Took the first step towards building my shop

[Frank S]

Got started making my trusses out of the salvaged trusses I have had for 5 years
Piecing them back together and doubling them while I am at it. since the old building was 120 ft and mine will only be 60 ft I have enough to make the amount of trusses I need
Doubling them will make them almost 3 times stronger than they were before since I am adding more bracing and once installed there will be horizontal and diagonal bracing from truss to truss. plus I won't have a 70 ft span my span will be more like 60 ft much less by the time I add in corner bracing from the columns to the trusses the span will be reduced another 6 to 8 feet.

About half completed

Probably no work tomorrow , Life it going to get in the way have to go look for a new cook stove.
