Access point installed!
8ft ladder with the 12ft ceiling was a little sketchy but I managed.
I'm tempted to add one more access point in the attached garage then I'd have our property pretty much covered, the attached garage and out front, the signal is a little weak.

I've been trying to decide what I want to protect all the concrete with. I've looked at sealers for the patio/approach and epoxy/polyeura for the barn. Having someone come do the floor is $5-$6 a square/foot which is about what the concrete cost itself. Right now I'm seriously considering going with ghost shields 8510 https://ghostshield.com/product/siloxa-tek-8510. Does anyone here have any floor coating experience?

Foam Insulation is getting sprayed Monday!
I ordered the GhostShield for the concrete. They said it'd be perfectly fine without acid etching or diamond grinding. Hopefully, it's as good as everyone says it is, as I've got nearly 20 gallons of it on the way!
Grass is coming in nicely - fence went in on Monday!

Steel is up on the inside. I'm not 100% happy but I'm at the point I just want to start using my barn. I was thinking they'd use a channel at the bottom of the walls but they did not. They didn't have a 1/2" steel drill bit so they used a 1/2" wood spade to drill the holes in the metal for the electrical. The boxes will cover it but wow. I offered to let them use my bits and holesaw kit, but they didn't. I asked them to drill a hole for the garage door openers and told them I'd mount them, and they took it upon themselves to mount them. The steel was dirty from sitting around and that's how they put it up. Half of the barn they put the dirty end toward the roof. I spent yesterday cleaning, and still have more to do today.
They are taking care of all my other complaints about the doors and replacing 5 sheets of exterior metal that they scuffed the crap out of while installing and re-installing 2x. I know I'm picky and a pain in the ass, and I'm trying really hard not to be a dick, it's just barn right?
I'm glad I ran 2 network cables - as I forgot I had them tucked behind a post, and they are permanently foamed there now. One of them was long enough to make it through the wall and be punched down, the other is just hanging out.
I'm glad it's Friday - it's been a long week!
