I've got a great set of solid old wooden stairs that I wouldn't mind hinging to the wall. I've been moving them around while rebuilding the wall, but now the wall is finished so time for a permanent spot.

Little more tension on the springs, some white paint on the walls and this will be done. I went into this with no hands on experience but feel kinda proud of accomplishing this, so much so I'm ready to tear down the next wall in, which is a support wall.

Has anyone made their stair runners fold over towards the wall to get the floor space back ?

Almost done with this project, I can see light at the end of the tunnel..lol

Why yes it is, just had a whole new chassis built, switched to straight axle and switching it to big block chevy.

I just moved this one so it's nice and clean in the first photo, the second photo shows how it normally is..lol

Some days I wish, at least the back pain would be over in a few days. I've had a lower back injury since 2005, that's why I only get a couple hrs. at a time in working.

Thanks, for never doing and carpentry work and building off the existing structure I'm happy with it. My great used garage door buy only came with one bracket that bolts the track to the wall so that foiled my plan to hang the door yesterday, before my epidural today. To be honest they are...

Sheeting and roof are done, took the false wall down and my wall is till up 😁

I don't have anything going on for thanksgiving so I finished framing everything in. Only thing left is sheeting it in plywood and hanging the garage door. I think tomorrow I'll remove the false wall !

I'm not sure what they are called, not torsion, they are the ones that hang along side the top track.

I did continue the double top plate across and added the cripples in line with the existing ceiling joists in back, my back had had enough for that day when I took the photo. I'm onto adding the ceiling joists, I brought them 1 ft + across the supporting wall on the back side. How much overhang...

I'm going to run 2 2x4's across the top of the wall, how do I attach the 2x6 ceiling joists to the doubled up 2x4s ?

Rookie mistake of making the door opening exact fit and square, the door doesn't want to go in arrgghhh !

On the garage door the size is 10 wide x 7 high, my plan is to make the opening 10x7, does the door fit inside the opening or on the back side of opening. Ive never seen a garage door in the raw per say without trim panels around it.
