the weather finally cooperated over the holidays and we made some progress. I used prebuilt trusses. I would do that again in a heartbeat. Took my requirements to a local truss outfit and they had them ready within a week. The roof will roll back 16' onto yet to be built rails on 4x6's supported by 4x4's or posts. in the one pic of the door, you can see the angle iron rails sticking out 2' past the end to connect later. Comments are welcome. I'll try and explain what hairbrained thinking was behind anything that might be wrong.... like running some of the wiring before i nailed on the hardi plank siding... 8O
