Priced trusses for the shed, every one kept telling me it wasn't worth making rafters, HUH $1539 savings if I spend a couple days cutting lumber.

Greg, that is a great setup for building storage, Cool, ,,,3 bay openings,, that is neat!!
Your'e mill,--- bandmill, or circular?
Yup, hot right through till tuesday anyway. Sure do need about 2 days of rain.
RE: Storage Building - f350ca - 07-11-2012
Could sure use some rain here too, the swamp dried up a week ago, have to haul water for the garden now. Its a band mill, it will sit in the 4th bay at the end of the far container.

Looks great! Greg, I can't remember (say that often now) did you level the containers? I imagine that the trusses you make will run from front to back, right?

hi well you cud be in the UK its dun nothing but Raine and this is awher summer time the storage building is cumming on well
RE: Storage Building - f350ca - 07-12-2012
They're close to level, can't remember (said often too) how close I got them at the time. Im blocking between the beams and the corners to get straight and level. the one corner was down about 3 inches. and they're about an inch out of square. Again can take that out on the beams. Using 1" square pins to anchor 1/2" threaded rod down through the beam and into the corner pockets to hold the roof down, in case gravity fails us or a wind tries to lift the roof.
Yes the trusses run front to back, which to my surprise isn't exactly 20 feet, 19' 10 1/4" actually, I thought they'd be right on.
