Lou, good for you for building your own trusses, don't listen to the nay-sayers. I built a gambrel roof barn a few years ago, and I built my own trusses. I used 3/4 plywood, gorilla glue and lots of screws instead of truss plates. Here in Oregon, for ag use buildings there aren't any permits, so I could do what I wanted.

Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that.
