That sounds great. Thanks for the information.

I currently have concrete block walls high enough that when the concrete floor pad is poured and that when the trusses were set on the block walls then I would have 8 foot high interior walls/ceiling. I was thinking about hanging the air exchanger(?) and duct work under the trusses. If I went up...

Looks really great. Thanks for the pictures.
