                Put a temporary "stiff leg" post in the middle of your floor & let it hold up the rafters until you get them screwed together. When the rafters are all in place & screwed to each other, take the post out.

                I really love using 3 1/2 in screws in the rafters. Also, make it just a little (maybe 6 inches higher than you planned for head clearance & put a piece of octagonal plywood on the bottom of your rafters. Then you screw up thru the plywood into the bottom edge of the rafters & it helps tie it all together.

                Good looking start!!! Keep the photos coming!
