What caused the roof to collapse? Fire? Snow load? It looks surprisingly good for having a roof come down on it.

Lots of great comments in this thread. I noticed two important things:

1) Several people remarked that there wasn't much demand and that's why we don't see such a thing, along with price issues....

Interesting story time? This has to be a good one.

Exactly! I have to keep a constant eye on the furnace in the winter and the dehumidifier in the summer otherwise disaster will strike. It's a constant struggle in the summer to reach 50% humidity...

Well, I learned something new today! How did you find this? Or were you already familiar with their product?

Considering all the colors that Cerakote is available in, it would certainly add some style to a few shops I'm sure. Though I wonder how many would object to such "outrageousness".

I wasn't even aware this was once available, interesting.

Yes, rust was my primary reason for asking. I realize in some places it's not much of an issue. In my area of Michigan the temperature and humidity swing around like crazy and one must be very...

Gotta admit, I'm a bit jealous of some of those bends!

Now this is gold right here. I probably wouldn't have even thought about it and just went with 7/8. I hadn't worked out in my head how to make some of those transitions and just though I'd figure...

Code should get interesting. This is a detached work shop. The local inspector tells me it gets categorized as an "agricultural building". He, obviously, was really concerned about the footing...

Tim,

Yes, I've learned this lesson several times over. As a matter of fact I actually went overboard once and did "glossy white"! Ever been in a shop that required sun glasses? I owned one,...

I'm currently in the process of building a 24' x 36' shop with 10' ceilings. The walls are 2" x 6" studs and the cavities are filled with cellulose insulation. The walls are covered in 1/2"...
