Bouldering is not indoor climbing - height is completely irrelevant. Bouldering is always done with a jump height, there's a mat below and no rope. More important are overhangs and cleverly set routes that require interesting moves. Therefore, I would really put my bouldering cave under the roof, maybe add a few angles there so you have different inclinations in the overhang and rather do without an open roof truss. Or leave it open as a gag and maybe bring a climbing wall into the house with an open floor plan *g* - everything is possible and if the wife likes setting routes... You’ll probably get a campus board as a housewarming gift instead of bread and salt, right?
