1. A private drive does not stop high frequency radio signals. And if you thin it does then you are just as blinded as whitetaildave24 and need to wake up. 2. My point to you Mr. @waynes was simply that spray foam insulation is filled with various noxious chemicals. That produce off gas and are at least as great of a risk to your immediate health as the cell phones we carry in our pockets. The higher the frequency the shorter the distance it can travel. Look it up. Closed cell is a little better. Seal the aluminum dust away. Just remember at one time many doctors and experts told the American public that smoking was good for you. Soon your hear how bad vaccines are. In 10 to 20 you hear how bad radiation is for you. I’ve read about that insulation and I mean it’s as toxic as second hand smoke if you ask me. And you are correct about the higher frequencies traveling less distance to a degree. They just don’t maintain those frequencies but they continue on and on until absorbed by something or deflected into another direction.

Close cell is more costly, but a lot less toxic. "Quote: Closed cell insulation excels at keeping out moisture, reducing energy costs, and serving as an eco-friendly insulation option." The Fiberglass insulation isn't good for you either. Shoot- I ran the HPDE Plastic Water line between my house and barn. I have about 800 ft from street to house and 120 ft from house to barn. That will get me 1st.

Wayne, check the resistance (ground rod to ground contact) on the ground rod. There IS a spec out there somewhere, a client had to have 40' long ground rods to get the correct resistance on his pole barn. The electrician had what he said was a "special" measuring instrument to measure the resistance.

Since it's sitting on bed rock I'm sure it's good. The county approved all of it. I was concerned of a ground loop between house and barn, but each ground is about 150 feet away.

One year ago today I was getting ready for gun opening day and the new barn supplies-hardware shows up. Then on the 14th the workers came to start the build. Hunting Indiana was off the chart. There is a good chance I would have not been hunting at home on the 17th. It's been one busy year. I have two more big projects left for the barn. Insulate spray the roof with high density boards on the sides and building the loft. Both projects will start after hunting season. This spring finish the water faucets etc.

i.imgur.com/w09zFRJ.jpgi.imgur.com/AlmkasJ.jpgFinished loft today and moved suff up there. 4.5 feet at the ends and 8.5 feet in the center. Next will be lights under the loft. Decided not to hunt this weekend with the weather and losing my best friend. Working helped freeing my mind. Added lights:

Just finished the water in the barn. Two outside faucets and capped tee for the utility sink. Still need to pick one up. Next will be some sheets of wood for new work bench and insulation boards. Never ending projects.

I added a side back fluid light for future sled riding. Between this new fluid light and the house backyard fluid light the snow sled riding track is lit up. My sons and friends called it the suicide hill. Now I have it in two sections for the younger kids. Top platform and a mid platform. The picture was taken is above the 2nd platform. It gets steep after the 2nd platform. Around 80 yards long and a good 90 foot drop. In fact, if the kids get creative, I have an outside faucet just behind the gutter in the back. Right in the corner. They could flood the hill and let it freeze and turn it into a ice sliding downhill rink. I have the water controlled in the basement of the house. I can turn it on for them and then draining back out so it doesn't freeze. I guess I need a steel barrel for a fire pit behind the barn for the kids. This picture shows the sled riding trail. The 2nd platform area by the fence gate and the hill part that is really step. It shows the start of the 2nd part of the hill. If you follow the fence line into the woods my deer stand is about another 15 yards into the woods. The deer run the side of the hill.

Update on the insulation and barn related projects. The start on my new youtube channel "Waynes Honeybees". Next year I'll start creating Honeybee related videos. See what happens. My motto: "Welcome to Wayne's Honeybees where our Spirits are sharing the Honeybee Dream". Turning the back part of the barn into wood shop and honey production. Messy right now. youtu.be/bVWgrFFgvoEyoutu.be/ScLsY0avaI4

Just me thinking aloud, no windows because you don't need folks peeking in to see what you got. Windows are also a great area for a break in entry point. Face the garage doors toward your house so you can see them a a glance. My dad had a pole barn built but he put the windows up aboot 1 foot from the top of the wall to let the light in but aren't accessible easily from the outside.

Not an issue where I live. This window opens up which makes it nice in summer. Most people are afraid of my bees and stay away. Better than a security dog. The hives are on the other side of the barn. Plus I'm at the end of a private drive. My house garage has 2 windows and a lot of homes garages have windows. No big deal. I should have installed it in the back wall for a deer blind.

I've been busy working on the barn when not hunting. I have the insulation 100% complete and half of OSB board up. Here is where my deer-bee cooler is going. It will be roughly 6'L x 5'W x 11.5'H. Sided not finished, but no rush to get it finished. Have some of my buck hanging up.
