OK so I decided to shorten the walls a little. I settled on 6.5'.
As you can see a good distance. Took me a good bit to get supports in and studs cut to size.
Here you can see I'm finished with shirtening process.
Here you can see I've finished adding the wall braces for support. Hard to believe these make a world of difference with stability. Might add a few more before its all said and done.
Here I added my first ridge support. Only to notice this is too short.
My slope would have been really bill with this. Wouldn't be that bad in SC if I was using pollycarb panels. But I'm using plastics sheeting. So I needed at least a 30° slope like suggested by a forum member. So that's what I did.
I raised the roof beam. Now keep in mind this is a 16' 2x4. Not an easy task to do solo, but it was done and now off to cutting the rafters.
So with having to work the next day I couldn't pull another all nighter. I could only work till about 11 or so. Here are the results.
I can hardly wait till the next day to work on it. I need more lumber. I'm short one roof rafter and door material. I plan on keeping the 4' door. Well just shy of 4'. I need to add headers under the ridge beam support to keep it from sagging over time. Can never have too many supports. I want to be able to hang from the rafters like my current GH. And I'm a 260lbs guy.
I'm very happy with the progress so far. I wish is wasn't going as slow and I could work on it more, but such is life and it will get done.
