A Southern Dogtrot house. Bedrooms on one side. Living and kitchen on the other side. Cooling breeze funnels naturally thru the open center. Very popular design prior to air conditioning in the South.

THREAD; So, you wanna build a modern pole building and you're not sure where to start. "Screwing down tin doesn't sound too hard, but how do I get there?" Here's a step by step guide (my way) to building a small barn/garage. Much of this also applies to decks and porches. (1)
