Ken, I've built a couple of outbuildings on my lot in Berkeley using corrugated steel roofing, and I just used conventional rafters with purlins - 2x4's in one case, 3x6's in the other - running at right angles to, and on top of, the rafters to support the corrugated. Very easy to do, and the corrugated goes up way quicker than any other kind of roofing. Where in Tuolumne County are you? - I have an engineer friend who's building a rammed earth house in Strawberry. He found the building inspection department very easy to deal with, and he might be able to help you with getting strawbale to fly.
