The ones I've seen around here all have the continuous top plate and I thought I would try that out since I can get 40 foot long pine top plates with a 10X10 cross section without any problems (not sure of the sizing exactly that I would use at this point). I was going to use gin poles to raise it but I would need some help.
Can you describe to me what a CG system looks like? That sounds like it might be easier and less risky building and raising.
Thanks,
Steve.
