OK, answers to questions:
Dirt/gravel floor. Unless I win the big lottery.
48 feet wide - three 16 foot 2x4s across bottom of truss. Wife and I set up a model on her sewing cutout table - (large graph) and used paper cutouts to represent machinery. Width gave me more versatile use of the space. Still going to have to be creative with parking. Was borrowing a 32x40 barn, and was difficult to get two wagons endways in the 40' space lengthwise. Dick, I won't have the trouble with headroom you are - no combine. Headroom is over 12'. Doors 11' high, 16' wide, overhead roll ups. Tallest machine I have is 9'. Anything I have will easily slide thru doors. Two doors, one on each end - drive thru if I can keep an aisle down the center.
Cost - you don't want to know.... about $45,000, not counting dirt hauled into site from my own gravel pit. Built as big as I could afford. I expect it won't take me three years to fill... Three weeks, maybe!

Sure looked nice tonite at dusk with the moon shining off that shiny new roof.
