Ya that was grout splatter from overfilling cell when I built it lol made a mess on some

Here’s some photos

Hey all. Got a random question on newish block foundation. 2 years old and getting very tiny shrinkage cracks in some mortar joints which I would imagine will happen. Nothing moving or anything. Just wondering for you guys that have block foundation, do you ever go around and tuck point any of...

Yep they all landed on same rafter. I got it sorted out by making sure the new ones are staggered thanks again everyone

Thanks guys! I ended up doubling purlins with screws and made sure to only fasten roof to those outlines. Other are along for ride. Basically I went and got 16 footers to stagger to next rafter so there not on same rafter for the joints. Just got roof on and corner trim

What if I were to lay another row of purlins right beside those and make sure there different offsets? Either right beside other ones or split the difference and do 1 foot spacing. I’d use construction screws and only screw the prorib down to those purlins?

Well guys here’s another issue I’m having. DIY and learning as I go from my mistakes…. Framed up my lean to this week. Got a lot done. Only to realize your suppose to stagger purlins? Will be prorib roof I was hoping to put on tomorrow. Rafters are 2x12 on 2 foot centers. Purlins are on flat...

I would have to buy from place that we sourced for the house to match. I think I’m gonna leave it alone

I have 2 pieces left. The overhead door seals perfectly

Thanks guys I appreciate the feedback!

Bottom plate is 3 inch hot dipped with framing nailer to 2x8 mud seal plate. Layed on new block foundation that both perfectl Bottom plate is nailed with 3 inch hot dipped from framing nailer to 2x8 mud seal on top of new block foundation. Foundation are both square and level. Once you get...

The amount of labor would be a ton. Would have to pull siding and sheeting around that corner. Cut nails that go to seal plate and come along/winch bottom to the right and hope nothing else moves or messes up. It’s my first garage build and overall I’m happy with it just ***** when you built...

Everything functions perfectly. No safety concerns. It’s just that one corner to the left of the overhead. You can kinda see it’s out of plumb. Plumb bob at 9 foot is around 1-1.25 inches out everything else is dead on
