Yep tough on an old guy I can tell you that. I'm one that hates to see something to be done and not doing it. But Law you are right.

I feel your pain I spent the last month putting the fur shed back together some days are worse than others. Ladder days are tough on the legs/feet cutting the metal siding kills the hands. Heading out to set up for elk next month later this week I hope the weather cooperates archery elk is on my bucket list.

That roof's pretty flat, how much of a snow load do you think it will handle?

Yep it is 16 inch rise. It is in the open no timber right here but yes we get snow. It is built with 4x5 timbers so not concerned and wind will take a lot off where it is at.

If the roof is open it will stay blown off pretty much. Snow seldom falls down in MT and ND. It travels sideways. Sideways snow does not build on a open roof.

I doubt I have any issues and if I do I install more cross bracing inside. This will be the finished product inside the shack. No insulation all open, what you see is about what it will look like.

MJM has it right it will blow off 90% of the time. No heat inside 24 hours a day so sticking to tin roof isn't going to be a problem.

Coming right along now. The picture is dated from where the project is at now. I have chalking, door to install and stove chimney to do on roof yet. I used cedar for the siding and is nothing special very simple and rough and will be only used a half dozen times a year.

Looks like it'll be a great place to get out of the weather when running your line.

Just got odds and ends to do and most of them I will do at a later time. I still have door to install, my son has a door from his garage he replaced just need to get it at some time. Installed stove yesterday and a friend asked me yesterday if I wanted flooring, they are 2x2' squares and some nice stuff. I will lay that down anytime later. Chalking and a few screws to install today than I can get on with other thing. I will plant alfalfa/sainfoin mix tomorrow for hay crop.
