Yeah.  It's about the size of my gun safe.

   I'd hate to try to squeeze out that loft window if the place was on fire . . .

That video has been making the rounds lately- interesting stuff. I'm thinking about building something very similar to haul up to my property in SC. I can put all my tools in it to get them up there, then live in it while I build. I just happen to have an old 12' trailer doin' nuthin', so I guess I should get busy! One question- what kind of roofing can I put on it that will hold up to 10 hours of 65 mile per hour wind?

Yeah... pro panel will work just fine.  Start with the "downwind" sheet first and lap your way upwind.  65mph is no big deal for roofs!
