Took the first step towards building my shop

Hard to tell what I am doing in the photos but I am preparing to add an anti-room to the side of the shop to provide a space for the stairs to the school bus and a shop restroom. One pipe has a wheel welded to the bottom like all the rest of the posts have and one already had concrete on it so instead of breaking the concrete off I decided to just burry it the total size of the area will be 8ft by 15 ft

This is turning out to be how not to build a work shop.
Only getting 2 purlin installed per day when there are 40 of them to install is not my idea of how to build a shop.
Moving the mobile scaffold takes quite a bit of time since I have to set the steering n it where I imagine it needs to go then chain it to my pickup so it can't runn off then push it a ways then get out and turn the steering wheel so the unit can straighten up, push it some more until it is about straight and has moved enough to the side to set the next couple of purlin then pull it back to where I need it. turning the steering wheel is Armstrong steering since the engine is not running hence no power steering and doing this while it is not moving makes that task that much harder. Thinking backwards now I wished I would have flew the next section of purlin up from the beginning. If I had I would now have nearly half of the purlin up for the roof and could have saved some moving time of the scaffold unit. But I was thinking about something else when I started then it was too late once I shifted the first time. Anyway now I have only 2 more purlin I can install then I have to move a bunch of stuff that is in the way for the next side or shift back and finish the other half of this side, but once I start on that side I am going to do the whole side as I go. I feel I have wasted a window of good weather although the wind has not been the most cooperative at times
