Continuing to enjoy framing in Softplan. Just the overhang lookouts left to add
and this will be complete. Good visual for the Framers, Homeowner, and
the Truss guy.

I hope you're getting well paid for that ... In my opinion, it's far in excess of what is required for construction information.
And just between us ... I wouldn't know where to start putting that roof together.

Hello Keith,
Way more than most require for construction info, agreed.
Having done hands on framing for almost 50 years I feel comfortable
stripping the building down and framing it. This approach gives me a chance
to catch any possible problem areas before sending the plans out the door.
I get top pay for doing this, $ Peace of mind.00

One town I do a lot of design work in, now requires a complete joist plan with joist layouts and sizes, location of the type of connections (nailed, hangers), strongbacks, beams, along with roof plans showing all rafters, purlins, bracing. The more we can do with the computers and software, the more the permitting departments are requiring.

I do it sometimes just to see if I can. I like framing so to be able to frame it up without no sweat and aching muscles its a fun challenge. Pole barns are fun. Looks like you have a drop truss on those gables and you need to add some ladders out to those fly rafters Steve. Looks real nice

Thanks Daniel, finished up the ladder/lookout framing and the roof is now complete.
Will have to do a step up in the center of the shop 10' high door so we can keep the
roof a little lower and still have room for the pickup with a camper on it.
Now we have the task of convincing the owners to use a 4' frost wall for the shop/right
side of the building were they insist on using a monolithic slab to connect to a 4' frost wall,
a recipe for future issues. I am sure you can relate to the potential future issues given
you are building in the U.P.
