Ken,
I can't imagine moving my stuff either, but the city is on my case again. And the property evaluation just came in today's mail. The county raised my appraised value by $165,000 from last year. They want me to be gone so they can doze the place and my 2 barns and shop. It is getting UGLY!
Many jurisdictions in MN allow 35# snow load. My oldest son works for the Univ of MN in the Ag engineering and has seen many pole barns go down with heavy snow. Even if your place allows the 35# load, I'd sure recommend going stronger. If you are dealing with Menards for trusses and materials, be sure to specify what snow load you want, and get their engineering certification. To sell at competitive prices, they usually sell the lightest weight trusses they can get by with. We built my son's 36 X 65 ft addition with their trusses, but were very careful about specifications. And to support the end truss carrying a 36 wide X 14 high bifold door, we sistered 2 36' trusses together while flat on the ground, and raised them as a single unit. The bracing between trusses is very important so they do not curve out the bottom chord under heavy load. A curved bottom chord is a sign of imminent failure.
When you get closer to needing construction details, contact me. I'll show you what we have done.
Good Luck with all the moving and purchasing details!

Today's Featured Article - New Hitches For Your Old Tractor - by Chris Pratt. For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
