I don't care about your crazy freezing temps, it is gonna get 5 degrees here, yall nuts up North ask for it... I didn't, take that junk back North. I don't want two days below freezing... I still have single pane windows for goodness sakes, and I don't like wrapping my water outside with all kinds of Styrofoam trinkets that don't fit worth a hoot. I have to leave my faucets leaking (and I am leaky enough as I am). The animals don't like going outside to use the restroom. I have to keep the fireplace primed ultra max to keep the house above 65 degree... Yall just take it in stride, like it is no big deal... if this keeps up, I am gonna ask the college boy to send back the electric blankets we loaned him.

Aw c'mon now
@Sighlass ... If y'all were up in here all that would be different of a necessity.
I keep watching folks down by you on the yootube putting up a loafing shed... Every time, the header on a leanto is a single 2x6 nailed into the posts... with at least a 12' span. Up in here that'd be a 4x8x12 slam-lam, glued and screwed, with plywood separators to bring it out full... And there would be a post in the middle and that header would be sitting ON TOP of the posts. Because otherwise you'd just be building it again in the spring.
Not so much different I guess... but different where it counts.
This ol mountain wolf has been wading in frozen creeks so long that I've got icy clear water running in my veins. Cold don't bother me none.
Put me down there by you in the middle of summer with 98% humidity and triple digits, I'd be likely to curl up and die on the first day.
Different strokes and all.
