Well Nutbar. I've got the stakes in for the level lines and I'm waiting for help to arrive to mark the location of the 4 corner posts. The instructions are about as clear as mud, but I think I have it figured out.
The building is built with outside girts so the posts have to be set in 1 1/2 inches from the corners to allow for the girts. at least I figured that out first, and wont have a 3 inch piece of wood siding, although I have a lot of rough cut 1x6 hemlock that would fill the gap and add decor. I may do that anyway.
That will give me a total wall thickness of 8 1/2 inches, so there will be lots of room for insulation.
I have built a lot of buildings using conventional construction, but only one with pole construction, and that was the train station in Schenley, and it was built from scratch, however we did have the old foundation to work from.
