Re: Spencer\'s Pole Barn Project
Just when I started making some real progress mother nature steps in. I was just getting ready to put up the first of the 16 foot 2" by 12" truss carriers when it started to snow. Luckily the lift that I had made for my loader worked perfectly to lift these monsters up to the proper height. I talked about the lift in <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.tractorbynet.com/cgi-bin/compact/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=buildit&Number=212009&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=0&fpart=>this</A> thread.

Re: Spencer\'s Pole Barn Project
Well I have this thread almost up to date now. That first night it snowed I got 4 inches of snow on my compound miter saw, air compressor, nailer, and my generator. That was not a good feeling at all. They were predicting a nasty storm for this last weekend so I went out and got some tarps. There not pretty but they sure have helped so far. Here is the first shot of my new temporary workshop.

Re: Spencer\'s Pole Barn Project
Now I have a question for all of you. I am getting (hopefully) the trusses delivered on Thursday. We are getting into the winter season up here in Michigan and I really want to get this roof on. I am worried about getting it started and not finished. What I am thinking is just getting the o.s.b. on, covering it up with something, and wait until spring to shingle it. I don't think tar paper (or whatever is currently used) will hold up all winter long by itself. Although the blue tarps are working for a temporary shop I don't want a blue tarp roof all winter, it probably wouldn't hold up anyway. I am wondering if that Tyvek house wrap stuff might do the trick. I've never seen anybody use it on a roof before but you guys have probably not seen anybody do half the stuff I have done in this post and its various links. So I am open to suggestions, I don't want to break down and hire somebody to do the roof for me. It's not just the money, I have done almost all of what you see so far all by myself and that means a lot to me. Do you think Tyvek would hold up? Any other suggestions? Even if I had the time to put the shingles on I am afraid they would not seal in these temperatures.

Re: Spencer\'s Pole Barn Project
I do not think that the 3 tab shingles will seal either for you. There are interlocking shingles that they use here in Dakota so that they can shingle in the winter. They work just as well as the 3 tab, but they do look a little different when they are done.
I do believe that the blue tarps will hold up better than the house wrap, providing that it properly secured so that the wind cannot get under it and whip it.
