Awesome.

I've been trying to talk the Mrs. into
a "little" move for some time now.

It's not going well

Looks nice and clean. Are those 18" OH's on the gables?

Ainsworth OSB if I'm not mistaken. Loved using the studs they put out. Best I used ever.

BMC West, had them supply many of our frames in Seattle area.

I noticed your roof ply stock area. I always made myself a rough table. 3 vertical legs and 3 flat. Then you can put the ply flat and not have things sliding down the roof. In your situation there (6/12? 7/12?) I would cut 3 2x's@ 48" and 3-2x's@24" or 28", whichever pitch you got there. nail them down to the roof with a rafter or truss underneath. If you are nervous, then throw a kicker on it. I only put about half a bunk on them.
