So why aren't you down here helping me?!!

It looks good, they really start to take shape once the roof starts to go on. Looks like a really solid structure you got there.
I was on my way out the door to come down to help you, too, Gary, when I heard about that big snowstorm in the eastern U.S. - with no snow tires on my car, I decided to not chance it.
It's been over 20 years since I built my house (and I wasn't anywhere near high school at that time), so I probably wouldn't have been much help anyway. I am surprised that you opted for a built-up roof, though: that building is ideally suited to a truss-type roof, which would have allowed you to put the centre wall anywhere or even not use it at all. I do realise that it'd be difficult to move the trusses using a pick-up truck, though.
Your dimensioned drawing (giving new meaning to "feet" and inches) is somewhat confusing, though, as I was sure that your plan looked like this:
Did you have to get planning permission to move the door to the opposite wall?
