What about going 10' sidewalls with cathederal trusses in the area where the lift might go. What is the centers of the trusses on the pole barn going to be? If they are on 8' centers like some pole barn builders could the lift go up between the trusses???

Well after shopping around I found a 30X40X14 with a 10X10 door its around 7500 (delivery and off loading included) some friends will put the posts in and the trusses up I will have pretty much just the siding and metal roof to put up. I am up to lifting 30 lbs so I hope the sheets dont weigh more than that.
Think I will start a new thread with pics of it going up. Plans (hopefully) will be here in a week then 2 to 3 weeks to get a permit and for the materials to arrive.

Its not the weight of the sheets that gets ya, its the awkwardness of them. Get some help and be careful.

Yeah they weigh three times more when a good gust of wind tries to sail them with you holding on!  ;D

Thanks it was alot harder than I thought it would be. No more Pole Barns I will do conventional framing from now on :) . I am hoping to have electric in it before winter sets in. I live in the Peoples Republic of Maryland so I must hire a electrician I can not pull the permit,last estimate I got the guy pretty much told me I am screwed and he can charge what ever needless to say he isnt getting the job.

do you know anyone who is certified?  
If I knew how to do it, and I own the dang garage, I guarantee I would do that myself.  The county person could then go and inspect it afterwards, but no commie is gonna tell me I can't work on my own house/ garage.  
I would at least drill the holes, run the wire, put in the receptacles, hook up the breaker panel, etc...Then some certified dude could officially flip the switch or something. Do it like normal people, just hire someone as a consultant. The labor i will do.

If I was just running service from the house I would do it and not get a permit but with putting a new service out to it the electric company wont bring the line to the house till a permit is pulled . I am trying to get just a bare minimum done to get the service then I will do the rest.
I did the adding what the electrician was going to install was going to cost 500 (my store price so he would more than likely get it cheaper) so he wanted 3500 for labor.
