With it that high off the ground I see another project to come. A ramp to get bikes in and out.

Thanks GN.Excellent progress! Thank you for sharing the picture.
Looking at the rear wall and right wall I am surprised to not see windows. Getting cross ventilation through the room sure would help with cooling on hot days, unless you are going to have air conditioning in it.
Say now, that blue shade canopy is awfully short. You actually fit underneath it without ducking your head?
JK!
LOL, I am the only one in the house that can climb stairs and ramps easily. This is the only shop ever built deliberately to be hard to get in to. Lets just keep that our lil secret. snorkWith it that high off the ground I see another project to come. A ramp to get bikes in and out.

Cool, good to know, thanks Greg. Had to look up "barge rafter" http://www.google.com/imgres?hl=en&...200&start=0&ndsp=28&ved=1t:429,r:19,s:0,i:135Dan if you use 2x4's for the barge rafter put bridge blocks in between the rafter and the truss, this makes the overhang sturdy and prevents sagging over time.
Ahh, I did misunderstand the question. The over hang of the siding is one inch. Have to look. total is a few inches from the rake1"? or 1'?
big difference...lol
i imagine its a typo.
greg is right,its kinda difficult in the air,but to build the ladder on the ground attatch it to the gable end truss will make it easier.
there are several methods,notching the truss for 2x4's on the flat and cantilevering the blocking out the foot-doubling the length of the blocking makes it really strong.the sheeting supports the the end load.
when putting up rafters,carry in through door upside down,poke one end up on wall,then the other.leave em hang upside down and flip em up as you need them.
dont make a stack,mind you its a small house but my neighbor decided to make a big stack of rafters on his walls and the whole works collapsed under the load.
trashed about 30 rafters 40 feet long.i told him it was a bad idea.
