Thanks Blackhawk. We are north of Burlington VT.

Been a long time coming...14'x24', slab floor, 2x8 ceiling joists and 5/8" OSB for upstairs storage, 2x6 rafters set to 12/12 pitch. Pictures so far... Lots of fill, we are on a steep grade on a city lot: Decided to do the driveway while we were there: Setting the forms in place: Slab...

Ok, so I'm going with 2x8, 16"o.c., with 3/4 OSB up on top of this... Progress...
