Door is 7x16, walls are 9 foot, Gable end.

So I'm getting a 2 ply 9 1/2" LVL for the header on my overhead 16' foot garage door. I going with 3 jacks as recommended by the Lumberyard. However I saw mention somewhere that I should keep the whole 18 feet instead of cutting it 16' 9". If I did that, what would the framing look like? The...

Hardware store sent me ring shanked hot dipped galvanized 3 1/4" nails instead of smooth shank. Besides cost, any reasons I can't use those nails? Thanks Claude

Thanks for the question. Walls are 2x4x9 I wanted an extra foot to be able to move a sheet of plywood without denting the ceiling LOL Im using engineered trusses and I'll have 2 ply 9 1/2" LVLs for my garage door header I'll have heat using a 12K BTU Heat Pump and Obviously insulating walls...

Day six was more of the same. I kept adding conduits for my power and communication. I'm now 10 feet from the house and will handle backfilling on my own. I also want to keep that end open for inspection just in case. Forms are all finish and all spiked in with 6x6 and rebar all the way...

Thursday (Day 5) was busier. As they were laying out the forms, one of the guys dug my trench for the power. Good thing because they pulled some huge boulders that I couldn't have moved on my own. We put the conduits in through the slab for a clean finish.

I'm going with 9 feet walls

Ain't that the truth. I was telling the guy digging that for every scoop is was bringing up I felt money slipping out of my pocket LOL

Day 4 I wasn't home so couldn't do much got my Son to snap a few pictures before it got dark.

Day 3 they kept at it and the base started to take shape.

Day 2, they started filling in the whole with what they call 4/6. Its rocks from 4 to 6 inches. 3 loads were planned and they used 10 :willy_nil

Might as well start my own tread LOL I'm building at 24x24 detached garage on a monolithic slab. Been very frustrated with the delays of getting my building permit. Took 35 days pushing me back. As soon as I had my permit I contacted my contractor for the slab. Finally it all started last...

I'm wondering what is the proper way to transition from an LB on the outside of the house to the inside of my utility room where my Breaker Panel is. Can I use another LB and just turn it 90 degrees towards my breaker panel a couple of feet away? Thanks Here's where I'm at:

I'm in the same dilemma LOL I just posted a cad picture of mine today in my question. I notice your sketch is not quite accurate. If you leave your 2x6 full width, that's 5 1/2 minus your flat 2x6(1 1/2") that leaves you 1/2" sticking out on the outside. In my case I was thinking of just...

Hi everyone, My first question here, so go easy on me :-) I'm building a 24x24x10 with 2x4 on 16" studs. I've got just about everything figured out but the garage door framing. I'm using 2 ply 9 1/2" LVL for the Garage door header with 3 jacks on each side to hold it up. It comes in 18' so...

Reminds me of my late uncle who had a Diary farm :-)

Looking good

I have to move one as well very soon, will be following

Hi, in the process of building a 24x24 heated garage on a slab. Just got my building permit after waiting 35days. I'm having the slab poured by someone who knows what he's doing and will do the rest myself. Cheers, Claude
