My welders and PC stay unplugged unless in use, but may not in the new shop. I may check these out and start keeping an eye out for one. Thanks. For my building area I meet R602.3.1 Exception 2. <25lb/sqft Snow load and <130mph wind speeds which allows for up to 18ft. Based on my reading, I...

Thanks, its been months (going on 2nd year now I bet!) in the planning I'm on previous farm land from what people tell me. Not far to get to undisturbed soil and I dont have a single tree in my lot. Just "turf" (read weeds) grass. Putting in a new mailbox post it didn't take long to get to...

Unfortunately I need stamped plans and cannot get an engineer to return my calls. I do have a new lead I called this week and will be following up with tomorrow if I don't hear from him today. Thanks

Watch it with the Virginia cracks. (We do like our moving violation state funding though) Which shop did the PPI? Car looks great!

All on site, so both. Due to my lot layout I cannot have large trucks in the yard due to septic leach field locations which makes craning them on the walls hard. With my plans for the second floor, I can layout the attic truss sections on the floor deck, then only have to lift them 4-5 feet...

My rough plan ideas are here: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/28x40-first-draft-plans-critique.492113/#post-9425044 Roughly: -verify the truss design and modify the gussets to be hand built on site -identify beam/column size/material for clear span floor -any extra footer...

I'll add them to the list for cold calls. I hadn't tried them yet.

South East VA. Symantics I think at structural vs civil but sure. I need a guy with a P.E. stamp to finalize my plans that I've done 90% with a few questions I as a Mech Eng am not sure on and cannot stamp plans myself for my County requirements.

I'm having a hell of a time getting a few civil engineers/firms to return my calls/info after initial contact except for one that is about 3x the price I was expecting. I'm half tempted to just pay him as he communicates quickly it seems unlike the other 3 that have either failed to answer or...

Awesome work. I imagine the wallet hit early will be paying dividends when the summer months roll around.

Hi friend. Late to your garage thread, I'm also in the planning stages for shop/storage space for my (much smaller) Mcoupe collection. I've got a 28x40 plan in the works. Attic trusses and "clean storage" as well. with a 12ft interior ceiling and 2 4 posts lifts have you considered stacking...

I would bet its to ensure you're not in the same situation as @KrucksGarage ran into where the drywallers undid the mounts to the ceiling and didnt shorten them when being made back up so the tension on the coils/angle on the tracks was thrown off and causes some issues.

I was about to say that the older style homelinks likely need a repeater. I had to do this with a retrofit homelink in my BMW to my newer Chamberlain openers. May want to do some extra internet sleuthing to see if a different repeater will work with your homelink version and operator.

Party looked Rad. It's funny how when looking at your photos sans humans in them, the low hang side of the space looks tiny. then you get people standing around and it puts a perspective on the entire space. Looks great and jealous of the space!

There should be. I'm no professional but if I understand the process correctly, and since you're HardyBoard siding, I think the flashing goes on top of the roofing paper and under the edge of the house trap for water deflection properly at all vertical to roof joints.

I dont know if I accidently un-subbed, but these update have been blazing fast and the space looks great! RE: the plumbing vent, I'm surprised they just didnt extend it through the roof, but not sure what that entails in your region for insulation/thermal bridging, etc etc. Those style vents...

Sub'd! I somehow missed this thread, which has the same foot print dimensions as my plans. Looking great. I'm not limited to a 20' height at least, so I plan a more substantial second story/attic truss situation Out of curiosity it looks like your sub panel has 5 studs in total in the wall...

I am no professional but my readings concur with the sentiments above. Flat on ceiling Eggshell/Semi on walls (per sheen personal preference) Gloss on Trim/doors/high touch surface Not sure how much concern you have with sound echo and such, but a texture to the ceiling is suppose to help...

Lot layout The white phantom line is the existing fencing that obviously will be moved. The shed is 12x16 and not desired to be moved or deleted

9/12 over the car bays is to maximize future Solar, not much of a snow load in my area 15lbsf 12" I think, I'm on old farm land so good top soil and then hard compact not too much further down. I'll dig down whatever is required by code plus a little. I think my current footer is 14" below...
