Nice looking polebarn / workshop tom.
I'm thinking of building one on my property.
I'm thinking 40 x 40, I have a few toys that need a nice home.
This may be a good thread to start.
I think a lot of guys have or are thinking about the right workshop or
hanger to build.
If done right the cost can be almost reasonable.
What have others done?
There are building kits or scratch built.
The kitfox photo thread has been great, how about photo's of your workshop?

I built a Series 5, and am about halfway through a Zenith CH801 (4 seat)
both of which I built in my 12x26 single car garage. So a huge amount
of space isn't that necessary. Would sure be nice though :)

Ethanol Rampant, Mogas Users Warned
AOPA is warning aircraft owners who normally use automotive fuel purchased
off the airport to test the gas for ethanol even if the pump doesn't say
there's alcohol in the fuel. The federal government mandate to increase the
use of renewable fuels in gasoline blends has prompted some companies to add
ethanol without notification and that can be dangerous for aircraft engines.
"While AOPA has successfully prevented ethanol from being blended with
avgas, there are limits to http://www.avweb.com/newspics/ethanol.gifwhat the
general aviation industry can do to prevent auto gasoline from being
blended," AOPA said on its
<http://www.aopa.org/aircraft/articles/2008/080429ethanol.html> Web site In
Idaho, pure gasoline is apparently so rare that it's no longer available at
some airports. "What I'm hearing from my members is that they cannot find
ethanol-free auto gas on airports anywhere," Idaho Aviation Aviation
Association Director Ken Jackson said in an email to AVweb. "Their choices
now are to switch to 100LL, run contaminated fuel, or hang it up."
The FAA forbids the use of ethanol-blended fuel in regular aircraft.
Ethanol-blended fuel can harm rubber fuel bladders, damage hoses, and
attract water into the engine encouraging rust. FAA studies have also shown
ethanol to cause inaccurate readings on fuel gauges and problems with
electric fuel pumps. Premium auto gas in some states has been saved from an
ethanol mix too, but that may change due to mandates put on the petroleum
companies. Avgas is not suited to many older engines because of its high
octane. The salvation for pilots who want or need to use mogas could come
from the recreational motorsports sector, which may have the numerical clout
to make regulators listen. Many engines used in boats, personal watercraft,
ATVs and motorcycles are also harmed by ethanol.
P.S.
T'aint good for most cars either... That includes so called flexible fuel
vehicles.

Duke,
I see you do not have the center support on your skylight, are you running a
heavier windscreen or is it just not required?
