Excellent progress Pete, you got a good crew working there!
You and me both!Ah. At least it's based on sound logic and not some busy-body's subjective opinion.
(If you couldn't tell, I would live in a refrigerator box before I'd submit to an HOA...)
Well, I always just lie to 'em and say big.Size?
Same here. I can understand somethings like not mowing lawn at 5:00AM, but when they tell you what color and style mail box you have that's BS!Ah. At least it's based on sound logic and not some busy-body's subjective opinion.

Despite having some problems with nearest neighbor we are lucky to not, at least when leaves are on trees, to be able to see another house from our property. Maybe a couple time a year we are blessed with the farmer spreading "you know what" on the fields to the east but that smell goes away in a couple days. At least it comes from cows and not pigs! Our place circled in red.

I'm in about the same situation. I love it. After being out here for 16 years, I could not live in town.Same here. I can understand somethings like not mowing lawn at 5:00AM, but when they tell you what color and style mail box you have that's BS!

I get a kick out of comments made on some of the home improvement shows, like when they comment on a house being large lot then they say it is 1/4 acre!I'm in about the same situation. I love it. After being out here for 16 years, I could not live in town.
My wife grew up on a dairy farm in Chautauqua County. I've been across your state and it is beautiful. We have 11 acres, can't see my neighbors, although they are great. Everybody minds their own business, yet they've got your back. The only thing loud around here is the occasional kid on a dirt bike/4 wheeler and gunshots. Everybody around here has their own shooting range. To quote that great sage Oliver Wendell Holmes Douglas "Take Manhatten Just Give Me That Countryside".I get a kick out of comments made on some of the home improvement shows, like when they comment on a house being large lot then they say it is 1/4 acre!
In the picture I posted right about where the "Google" is near the bottom would be our rear border. Then if you draw a line straight at the house to the left from the "G" then from the right rear corner of neighbors house straight to the road is the back and side of property owned by my ex-wife who now lives in B.C. Canada and gives us free range to do what we like like cutting firewood on her land. So between our land and her's we have just under 10 acres to use as we please!
Your guys work so quickly. Around here it would take a month to get that much done! Looking good!...interior decor...hmmmm.
I haven't made many decisions yet. The steel cladding for the walls and roof arrived today at about 11:45 and by 12:00 noon, the crew was here installing it. I'm excited!

The guys tell me that they expect to have the entire exterior cladded today.
Next Step: the floor and in-floor radiant heating pipe installation.

So, you pour a concrete floor next? I'm not sure why the "pole barn" rather than having the building constructed on a slab. The only time I've seen this is when a friend of mine converted his old pole barn into a shop. I'm curious.
Thanks Mikey!Looking Good
You lucky dog
