And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

Indeed, Scott, and I firmly believe that. Obtaining this property has manifested His mysterious ways in more than just owing both sides of beautiful trout stream and creating a legacy to pass on. There are no coincidences.
Rob, if you add knee walls notch them through the floor system and sink the post deep or they will spread. Downward pressure becomes outward pressure with a roof system. Ridge also needs posted and a heavy beam.
Not a useful design.....unless you live somewhere like Tahoe. Where right now some houses have snow piled up higher than the eaves and if you don't snowblow the flat roofs they WILL collapse.
The "wasted space" in steeply pitched roof homes is an excellent place to serve as chases for running ductwork, piping, and wiring, and also storage for stuff like christmas decorations. Turn an obstacle into an opportunity.

I built an "A" frame brooder house (8x8), learned my lesson! I'd put knee walls on next time.
