Thanks for the comments guys. Libation on the porch..........Priority.
BGK. Just didn't care for the look with the window section lower. But definite consideration when planning.
We will be living in half of this for a year or two.......or three.....Until we build the house. Hope the wife doesn't see that three part.

Not Much to add on the pole barn Progress but did take some time this past Saturday to do a little fishing. Didn't have a scale but had a tape measure. Just shy of 15 1/2"

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Haven't made a lot of progress in the last couple of months but we are one major step closer to having a working toilet. Very big deal in my book. Looking down into Dose Tank Spent part of the holiday weekend inside my dose tank. Pull some wires, Set up controls and get inspected and we are a flushing. Wait until you see the bathroom.

Without flush toilets and showers, my Wife wouldn't even go with me.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

That is the best looking shed that I have ever seen. It is nice to see someone who takes pride in his work.

In my old age, I have come to appreciate the benefits of indoor plumbing.

Thanks Ken.
I'm with you Dave. We've had the in-laws RV up there for the last year or so to use the bathroom in. But this step will keep me from hauling you know what 10 gallons at a time to a dump station.

Looks great and many a mans dream. Lots of hard work and christened by the kids puts a great cap on one fine project. You should be and I am sure you are, proud of what you have and what is yet to come. Just a really great place.
Life is more fun with a pole in your hand.

AHHHHHH.......The simple pleasures in life. Got started prepping the floor this past weekend. Started with a 6 mil. vapor barrier. Followed by two inches of blue board insulation.

I'd go with rebar and not mesh. Put the rebar on hi-chairs and don't space closer together than 18". That allows the concrete guys to walk around without stepping on the rebar. Wire will be stepped on and will need to be pulled up, and its durn hard to pull it up evenly. Radiant heat tubes can be tied under the rebar to prevent them from getting stepped on during the pour.
I'd also put fibers in the concrete - it helps with surface cracks.
