building pole barns in the sky

I live in cold ND and see that you are in MI, so heat is important. I have a 40 x63 w 12' ceiling. I put pex hot water floor heat in the concrete and love it. If you can get natural gas that will be cheapest heat. I kept 1\3 unheated to save some money but have plenty of heated work space. Most 2 or 4 post lifts will work in 12 foot ceiling. Menard's has design center that will let you try different floor plans and door layouts and will give good cost. I bought one and staggered some item purchase to get on sale.
