Totally forget using wood for a building that size. Wood trusses can be built, to span a hundred feet, BUT the roof peak will be incredibally high which will cause wind loading issues and take twice as much steel to cover it. Steel rafters can be built to support a 1 or 2 on 12 slope and the roof blows clear of snow rather than allowing the snow to build up on the lea side of the building. The low pitch also allows the whole roof to warm up when the sun shines in the winter.

We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
