A building comprises a side wall defining a storage space within the sidewall confines, a roof supported above the storage space, and a pair of gables above the sidewall and at opposite ends of the roof. At least one truss is disposed between the gables and adapted to support the roof and has at least one tool handle opening. In a part of the building separate from the truss is disposed at least one additional receiver generally across from the tool handle opening. The tool handle opening and the receiver are spaced apart and adapted to each receive the handle of a long handled tool and support the long handled tool above the storage space.

I claim: 1. A building comprising: a side wall defining a storage space; a roof supported above the storage space; and a truss supporting the roof, the truss having at least one tool handle opening; wherein the truss comprises a first section and a second section, the first section including a pocket with a plate and pocket sidewalls extending away from the plate, and the second section including a plug portion with a second plate and plug sidewalls, wherein the first section and the second section are fastened together such that at least one of the pocket sidewalls passes into the plug portion and at least one of the plug sidewalls bears on one of the pocket sidewalls to resist rotation of the first section relative to the second section; the plug portion further comprising an open lip, the pocket further comprising a hollow boss, wherein the hollow boss is disposed inside the open lip. 2. The building of claim 1, further comprising a second truss supporting the roof. 3. The building of claim 2, the second truss further comprising a second tool handle opening. 4. The building of claim 3, wherein the second tool handle opening is substantially at the same elevation as the first tool handle opening of the first truss. 5. The building of claim 3, wherein the tool handle opening of the first truss is higher in elevation than the second tool handle opening of the second truss. 6. The building of claim 3, wherein the tool handle of the first truss is larger than the tool handle opening of the second truss. 7. The building of claim 1, the truss further comprising a plurality of tool handle openings. 8. The building of claim 1, wherein the tool handle opening is round with radiused edges. 9. The building of claim 1, the truss further comprising: a panel; a first support side and a second support side each on a top side of the panel and each adapted to support the roof, the first support side and the second support side meeting at an apex and defining an angle less than or equal to 180 degrees; and a first base side and a second base side each on a bottom side of the panel, the first base side and the first support side defining a first acute angle, the second base side and the second support side defining a second acute angle, and the first base side and the second base side meeting at a base vertex and defining an angle greater than 180 degrees. 10. The building of claim 9, the truss further comprising a plurality of ribs adapted to increase the strength of the truss. 11. The building of claim 10, the truss further comprising a plurality of tool handle openings interspersed between the ribs. 12. The building of claim 9, the truss further comprising a hook adapted to suspend flexible objects. 13. The building of claim 1, the truss further comprising a pair of blocks extending from the bottom side of the truss, the blocks adapted to engage the sidewall of a building to secure the truss to the building. 14. A building comprising: a side wall defining a storage space; a roof supported above the storage space; a truss supporting the roof, the truss having at least one tool handle opening; the truss further including a first support side and a second support side each on a top side of the truss and each adapted to support the roof, the first support side and the second support side meeting at an apex and defining an angle less than or equal to 180 degrees, the truss further including a first base side and a second base side each on a bottom side of the truss, the first base side and the first support side defining a first acute angle, the second base side and the second support side defining a second acute angle, and the first base side and the second base side meeting at a base vertex and defining an angle greater than 180 degrees, the first support side of the truss including a flange, the flange including a pair of guides extending upward along the entire length of the first support side to define a channel adapted to conduit rainwater; at least one receiver disposed generally across from the tool handle opening and provided in a part of the building separate from the truss; wherein the tool handle opening and the receiver are spaced apart and adapted to each receive the handle of a long handled tool and support the long handled tool above the storage space. 15. The building of claim 14, the truss further comprising a detent extending out from one of the guides adapted to engage a roof panel to secure a roof panel to the truss. 16. A building comprising: a side wall defining a storage space; a roof supported above the storage space; a truss supporting the roof, the truss having at least one tool handle opening; and at least one receiver disposed generally across from the tool handle opening and provided in a part of the building separate from the truss; wherein the tool handle opening and the receiver are spaced apart and adapted to each receive the handle of a long handled tool and support the long handled tool above the storage space; and wherein the truss comprises a first section and a second section, the first section including a pocket with a plate, pocket sidewalls extending away from the plate, and a hollow boss, the second section including a plug with a second plate, plug sidewalls, and an open lip, wherein the first section and the second section are fastened together by fastening the first plate to the second plate with the hollow boss disposed inside the open lip and the plug sidewalls bearing on the pocket sidewalls to resist rotation of the first section relative to the second section.
