namelus – Was thinking on your flooring have you seen you tube channel primative technology, it has lots of wonderful ideas on building abodes from nothing.
You understand yet man never says one word.
I have watched them and am impressed both by his building skill and the skill he shows in communicating it without saying a word.
namelus – If you want your roof to outlast you make it from two layers of 1/2 inch ply layer 90 degrees overlap glue and screw , then 1/8 torch on. For metal roof use a method called standing double seam with 11 inch pans and one continuous length. You might want to not have apex roof, if you have off set roof you can use Windows at top for lighting and ventilation. Basically instead of meeting at apex the one roof is 18 inches lower allowing for Windows. Aim south for warm north for cooler
Not sure what ” then 1/8 torch on. ” means. If I have heard of it, it’s under different words.
My plan is to have screened windows at both ends, one just under the apex of each end for loft ventilation and at least one on the bottom at each end. And if I’m grid connected a high efficiency window A/C mounted thru the wall at one end.
To get to where I’m at in life I have worked doing various types of construction, including putting together metal buildings. One brand of those buildings is called Butler buildings. The roof is going to be made with the metal sheets used in that type building.
I do appreciate your input, it makes me think and re-think.
