Thanks all. One of the few construction related projects ive never done is installing a roof so I had no idea what I was doing. And I tend to make things more complicated than they need to be. Instead of laying the purlins over the rafters like in aarts picture I was going to cut crossbeams so they fit flush between the rafters and the sheer amount of measuring and cutting had me wanting to throw in the towel. I figured out that I was being an idiot just prior to reading all these responses. Still, the amount of lumber I need for purlins has me slightly regretting going with such a large build. I picked up another 25 2x4s the other day and said to myself "surely this will be enough to finish" and by my math I'm gonna need another 25.
Lol... This was supposed to be a small little lean-to style coop that would take me maybe a week to complete with a budget of $400. It turned into a 240 square foot barn with a 60 square foot hay loft that I'm 3 weeks worth of 8 hour days into building and has about $1600 spent on it so far.
