Around here the favorite way to get a pole building up is to hire a
mennonite work gang. They know exactly what they're doing work hard
and fast. Plus they're reletively cheap.

If you're going to do it yourself there's nothing hard about it just
start at the bottom and work your way up. It's possible to muscle 40'
trusses into position but much faster and easier to just hire a boom
truck for a couple hours. Get 1or 2 helpers that day. It's really
tough installing steel siding by yourself a helper for that is a good
idea as well. A scaffold on wheels makes a lot of the work easier.

Has anyone put up a polebarn hanger by themselves? TElephone poles are
in place, but the airport manager doesn't have the time to work on it
so I'm thinking of doing what I can. There are other PB hangers in the
immediate area, so I can copy from them. Big concern is lifting the
trusses and any other heavy or arkward stuff; thinking about a tripod
or gin pole. If you've had experience, I'd like to hear any hints - Mike
