MrAmazing posted:There is at least one trail system in Jasper national park in Canada where the campground toilets are just rows of seats about 3 feet apart over very large buckets (that I assume they fly out). Backcountry campsites around here have "thunderboxes" which are essentially the same thing. No bucket though, just a hole. I assume once it fills up they dig a new hole. I prefer them to outhouses, smells don't collect as much when there's no structure around it.

Where is here? In my experience you only need to poo poo in 50 degrees and sideways rain once to want a roof. I might just be old and soft though…

Pretty much anywhere you would need to hike, paddle and probably fly in to get to.

I camp a lot but so far I've been able to avoid pooping in nasty weather. If it felt like the weekend wss trending that way I might put a tarp up over it.

Is there a fault line running through the build site? The only alternative I can think of is the architect's cat was being playful as that was being drawn.

I really want to know if that's crappy construction on top of a solid base, or if the frame is welded together bullshit. If yall aren't aware, you can drive a semi-truck in the US without any training or license or inspection if you slap an "RV" on top of it. Literally any 80 year old can drive around something that requires schooling and a commercial driver's license There's room for a loving car in the trunk:  octogenarians shouldn't be allowed to drive around commercial semi-trucks disguised as "RVs" without a commercial driver's license (or run the the political system)

Crookedness aside is the ridge not supposed to be a single long member too or am I misunderstanding what kind of construction this is

The ridge beam is a non-load-bearing tie to maintain alignment of all of the roof joists in stick construction. These are pre-fab trusses, so the spacers there are supposed to function the same (I'd temporarily add lengths of 2x4 across the trusses to hold alignment), at least until the sheathing is up.

I’m sure they cut them to the correct lengths though, and if you viewed the scene from 90 degrees to the side, those trusses would all be nice and vertical.

Yeah, for most roofs what's going on is that the roof assembly is a triangle that sits on top of the walls. Because it's a triangle, it has good strength, but the forces all pass through the corners of the triangle, so those need to be secure. It's not exactly easy to nail the two diagonal members of the triangle to each other at the ridge, end-to-end, so the ridge beam is there to help. In a vaulted roof, you can't do that kind of triangle because you don't have the roof joist (the horizontal beam). In that case, the ridge beam is load-bearing, and has to be supported by walls or columns at intervals.
