I might consider using the 2x6s for the roof joists, as for a permit I am 10 miles from the closest city limits. And yes I am using 10' decking. The reason for using the chainsaw is because I usually don't cut the 4x4s until I am ready to nail down the 1x4s across the roof. Then I trim them flush. Whats your opinion on the 2x6s for the subflooring? It will be the first time I have used anything smaller than a 2x8.

I took a construction class in high school from one of the local construction guys (was worth credit so I figured what the heck) and I had already helped my relatives build just about everything around. One thing about our structures once they are built they stay built. No flimsy nothing with this bunch. (Some of my great grandfathers stuff is still standing and still solid and over fifty years old)

Shooting bench? I am a redneck I just shoot off the rail

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
