Looks good, good luck getting it all finished. 
Overkill is fun.....
First I thought I was doing it too flembsy...and I was...a night of deep thoughts and beer, and I redesigned the whole roof. Cut here...chop there, and viollllla.....
you should be able to park a truck on the roof....literally...and literally meant the same...it should take it. NE snow...if we get any...will weigh something like a ton per meter^3...so the bomb shelter...uhm....tool shed is almost done....
and more pics.... HELOC - REBUILD

i like how the door is just to the side of your garage
nicely planned
are you still on vacation or something?

why did you use pressure treated lumber for the roof, topplate, etc? No need to above the base structure. Also, no sheething to connect the base structure to the walls? You might get some water in there...
Lastly, I think thats the first time I've ever seen a 4x4 used as a top plate. lol
Looks good though, thus far.

i like the stones you're using. comin' along nicely.
and when it was too hot to work out side or raining.....we striped one of the bedrooms completely, and we are also tinkering with this....
and it cranked up yesterday and sounded good...still got to fab up the rad, and check for leaks...it might be on the road sat.

Dude, if ya wanted framing options for your shed you should have asked.
Bob is right. 1st. Only place u need pressure treated anything is when it lands on concrete. 2nd. 2x6 double top plate, single 2x6 bottom plate, double 2x for plywood breaks. 3rd.The ridge is usuall where ur stick frame is landing, not exactly where the rafters are butting. 4th. U might want to frame out ur gable ends for sheating and backing and such. .
If ya asked me, I could have easily saved ya a few bucks on lumber and time.
Otherwise, looks good, square, and plumb and definitely can handle a car.

if that thing is on the road when im on my way back up, we're going to run.
i just dont want you to be dissapointed
also, the shed looks great. more like a mansion, than a shed though.

The shed is 97.8% done.... just got to cap the walls off on the long sides and done...I already built a TireRack.com in it yesterday, and got most of the stuff moved in...later on I'll build a loft for more storage and stuff, then run electricity out there and plumb up an air system for the garage and the new shed.
The walkway is 90% done...just need about 20 more pavers, relevel a few areas that sunk, and start cuttin stones to fill in the bigger angles.
CRX is RUNNING....but still has a pesky oil leak....and needs a little more work.
As soon as I get this one little quirk with the landscapers from last year cleared up...then I can pull the other contractors in and get the rest of the house done. One more week, and a major clean-up...a few projects will actually be completed.
It's going to be awesome next year for motorsports....I still got to buy a truck and a trailer, but thats what the income tax return is for...hehe.
I back the truck up to the shed, toss tires, wheels, and track boxes into it, then back up to the trailer with a car on it, hook up...and go. Get back...drop of trailer in driveway, unload car, unhook trailer, back up to the shed, unload the old tires and tools...and chug a beer and pass out. Its going to be a long winter prepping the cars still...but I have more room in the garage to do the work.
