Here's a build thread of a different sort, my new add on carport. Going to be 22' wide by 39' long, was going to be 24x40 but had to cut it down a bit. I'll skip the clean up, but that took a couple of Saturdays, lots of junk got piled up and had to be moved. Last week, went and got my posts, using 6x6 for the corners and 4x4 in the center. First thing though, I had to replace the posts under the current carport. I put them in about 25 years ago, and one had rotted off about 4", causing the roof to sag. Never noticed it until the metal roof went on, then it stuck out like a sore thumb! Anyways, used my engine crane to do the lifting, worked out great! Next weekend I hope to start setting the other posts.

Stringline is roof footprint, actual building will be 1' smaller.
