Here's a couple good sources for info, but be warned the first one does not like do it yourselfers. You may learn there that licensed electricians have a very high opinion of themselves. So read all you want, but ask intelligent questions, or not at all.

The next is the actual NEC code.... might be second newest one anyway.
http://www.nfpa.org/categoryList.asp?categoryID=279 I can't remember how you get to see it, You can look, but cannot print. I know you need to log on and agree to terms, but I can't remember the rest. I have it bookmarked at work, so I'll try to get more info. Or maybe someone else can fill in the blanks...


And here's some calculators...

Wow. the minimum structural requirement for walls there seems pretty skimpy....2x3's on 16 inch centre for 8' high walls or 2x4's on 24" centre for 10' high. I built mine with 2x6's on 16".

When a building with truss roof fails due to snow load, it's usually the walls that give out.

Same here its nice to fit R20-R22 in the walls, and im doing 1.5" SM as well. That should keep the heating costs down.
