Open span and rated for 110lps live load. There aint no flex in that baby!

A very important part of this build is the main supports for the long span ridge beam. While I REALLY wanted a two point supported ridge beam.. it just really wasn't possible. So I went with a three point ridge.
Problem is that there were no structural wood posts that would support the load I needed over 18 ft tall (without getting so large that the cost would exceed the benefit.
So.. In comes METAL!

Anyone want to take a guess how that ridge beam was put up there? Unfortunately to my pocketbook it wasn't done with just my labor
. But is was level enough the crane driver gave me $100 back for how easy it was getting in!
