Nice! Going to put blocking between the headers? I think birds/animals can still access above panels if not?
Pole barn must haves...

Almost there, just some green corner trim and garage doors when they get in
Rough grading complete and inside prepped for concrete vb & rebar, and the OH door. Those winds had me nervous, but she did fine.
I think 1 more load of dirt will take care of the area between barn porch and driveway, as it created a little bowl. Had some left over stone so a half ass approach was made.
I'm very glad I did the upper windows, but have had 3 bird casualties so far with that front door open, lol. The sliding back door and windows on the W produce great airflow. You could hear it singing thru the vented overhang too during the wind. Condensation and stale air was a major concern I had, not any longer.

All done, just waiting on the doors, wouldn't you know it, one of my sons needs to work on a car. Lol
Yep pressure washing the concrete tonight and sealing it tomorrow.
Looks awesome Adam, I am curious what you did a sliding door on one end. I thought about, because it was a way cheaper, but I was too far along when I added the third door. Are they doing a turn down slab with a footing or just a floating slab?
Its stone in the back, only the front 25' is crete.
Reason for sliding door is primary use for its early years will be animals and equipment in and out, more door for the $ now, didn't want low hanging door tracks, not going to insulate any time soon.

Looks awesome @5Cent ! I would welcome those dead birds under the windows. Lol. I’d much rather have them suiciding themselves than building nests and shitting everywhere. 
Must have - a vapor barrier under the mud if you ever plan to heat the space. I'm lucky I was home, they didn't know I wanted it.
Pouring it tomm. Mirror finish inside, brush finish and 1.25" slope on patio. Then sealed....finally.

This type of work is completely unacceptable. Slab looks great, but wall splatter the entire length, with some on window at chest height. They cut it yesterday, so I just went in this AM to take a peak.
Professional nasty gram and pictures sent to the builder this AM, I'll be letting mud foreman know this shit is unacceptable and they better put up plastic today to protect the outside metal while pouring the porch. Really hope the builder plays nice, as I'm not aware of any solution to use to remove, outside of a wire wheel which will remove the paint/destroy the wainscoting.

Dunno, will see what they say/do upon cleanup. I know I didn't pay for me to cleanup their work
