Thanks. Says 2196 sqft seems small but then I have no idea anyway so
this gets me closer for ordering the 4ply when it's time.
Just a side comment, I priced 12" x 3/4 wedge bolts to attach my
header timber was told $ each! YIKES!

I just got a quoute on heavy timber trusses from a local company,
$ per ft! That's over $20k just to keep the roof up. Scissor
trusses are $ each and monos for the side $ each. Looks like
I am going with scissors.
