big shop, big mess.

im a bugger for not keeping it tidy.

I am the same but to be fair I havent had my shop long and have been too busy enjoying it to think about making things tidy, have grandaughter carousel on the go, fixing up a rusty vw campervan and making a start on a power hacksaw.
With all that who has time to sweep up :lol:

I find it easier to keep big place organized. Whole lot more chance of finding a big strong storage selfing that can be fitted with sorage boxes (all sortted and labeled). When stuff is just piled up on the floor or table top it really monopolizes the whole room.

The problem comes when there is any vacant place and then it is used as "temporary storage" or any other use. We renovate one room at the time and one bedroom is doomed to be a "temporary storage" because I will not store any stuff into my gararage/shop anymore. We even got rid of some fourniture, because we ended up mooving them from one room into another one.

Good job! All my roofs are similar, including the house. Although in snow country, rafters are 2 x 12's and pitch is close to 9 in 12. But purlins 2 x 4's on flat just like yours.

One tip if someone else does similar job but on a more "utilitarian" building without facia and soffits -- use short sections of 2 by (with vents) as bird stops to space the outer ends of your rafters. Locate them under where a purlin will go. They don't have to be beveled but the corner should just touch the purlin. It's a lot easier putting those in before adding purlins and sheathing than fitting them after, and it helps space rafters evenly. Learned the hard way on my first shed .....  :)
