Ask to see the engineered truss drawing, that will tell you the strengths of each design. I don’t see what or if you are using for siding?

Have the truss company build a scissor truss, then false-frame down to end wall. Then strap to every stud below

Stairs on work bench side/end straight line 'C' shape(can't draw), using under stairs for storage. Or same style stairs going from inside to outside of garage(inclosed)......we have...
