Nice work on the shed and I really like your mill. Must be a '95 with features? Tell us more.

Good job with the pictures. After you post each one you can add a couple of spaces between them (I like two) and also add some narrative. Click on the "Preview" button to see how your post will look. You can then scroll back down and adjust as necessary.

That's gonna be a super nice building.

Nice pictures! I'm a little green with envy over that building......

Steel trusses and wood purlins are great choices!. Make sure that you post lots of photos of your build.

Thanks guys it will take me a while to learn how to do it. Kind of slow :

Pjames · March 29, 2018, 12:13:41 PM

The mill is a 96 model I think I done ok only had 200hrs when I purchased it had been sitting in the weather awhile I have soon a lot work on it , working good now, still trying to figure out posting these pictures think I posted my profile on accident?

So-o-o-o-o, those must be self-elevating trusses,don't see no support equipment.What is the trade name for that style of truss?Looks like a great way to get under cover quick.They probably are not rated for a heavy snow load.
Mill looks real nice.

Pjames · March 29, 2018, 01:54:37 PM

Just a light weight metal trusses we do not have much snow load in north ms.i started this journey about two years ago so have some Catching up to do with the photos

Pjames · May 22, 2018, 09:37:48 PM

He was trespassing with some friends

Crusarius · May 23, 2018, 07:50:36 AM

Bet his friends will think twice about doing that again

Southside · May 23, 2018, 08:20:40 AM

How did you set the trusses in place?

Pjames · May 23, 2018, 10:15:39 PM

Built angle iron brackets and strapped them to top of the post lifted a section at a time with four chain falls worked pretty well gust need three good friends to operate chain falls.
