I would think...That looks great...doubled the size?<br />I would think that there would be rafters needing replacement.<br /><br />I have a tarped roof(my first!), after late wet snow load bent the rafters metal shed and caved the ancient light panels 2 years ago, I could have saved it but didn't recognize the signs until later. Joist jacks and a tarp took care of it...temporarily-hehe. Replaced joist jacks with 2x2's (had to return jacks) and it'll get a new tarp, not shredded but leaking, before winter because I'm not sure how to replace a metal roof and it's mostly fencing stored in there, nothing that water can really hurt anyway.aarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08417076876238078877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-23679096505378800972016-06-27T13:46:33.272-04:002016-06-27T13:46:33.272-04:00Good question.

Right now he is very make-do in the tarp covered carport (into which a lot of water drains when it rains). We can also use the storage space. A lot of our equipment is stored outside, which isn't idea. And then there's wood storage! We need more of that!Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-37059295593684236662016-06-27T11:56:35.149-04:002016-06-27T11:56:35.149-04:00So you are expanding this barn, and still building...So you are expanding this barn, and still building the other bigger one?
