New garage is almost finished, yet the garage doors have been on order for 3 1/2 months, one interior door on order for 3 months, gutters are supposed to be installed Friday the 16th but I'm not holding my breath, and now the painter can't find paint. I'm just ready for this garage to be...

I went with 15 of these. https://www.primelights.com/collections/stingray/products/led-4-lamp-t8-stingray-4xl-highbay-fixture-88-watt-clear-pl-4srhbld88fm They're not installed yet but hopefully soon!

Thanks!

Thank you Woffski!

Installed some barn lights today. Still waiting on garage doors...

I think I need some high bay lights. I'm at a loss as to how many and what kind of fixture to get. Area to be covered is 36' x 48', 17'+ to the flat part of the truss, 10' wall with a 5.5 pitch. This will be sheet rock ceiling painted white. I'm thinking 3 rows of 5 lights each. This is the...

33 scissor trusses for my garage, 36' span 1' overhang, $10K.

Was a beautiful day to frame! Hoping to have shingles on end of week. :) Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

Thanks! I'm over hear near Myrtle Beach.

Thanks! What model backhoe do you have? I'm getting the BH77 if it ever shows up to the dealer, and I'm not sure the hydraulic thumb option is available. Yes, I'm trying to decide now between the regular style 3 point QA or going with the "Pat's" QA just on the lower links.

Re: Anybody else not doing projects due to cost of lumber? I'm pulling scraps out of the trash container as the framers throw it in on my garage build. Getting some small project lumber. The stuff they toss... I have some 6' 2x12's, 2x10's and couple 8' 2x6's, but most stuff is in the 36" and...

Thank you! Not expecting any turbulence, should be a smooth ride here on out. :)

What's funny about this is when the guy was unloading them off the truck, I was thinking to myself, damn those are some nice 2x4's! no edge bark or knot holes falling out of the stud. Little did I realize it was scrap wood in disguise! I wonder if I can get credit by sending my build scraps...

Thanks! Yeah, the FJ 2x4's was the only lumber that was finger joint, the rest were solid yellow pine 2x6's and up, well the sole plate was solid 2x4 pressure treated, so that was good. lol

I have trusses on the building![emoji16] Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

The wall they were going to be used for would have been carrying the full weight of a 2x10 floor joist and rim joist with 3/4" advantech subfloor specifically for storage. I just didn't feel good about the FJ 2x4 being used for that purpose. They may have been fine that purpose, although, I...

Today is day 2 of the framing. This is being balloon framed because of the trusses. Some big ole headers on the lean-to. They used dbl 2x12’s. I think it’s WAY over engineered, but it should be stout! If it doesn’t rain tomorrow, they will be setting the trusses! [emoji846] Sent from my...

Lol, yep! Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

I don't know the cost on these but I will try and find out. As far as electrical and plumbing runs, my guess is the hole size would fall under the same requirement as regular studs and also be allowed in the joint. The different joint locations on each stud would make a pretty stupid line...

Oh yeah, here is the stamp I overlooked. No clue on the rating. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app
