Jim,

I am trying to get the snow load, but trying to avoid talking to my town building inspector ( long story) should get this soon from someone else.

The frame is most likely going to be spruce, unless I manage to get my hands on some red oak or pine, but in my area, that is not so likely. Can I make braces out of white birch? How about pegs. Do you have any links to some resources for peg making. Are most people making them or buying them?
