To all, apologies, thought you were looking for truss designs. Instead of details for yours specifically;)

Heres few more completed inside. It gives about 11' high at the top.

So here is my 24x44 garage with gambrel trusses. 1000 sq' loft space above. After the 1st floor was completed the truss company dropped them right on to the subfloor. They are a 2 piece design with a nailing plate to join them. They are attached with a joist hanger lying horizontal for the...

Have done lots of T&G pine on interior walls including my garage wood shop. Water based poly is what I use on everything. Easy to apply,dries fast, quite tough. Pick your finish, satin,semi or high gloss.

A more realistic price in Ontario is .16 to .18 kwh. With delivery, monthly fee etc. Sure my rate is around .08 to .09 kwh for my first 1000. But delivery alone doubles it. So my Nov invoice was $115 . I used about 650 kwh. The math is pretty simple.

Installed a senville 24 k a out 7 years ago in 1000 Sq ' loft space above my garage. Extremely well insulated gambrel design. Not the primary heat source. It heats and cools quite well . Below freezing heats well. Did the install myself. No issues.

My neighbor just replaced his only 12 yr old generac with Kohler. It sounds like a Mac truck very loud. I know, just finished running 8 days straight. We were in the path of that big storm that went through ontario. My neighbor on the other side just put in a Briggs and Stratton, nice and...

Vapour barrier always goes on the warm/ interior. Extra insulation on the exterior is fine too. It's still pretty standard here. Of course with closed cell spray foam, no need for vapour barrier, it provides it. Open cell foam, still needs a 6 mil vapour barrier. Recently this also what the...

As canuck said and a fellow canuck 6 mil vapour is standard code. Vapour barriers, 6 mil plastic is kinda a misnomer. It's not so much to stop vapour but vapour creation caused by air leakage. Warm interior walls and ceilings are sealed with 6 mil, tuck tape, caulking, spray foam etc...

After reading this entire thread I was thinking like everyone else, just keep it as you have it now. If your wire is 6cu, sure your 60 Amp breaker will protect everything. But in reverse what if someone sees the 100 Amp in the garage and thinks they have 2cu going out and replaces 60amp...

With any copper fitting, washer, flared I always torque it down, then back it off and then retorque. That how I wash showed way back and always do it that way. " crush" the fitting first . Did my Senville mini split that was precharged 6 years ago . Still working perfectly.

I just used lag bolts through the siding. Could have used washers to space it but it worked well.

My 44' gambrel roof line garage i avoided gutters. I live in a very treed area. I have large overhangs. My slope away from the foundation is good. To avoid spashing from rain and melt, I put a generous layer of wood chips. (I chip my own). Also keeps it nice and clean an weed free. I do have a...
