Thank you. I was going to try to put the down supports on the truss before lifting, but I wasn't sure the boom would handle the added weight of the truss with four supports in place, plus, I would have to line them all up on the cross bar at the bottom, so I'll be cutting and reinforcing each end and one center truss with 4 stiffeners before putting on the purlins and then the R panel.
I'm using 30' continuous section C purlins, and will modify the boom so I can feed them in from each side, up to the truss roof-line, and weld in place from below. I'm getting my MIG unit up there to do the purlins as they are lighter weight, and upside down welding with MIG is easier than stick.
Here's another pic of me up on the ladder welding in the angle truss support. Of course, it will all be much stiffer once the purlins and R-panel is up and screwed on. Then, I'm thinking of T1-11 eight foot walls with a wainscoat, and some kind of faux brick along the bottom to the ground. Stained red cedar, and I'm thinking of copper or burgundy R-panel roof sections.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
