Kent: Here are some building code considerations: The roof structure must be able to support the total load of a heavy snow on the roof. The typical design snow load requirement for a roof is 30lbs/sq.ft. The trusses on your roof look like they are 2 ft apart, so each truss must support a strip of roof 1 ft. on either side of it, multiplied by the length of the truss. I'll guess that at 20 ft. Thus each truss must support 2x20x30=1200 lbs. If you can support 1200 lbs hanging from the center of each truss, then your roof is strong enough. If your truss lengths or spacing are different, re-run the calculation with your numbers.

It still looks bad though, and any building inspector would flunk it.
