Lou, good for you for building your own trusses, don't listen to the nay-sayers. I built a gambrel roof barn a few years ago, and I built my own trusses. I used 3/4 plywood, gorilla glue and lots of screws instead of truss plates. Here in Oregon, for ag use buildings there aren't any permits, so I could do what I wanted. The building inspector did tell me that if I didn't build to code they could make me tear it down. I got a good laugh out of it because I never let him in the building. As far as I am concerned, what I built is well beyond code. I have had contractors look over my work and they found nothing wrong with what I did. This past fall, I put an addition on my house and I had to have trusses made because of the engineer stamp. As far as I am concerned they are poor quality. As far as cost effective? Your time is your own, so use it as you think best. This country seems to be turning into a nanny-state with ever expanding governmental controls. I would rather if the gov just left me alone. Ted
