Since I wrote that I measured the backhoe and only need twelve feet height 
for entry. But I like the higher door as this type building typically does 
not have windows and opening a bigger door lets in more light. The greater 
the distance from the slab to the bottom of the trusses allows the ability 
to swing long pieces of anything. A second floor may be built at the back 
eight feet or so, with seven feet headroom at the slab.

Nah, here in my part of the Ozarks, the world is my toilet.
