I've been following this build from the beginning. You are doing a really nice job, keep up the good work. Your new tricycle motor will be helping you in no time!

Don't cheap out, add the bathroom. If Mrs ain't happy, your life will just suck. Put a big shop sink in the shop area, you'll use it a ton.
I've wired up several of these structures, but never a wood one. All have been steel structure and metal studs. I come from a commercial construction background, so it seems perfectly normal to me.

You are absolutely correct about the outside sink, you have to have it. I plumbed out for one under the lean-to, probably do a double stainless sink.

Looks great. Did you build the pole barn yourself or have that part contracted out? I'm looking for a builder who will build south of Houston, near Alvin. Before the oil strike I had been talking with Reed's Metal Buildings but they haven't gotten back with me now that I'm back to work and ready to get the ball rolling. I had thought about using one of the Okie builders but they are a 9 hour drive away if I have a problem.
I was looking to go the 40/60 pole "barndo" route, but I'm dropping back and punting with a Tilson home that the wife loves. Now the barn has been downsized to be my 30/50 ft "Fortress of Solitude". I am getting a 20/50 ft shed to be half storage & half patio on one side.
