46’x60’ is the total size of the flat surface area of the ground that I cut out of the hillside. The joists that I have are only 40’. I figured I would need at least 3’ on each side to dig out for piers to hold the weight, hence the width of 46’. If I go with a 40’ deep building that will give me a 20’ entrance in the front. So this is my plan for the construction method for the roof. Basically build a super HD carport and then pour a slab inside and add block walls. The main support would come from the columns and steel structure but the block walls would be additional support. Again, I’m certainly no engineer, and I’d like to hear whatever your opinion is. Especially you guys with heavy construction experience. You know who you are!
