So I built a pole barn for hay, check it out.

Old telephone poles>> http://picinfinity.co/d/504957fe-f31b-4806-864a-816e0c67e529.jpg

Built some scaffolding>> http://picinfinity.co/d/396450f4-5428-438d-91bb-9058208cd7d3.jpg

Using a chainsaw cut the poles at the same length and notch the top>> http://picinfinity.co/d/e0bc7c8b-1542-4106-acbb-cc990705cd73.jpg

Doubled out 2×8 sits in the notch to make a header >> http://picinfinity.co/d/a621db3c-7d59-4e3e-8f83-1659e944135c.jpg

Then a 2×8 band on the inside and another laid flat on top. After that pull up the trusses with some rope and nail them in place>> http://picinfinity.co/d/d3cee0c5-bd41-431d-86a7-64f14b832561.jpg

Progress>> http://picinfinity.co/d/26165845-a84c-4411-8f52-555c99fab573.jpg

As we go, we nail lathe on the top of the trusses to have something to screw metal to>> http://picinfinity.co/d/02bdf003-9bea-466a-a10d-7b59b7725f54.jpg

Metal all screwed on>> http://picinfinity.co/d/c287711e-65e3-431d-8ba2-0c6f8914db3b.jpg

From underneath>> http://picinfinity.co/d/93c5f33a-5dbe-4db4-887b-e12aea901e4d.jpg

And the ridge cap>> http://picinfinity.co/d/d7dc8c9a-cfcb-4b00-9f0f-767668dee2d6.jpg

Done>> http://picinfinity.co/d/6325fe22-03b7-40f3-a653-ee8198edaa45.jpg

Well that was fun. 27ft to the top of the ridge. Not for the faint of heart.
