Good for you.

Just curious-—do you get heavy snow and/or ice in your area?

Yes. But not so much that you have to be paranoid about it regarding slope. A lot of trees were badly damaged a few years ago by a really nasty ice storm. Same thing happened a couple of decades ago in Seattle when I lived there.

In Seattle I actually had to use a hammer to break round holes in the roof of my carport. An 8” ice ridge had built up on the edge. The amount of water that poured out was frightening. I can’t believe it held up, especially considering how fragile it appeared.

I over-design everything I build here. We don’t need permits for anything, even a house.
