I have a Morton deluxe machine storage shed that was put up in Oct, 2008. 60'X 88' X 16'. I looked at a lot of shed mfg's offerings before I decided on Morton. In fact, my cousin and her husband sold Cleary buildings at that time. Anyway, I got 2' roof over hangs for two reasons. One to deposit snow and ice slide offs farther away from the building and, most important of all, to accommodate soffit vents. I also got the continuously vented roof ridge. This allows fresh air to be pulled in through the soffit vents and exhaust through the roof ridge vents. Believe me when I say NOTHING rusts in that shed. I have an 8' disc that I haven't used in over two years in there and the disc blades are as shiny as the day it went in. A dark colored roof will facilitate roof heating which will accelerate snow/ice slide off and cause greater air flow. And, contrary to what some might think, with 16' high sides, the temperature at floor level with the doors open will be whatever the outside temperature is. I went all the way with white sides and a black roof. Ten skylights allow plenty of light during daylight hours so you don't need to have lights on to work on machinery. My doors are on the ends (I'm in snow country). Big door on main end is plenty wide enough to allow combine w/soybean header in and high enough, too. Door on far end is standard width to allow corn planter and anything else in and out. Saved a little money that way. Doors open and close so smoothly that they can be pushed with one finger. Wainscot on sides makes it easier and cheaper to replace any damaged panels. I haven't had any damage even with considerable snow/ice piles. People doors should be on ends if possible. Again, snow/ice coming down. Or, have stoops over them. I paid extra for a 4' overhang over the main entrance end but the roof is so high that it doesn't do much good. It would help a lot more on a lower building. I put a 5" concrete floor down on highly compacted Wisconsin sand. Re-Rod crisscrossed every 30" with thicker concrete and additional re-rod at entrance doors. Trusses are on 8' centers which is what Morton prescribes for snow loading in my area. 50 year snow load warranty. Side posts are laminated 2X8' posts because of the 16' height. Some mfg use 6". I didn't put any side windows in because I didn't want anyone looking in. I am completely satisfied with Morton and recommend them. We had 70 mph straight line winds a few years ago that blew down old barns, trees, ripped off roofing, etc. and my shed had no damage at all. Order your Morton in Feb during their sale days.

Today's Featured Article - Tuning-Up Your Tractor: Plugs & Compression Testing - by Curtis Von Fange. The engine seems to run rough. In the exhaust you can hear an occasion 'poofing' sound like somethings not firing on all cylinders.
