I have been talking about starting this project for the last few years and finally bit the bullet. I will be doing this in stages, but the roof was the weak link. The steel roof would condensate and almost "rain" inside. I had stuff that was rusting worst inside then if I would have put in outside in "Washington" rain! First plan was to tear off existing steel, sheet with plywood, a special roll out membrane and then new steel roof. One of my engineer buddies was over and pointed out the deflection I had in my roof structure and we shifted to plan "B". All new framing to match weight loads, span etc. First 2 bays are done, will start on 3rd bay in a few days. Goal is to get new roof on the 3 open bays before winter. After that I have to knock out the back walls and reframe, sheet and insulate. Then we can move to concrete floor and new roll up doors. My girlfriends brother is a master carpenter so I lean on him heavily.
