This old man has gone clear nuts
Thanks, "that stuff" is quite the backstory. It is some sort of "part of a warehouse shelving" system, they bought too much built the warehouse, and all this was left over. I paid a fair amount for it. It's nominal 2"X2"x 8 ft plus or minus. I pulled it home back when I had the 86 Ranger, (2.9V6) and it would barely move!!! It was all on pallets, I didn't know what I had. There was bill of lading on each pallet, I added it all up SEVENTY NINE HUNDRED POUNDS. This is not counting the weight of the trailer and probably another 500 lbs of rigging and junk in the trailer. I've built this shed and the front car port out of it
Building the front port, and the Ranger in question. Both ports use 36" stud spacing. This one the upper and lower horizontals of the trusses I "scab spliced" and as you can see triangulated them
I've never shoveled it............
Starting the rear one, the one discussed above... The studs and the rafters are full length pieces of this material, the horizontal joists are spliced. They are what I doubled for this project. All this one done "one man." Used the farmall and front loader to set them in place.
Long before I shedded it in......Part of the sides are roofing, the lower part of the sides and the end doors are made of floor panning used in high rises. They lay that panning down, and pour concrete floors in them.
