I have a shed dad moved onto theplace as an old used lumber shed. Then he added a leantoo on it as a shallower roof line. It's 40x 36 or some such. Very shallow roof. Very old. Lot of 2x4 wood. The walls are framed 2x4, but the end walls are kinda pole barn look to them. Really old odds & ends wood.
It seems to hold up. One summer I rebuilt one end wall, the old siding was rotting apart. Pullerd the old siding off, and wonder what holds it up?
I do need to shovel it every few years.
I've learned that, rain is the enemy, if it rains on a deep snow pack on the roof, it really adds the weight, the water will run to areas and pile up the weight unevenly.
As I get older and lazier, I will shovel out a path or 4 up & down the roof, so the water will have a chance to drain all the way off in those channels.
Any sun that comes up will heat up the exposed channels and melt off more snow faster.
Seems to me the channels, down to the roof, are a good deal, and don't have to maybe do the _whole_ roof.
Old wood with old nails seems to hold a lot more than new wood and new nails.
Lot of roofs going down here in Minnesota tho, we got a lot of snow early on, and more is coming, with perhaps a 3rd rainy period before the snows.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
