Didn't want to hijack Dengieboy's drift kart post, even though he brought up sheds.
So, the pics are "before and after" of a derelict 40'x24' shed on my property. When I moved here last year, the shed was surrounded by tumbleweeds and junk. The roof had caved in from the weight of snow. None of the doors would work, all stuck. I jacked up the roof, using 4x4s and 6x6 posts, a floor jack, and a few boards under the posts. Built a new truss beam under the roof ridge, and welded up a steel truss to reinforce the (now) 30 foot free span. The doors on the 30 foot section are recycled garage door panels set vertical and hinged so they fold up accordion style to make the entire 30 foot span open. There is a method to this madness: I build aircraft, and I wanted a home hangar, and one of the aircraft has a 29 foot wingspan. The other one has wings that fold (by design), so it resides in the left bay, on the west end of the free span section. I've not yet moved the wide plane from the airport yet, because there is a KART being rebuilt in there. So anyway, that's my main workshop.
