    Wrapped up this afternoon. Just 2 more gussets, a gutter and 2 more pieces of trim. A lot of work this weekend with really good friends. 001.JPG 002.JPG 003.JPG

    Looks like it can take a huge snow load; that is the way to build things. Great job!

    Looks like it will hold plenty of wood. It also looks like it will take a snow load. Good proximity to the house. Very good.

    Looks stout!

    That pine tree doesn't look to happy though? It doesn't appear to have many needles.
