The shed looks good.  I doubt you have to worry about snow.  If I had done mine that way, I planned to stand up a post in the middle of the header when it was going to snow.  Are you going to put something over that osb to keep it from getting wet?  Maybe some metal roofing.

When did you start your build Crusarius?  The LT15 Wide has been on the market for a couple of years now.

Maybe I am just not all that smart and did not see it then :) yea, I think I will go with that. but its also $9500 at the farm show without any type of trailer. My budget was $6000. That is why I chose to build. Wish I had gotten much closer look athte 15 wide before I did. I really want to copy the mast design. Tempted to call woodmizer and see about getting a bearing set for it.

Thomas had a wide head when I bought my mill. I almost bought one,and I mean almost. This was probably about 15 years ago.

Peter.I just went and checked,I bought the mill in 2001. :o  So they had the wide one than.How time flies. Nothing that can really go wrong with the mill. The motor could die on. Sure would not be from over use. You put more hours on your in a month than I have on mine total.

Thought about thin sheet of pine with a good stain sealer.. possibly make a false beam look. And yes u are right u would have to weigh the snow  from the last 5  years collectively to even make snow cream lol
