Never been to neck of the woods but my parents vacationed there and had a great time... they were bumped off a flight and got a anywhere airline pass and Dad said let's go somewhere we have never been and Slave Lake was it... they met a lot of very nice folks.

Nice work. I missed your location. I saw the wood plant in the background and thought, "Florida?" AND then the next picture with snow appears....

I've been following this thread. My question is in regards to the trusses. Were those engineered units or were they something you designed yourself?

No they aren't engineered. I built them myself.

Well I was really hoping to at least get the sheeting and tyvek on but winter haul is going full bore so I guess this project is on hold until next year now. I haven't had a day where I was done work before dark yet but this is how it stands now.

Neat picture with the snow and the lights. Will the snow affect the OSB on the walls?

Nice project. Night photo makes it look ... cold!
Did you choose a tin roof because of durability, light weight, or ???. I have a garage on my property built long ago from wood milled at the property. Trusses were not engineered as it was a .... no permits required ... type of job.
I've been thinking about sheeting it with OSB and putting a composition roof on, but I don't want to put more weight than it can handle. I don't know how to figure out what weight is appropriate. Except the tin must be much lighter.

What is the spacing of your trusses and how steep is your pitch? One of the advantages to metal over shingles is that you can space your trusses out a lot farther. Shingles need trusses 24 inches on center, or closer. I personally space my trusses out 4 feet and then use 2x4's on the flat for purlins across the trusses so I have an easy target to screw the metal down. Pitch is how steep the roof is. For metal, you can get away with 2:12 without any issues, but for shingles, you should never be less then 4:12
