Shed roof extension

Hi Gang. A few weeks ago, I had an extension built off my shed roof for a couple of reasons. Although I chose this style roof for the inside height, it caused me problems in the winter. If there was snow on the roof, it would melt during the day and freeze at night. This would cause an ice dam to form at the bottom of the doors. Well, it became a lot of work just to chip the ice away to get inside the shed. I'd think "great, I can't even get to my blower". Also, even during the warmer months if it was raining, you couldn't leave the doors open, because it would come right off the roof onto the doors. Not good. Anyway, it's remedied now. I also had the contractor put in a couple lofts and a work bench. It's 12x20, so I have enough room for the 2 tractors, snowblower, pushmower, wheelbarrow and then some. Another consideration for anyone in the market for a shed is location. Originally I had a couple spots in mind that were farther down in my backyard. One day while staring out the back patio door, I thought about how much fun it would be to trudge through a foot of snow all the way to the bottom of my yard. I finally decided on a good spot up close to the house and right off my deck. It's just so much easier to get things and to get rolling with the task at hand. Unless of course, you need a hiding spot from the spouse. LOL Anyway, if anyone out there is in the market for a shed, I hope this gives you a little food for thought. Kevin
