I want to add a 12 X 27 raised foundation addition. The rafters will attach to the existing structure and go out 12' . I can't afford to hire help and I can only work on it on weekends. I won't be able to put in the sub floor, frame the walls, and install the metal roof in a timely manner. I'm worried my sub floor and walls will get rained on before I can install the roof.
Would it make sense to put a few posts just outside where my floor will end, 12' from the existing house. Install a 27' beam to support the other end of the rafters and roof on ala pole barn fashion. Then work under the roof, building the floor and walls. After the back wall is up, remove the original posts and beam with the rafters now supported by the back wall.
Any advice? Thanks!
