof overhang on all sides of 1 foot.

Small area inside for conditioned space office (12 x 28 feet). Insulated metal overhead doors (14 feet wide x 10 feet high).

Outside is 1/4 ply (0.25 inch) 4x8 plywood sheets rough cut to look like cedar. Battens (3 inch) then go up vertically every 1 foot to cover plywood edges and to match other barn on property. Stain is a light gray color (sorta looks like old cedar).

All built on 18 inch concrete (3500 psi) stem wall (6 inch thick) with J both holding down plate every four feet. Stem wall on 18 inch diameter piers about 3-6 feet deep) until rock was hit.

I am putting in at least 10 hours of work a day . . . exhausting.
