Thanks guys.
The only issue with building the final roof is money.
Roof trusses, plywood, roofing, etc will add at least $15k to the project.
If I went that route, I would just put the 8' walls in place and tyvex the whole thing.
Rough estimate is about $25k to dry in the second story.
I have it, but wanted to spend it on a dock and boat ramp.
Priorities!

This is what I am leaning towards, but not sure why I would have to scrap the "deck". The deck would be a plywood floor with rolled roofing on top. Just the rolled roofing would have to be scrapped, the plywood should still be ok???
