No big deal just a minor miscommunication.
Decision was oversized rafters on tight spacing with a ridge beam and collar tie.
We have a v high snowload, you can get away with less.
All that to say - we're working on a rafter design that meets snowload requirements without going to trusses.
I want the headroom, cost savings, and aesthetic that rafters offer but it turns out you can't just tell him "people built barns like this for 200 years"
