Since I'm going to replace the roof on the shop due to hail damage I decided to raise it from 8' to 12' high like I should have in the first place. 
I'll remove 12 to 14 ft of roof at a time and add 4' stem walls then reuse the trusses. Will also replace the 7/16 thick OSB sheeting with 3/4 tongue & groove (also like I should have in the first place).
This will enable me to install a 2 post car lift inside and use my forklift w/o cutting it down. I realize it will be a lot of work, but the advantages will be high and I'd been thinking about this for awhile.
Part of the house has a 12/12 or close to it pitch which I'm hiring out. The remainder is 4/12 pitch.
I'll have to wait until my heel is much better as I'm dealing with rejection of the artificial bone used to fill the hole in the heel bone.
So I'm looking for suggestions. I plan to install 4' stem walls built on the ground then lifted up instead of building them directly on top of the existing walls.
Has anyone done this and if so what approach did you use?
What problems should I watch for?
Thanks in advance
