Setting some trusses

[Diggin It]

Metal roof being ordered today.

What did you pay per linear foot? Last I bought was about $1.80 or so for the standard 5 rib, but that was a couple of years back. I need more before Spring, but I haven't priced it yet after the steel mess.

I paid $2.88 a linear foot. Don't forget all the other trim/screws that completes the job, that'll boost the final price tag. I live in Washington state, so on top of high construction costs, add another 10% for state/local taxes (They can never have enough taxes here).

Yeah, I think I was paying around $20 bag for screws. Then the valleys and caps ...

$$$

Why did you weld to the side of the container instead of resting the beams on top of the container and then welding them in place there?

We used 20’ 8 inch purlin. Fit perfect in the space. We welded Clips to the containers to hold the purlin..
Again... On a poor boy budget...
