What is the cost to span a distance 36' from one perimeter wall to the other? BTY I want to build with 2x6 studs so I should be able to build 24" on center. This would be for a small Desert home. I want a garage too. And that would be 24' wide and 36' deep (it will have a workshop / storage in the back of the garage. So just a continuation of the trusses all across the length of the home and garage? 36 + 24 = 60 feet, all of it 36' deep. And the last truss that's parallel to the perimeter wall, is that made of thicker wood at the rafters, so that there can be lookouts installed? anyway, at 60 feet that's 30 trusses. What is the cost of a truss spanning 36'? This is for a desert area home, in east San Diego County, CA. (I'd build a flat roof if the county would let me, but maybe that would be just as expensive in the long run?) I'd really like to know what is the cheapest, cheapest way to build a home. I figure 2X6 24" on center is the cheapest way to build and meet R values mandated in California. Anyone out there have any ideas for me? I was also thinking about a concrete block home, but that seems like it's just as much work in the long run.
