For neat fab parts I like these guys. Check out the "fold your own" mustang II crossmembers at the bottom. http://www.welderseries.com/blog/online-store/ http://www.welderseries.com/blog/online-store/category/tabs/ http://www.welderseries.com/blog/online-store/category/front-suspension/

I would go after this a different way. You are building that big garage for your family. She will know where you are working, you and your kids will be right outside the house working on projects if she needs your help with something, etc. It costs very little more to build it right versus...

How about this idea if you have 5-6 clamps at home. Make your own with standard 2x4's at 1.5" thick each, so 18 would equal your thickness of 27". at $2 each, that is about $40-45 including glue and a disposable roller to spread it for a 27" x 96" x 3.5" thick section. If the 2x4's are...

Any thought to putting some type of roll up or sliding door in that opening and having one side "warmer" than the other one?

Fleet Farm in hudson WI had them on sale for $899 this week if I remember correctly. I looked at it, and it seemed a bit hokey looking to me.

I would like to see pics also. I have a used cff-70 that I am planning to install this summer.

Thanks for the response, and yes, you are probably right that I am contemplating being lazy by not taping it. The ceiling is parallel chord trusses on a 10/12 pitch, so it is tall and uncomfortable to mud and tape. Also, only the back 22x24 feet will be heated, I should have mentioned that...

Has anyone sheet rocked their unheated garage, used latex caulk on the seams, and painted it. I am planning a 24x42 detached garage in MN, which will be heated about 1 day a week on average with a hanging heater. Summer temp, 100F or so, winter temps, down to -20F. With the large temperature...

I am about to build a 24x42 stick framed garage, with a 10/12 roof pitch, and in my sketches it looks like a single 36"x48" single hung window placed in the center of the front of the garage, 2 feet from the upstairs floor "minimizes" the open space on the front of the garage visually. Does...

If you want quiet, you want electric baseboard heaters with a wall thermostat (and a ceiling fan to circulate the air.). I have a 7.5kw electric modine unit heater in the ceiling of my garage, and it is loud, but it will heat a 22x22 space to 70 degrees when it is 10 degrees f outside.

On the two hoists I have helped to install what you are describing would work fine. The stop switch needs to be mounted below the ceiling level, but it would not be too hard to make brackets to do this.

Do the trusses in the garage go the correct way to put the top part of the hoist between two trusses? If so, you can save 6" of usable space by doing that. If you lower the safety switch 12", then you are good to go. You lose one foot of lifting space, but I think that is a good compromise...

Check Target now, I just bought the 129 gallon suncast on clearance for $59. It is about 50% off, and seems nice. 5 minute assembly, and my wife is happy.

Back to the top. Can anyone show me the interior of a rafter or Parallel chord truss garage 24' wide with a hoist in it?

Or, look into vaulted parallel chord trusses. http://www.trulinetruss.com/html/body_roof_truss.html

Does anyone have a picture of the inside of a garage like I am planning on building they could share with me? The garage will be 24' wide and 42' long, with 8' high sidewalls on a 8" course of block, with a 10/12 roof pitch, and parallel chord trusses about 12" tall. The trusses will span the...
