Slight change of plans. After seeing how much they had to go down on front to get the site level and other considerations, we decided to eliminate the storage section in back, making the building 5' shorter. We also decided to turn the building so the entry door faces to the left and the roll up door faces to the right. Off the back end is a little high and necessitated a ramp, which we felt might be slippery in winter even if it's dirt covered by rock. Off to the right is a maple tree, easily removed and it's only a few inches off the ground at that point, easier for whatever has to come through that roll up door. Rearranged the pens a bit, made the center aisle a little narrower and voila, new design that will fit better on the pad, work better the new direction and is about $1000 cheaper, leaving us more wiggle room to do the interior. There is still some storage just to the left of the rolll up door, enough for the metal cans of feed and some shavings, can still make that loft for more if need be. This is DH's drawing (who still doesn't know I spell Xander with an "x" )
