A friend of mine is considering doing virtually the same thing, except he wants to do his all steel, welded. I'll see if he is interested in looking at your pictures. Looks like it is coming along well.

Not progressing as fast as I'd hoped, maybe not hot by Texas standards but hot for Canada. My igloo is melting. Too warm for me till the sun gets behind the trees, about 3 in the afternoon. Will be putting a steel roof on it, but not welded. The steel was delivered this morn.

I'm proud of you Greg, by 3 in the afternoon I'm ready for a beer and work (if any was done) is over.

3 in the afternoon is still early, BUT I don't do mornings. The early bird may get the worm but the second mouse gets the cheese.
Todays progress, layed out and cut all the parts for the trusses. Its a kit some assembly required.

Still too hot here for this cowboy, but managed to get the trusses built. Now to stand them up. Going to be interesting, I don't have an end wall to easily brace the first one to.

Good looking progress Greg, and i hear ya, too friggin HOT to get too involved , we're not 21 anymore!!Sweat

Re: Nothing to brace the first one too/,,,,, how about scabbing a couple of 2x6 etc together length wise and tacking them to each of your'e built up beams on the container roof??
Then brace the first four or so to that till you can get some strapping started.

Bit of thunder happening right now, so MAYBE we will get cooled off a bit.
