The world's largest indoor ski area is SnowWorld Landgraaf, the Netherlands (opened 2001) with a total of 35,000 m² of snow. In 2003, the first indoor snowboard FIS WorldCup contest was held in SnowWorld Landgraaf. The world's longest indoor slope with 640 m is in the AlpinCenter in Bottrop/Germany and the world's first indoor black diamond (difficulty rating) with a 31 percent grade is in the SnowFunPark in Wittenburg/Germany. In November 2007 Chill Factore in Manchester, UK opened making it the worlds widest slope at 100m wide at the bottom. In spring 2008 construction started on a fourth 500 metre ski slope at SnowWorld Zoetermeer, The Netherlands. After completion SnowWorld Zoetermeer will be, once again, the largest indoor ski area in the world. From Wikipedia

What is max height of post and beam construction?
The maximum height depends on many factors like the snow load, the wind load, the size of the building, etc. Typically residential post and beam frames can be three stories or more. Commercial frames can go 60 or 70 feet or higher.
Wood or steel beam to support a roof ceiling or floor?
There are two criteria for making the decision. 1) How much weight is the beam carrying. Wood beams look great and can carry most residential loads. Commercial buildings often use steel beams to carry the snow wind and floor loads, but heavy timber can also do the trick. 2) How should the wood or steel beam look? If the building is prettier using wood, that might be the way to go. If steel looks better - use steel. Sometimes a combination of wood and steel is perfect.
Difference between flat roof and pitch roof?
Roofs may be functionally flat or "pitched". In building construction, roof pitch is a numerical measure of the steepness of a roof. A flat roof on the otherhand, is a roof which is almost level in contrast to the many types of sloped roofs. The slope of a roof is properly known as its pitch and flat roofs have up to approximately 10°. If you have a flat roof, there is probably a leak in it or there will be a need for a flat roof repairs in the future.
What should i choose asphalt or concrete for my entrée de garage(driveway)?
We have had both. Concrete tends to look better and hold up longer, but the surface stones can pop out and the concrete can crack. It is more expensive to install than concrete. We paid additional for a formula that would have fewer surface pops. New asphalt driveways look nice, too. There are pros and cons to sealing them every year. Sealants give the driveway a new look but don't necessarily prolong the life of the driveway. The surface of an asphalt driveway can become uneven and will crack. Tire pivot points will wear and tire depressions will form where vehicles are regularly parked. The dark color can be a heat sink due to sun exposure and can actually soften with the heat That can be a negative during a hot summer, but our south-facing asphalt driveway seemed to finish snow removal jobs by melting whatever remained. Asphalt is less expensive, but generally needs to be replaced more often than concrete. Some folks have gone to using paving bricks in driveways. That looks nice, but you have to fight weeks growing in the cracks and it makes for a noisy and bumpy ride for anything wheeled across it. (think wheeled garbage bins or luggage). Whichever driveway you choose, you need to do your homework on the proper installation and watch that your contractor adheres to those parameters. Also check the contractor's guarantees and reputation. We had to take one contractor to court because an asphalt driveway was installed cold and didn't last a year.
How do you secure purlins to the roof truss?
If you are using treated lumber (pergola etc...) you need to use fasteners that are treated coated or stainless. The fasteners should be applied in pairs at each truss, top and bottom. I recommend screws, particularly in treated wood, that are twice the thickness of the purlin. ( If the purlin is 2 inches thick, use 4 inch fasteners with a minimum of 1 inch piercing into the rafters) If you live in a snowy climate, the fasteners may be subject to shearing loads that preclude the exclusive use of screws for decked or roofed spaces. In that case, you would use hot dipped ring shank nails and use screws on the ends, seams, and every third rafter, to eliminate warpage from pulling the nails out out of the rafters. If you are applying purlins over decking, mark the rafters and use a fastener that is sufficient to pierce 1inch minimum into the rafter. Once again, use dipped treated or stainless fasteners for treated lumber and it might be preferable to use them as insurance in any case. In all cases, it would be best to use local code as your guide and to make sure that your work meets building codes. Checking with the local code enforcement inspectors is a good idea and there are often conditions that require a more stringent standard than the usual, such as high wind or snow loads. Finally, if you are applying a roofing product, chances are that there is information to be had on their website and any forums for the product. It is usually a good practice to build to the highest standard, rather than to suffer the failure of your roof or project.
