Enough Ventilation?

Good stuff but I don't know as it would help much with a lightening strike

A friend (not a close one) carrying a golf club? I tend to not worry about lightning, the probability of getting struck is pretty low. Rubber boots would help too.

HA!!! I'll give my brother the golf club I guess I'm not as brave as you... plus having everything get wet while we're building would really suck, we have a real problem with mold, mildew and rot around here....it will get done eventually, everything around here does, it just takes awhile

I'm actually made of sugar too, don't like the rain. But instead of lightning, I tend to worry about using power tools that are plugged in during heavy rainfall. A bit of rain usually dries off, just don't paint it before it's dry.

I read about a guy who has been struck by lightning eight times during his life. Wouldn't want him as a building buddy.

My opinion, never too big or too much ventilation.
As long as you keep drafts out in colder weather, they will be fine.
I would definitely keep the eaves open to allow the humid air an escape in the winter months.
