yes i was going to “stick frame” as we call it here, bolt sill plate down and toe nail all the studs in place, than get staging or ladder and nail in top and double top plate, no need on getting a bunch of guys to stand a 32’ 12’ high wall

yea that’s what a buddy who frames said, as long as i’m getting a good 3.5 inches it’s fine, as it’s only a gable end, he said if i want to please the inspector i could put the odd piece of blocking the same size as overhang right to the floor to finish that bit of bearing

yes that was my plan anyway so i think it will work out good as i was going to run insulation up the side and z flash it

yea the only good part about is it’s fairly close to level, adding the sill gasket should hide the little roughness in it, ill probobly just patch the deep holes in the curb with whatever are local hardware store has witch i think is sakrete top and bond , than drill and bolt my sill plate on...

ok that brand product might be a little hard to find around here, but there might be something similar under a different name, and i striped the curb supports while they were finishing, thought they might get some of those areas, and pulled one leanth of the inside curb board and that’s when the...

yes lots of spruce trees and maples here, and lots of rock too lol, no someone else came and poured it

it’s all good i knew it was kind of bad, that must be why most guys around here want to do the curb pour on its own the next day, i thought it looked doable as a mono pour, so it’s half my fault doing it that way, what would be the best way to fix some of the chips out of it to smooth it out...

as of now i’m thinking on throwing some stright boards up and hand mixing some bags and get the back wall a little straighter, than maybe chock line and saw cut a notch out of the back so i can still overhang my plywood a half inch, or just make up some flashing so water doesn’t come in under...

yea the back wall ended up bowing out 2-3 inches, may be hard to tell by the picture, i ended up striping the top supports for the curb , hoping they would use some cream to fill in the holes, but it was pretty well too hard by than

Hey there, just had my garage slab poured yesterday, the slab turned out good but the 3.5x6”curb wall was a different story, there was quite a few imperfections and never got finished properly, the forms bowed out for one but i can deal with that, the issue i have is 1 form got pulled off to...

i believe that is the same size mesh as i’m referring to, 6 guage, and around were i am at i’ve never seen a garage with control joints, i don’t think that’s something they do here, just pour, float, screed and polish

yes i already doug the slab pad and added all the clear stone for a 28x32 and room for 3’ of foam board around for frost protection, but i might just make it a foot wider and have 2’ of foam around, just figured 28’ would work but the post would either be too close to wall or into the other bay

yes as most symmetrical lifts are 12’ front and 12’ rear of abstractions, i figured if i put it 13’6” from the door it should give me enough room
