...interesting thought on the lam beam. I can't believe that a lam beam stretching 42 or 44' won't be absolutely monstrous in size. Do I get you right on this? Stretch one (or a bonded pair) of lam beams the entire distance without mid-support?

I'm on board with the "X" open floor trusses for ease of utility installation. Menards works directly with a truss manufacturer (probably owns them). I am corresponding with them on both the floor trusses and the roof trusses.
