Finally sticking head above the parapet.....

Hi everyone.  I guess I’ve been lurking around the forum for almost as long as I’ve been scheming my-self build project.  A long-held dream of a reasonably sized wrap-around extension - about 125m2 on the ground floor and 70m2 on the first floor, with large open spaces, large glazed openings, and vaulted ceilings.  And now that I have planning permission, I am attempting to develop the design for a structural steel frame with Larsen truss type walls and ceilings.  Only that this does not appear to be common, and maybe ultimately, it’ll prove not to be viable.  But I’ll have fun learning….and trying.  Regardless, I’m grateful to all those knowledgeable people that post here. Lots to think about.
