What about on 2" x 6" walls?

Building a new garage this summer. A portion of it will be on an existing slab. The new portion has pex in the concrete and I am trying to size a boiler. The slab is not currently insulated. I am going to try and insulate the sides as much as I can. Not idea, but it will have to do. The area...

Trying to complete a material list for my upcoming garage build. I will have qty 3, 9' x 9' garage doors. My question is use LVL for the headers or 2" x 12"s. It will be a load bearing wall. The only reason I ask is the obvious cost savings.

That is somewhat of an issue. 10' up, so about 17 steps. Access will be at least weekly I would think.

That is awesome. Thanks!!

I am thinking about running exterior steps to my bonus room above my garage that I am building this summer. Does anybody have any pictures of example exterior steps. 10' sidewalls. Thanks,

Very cool......I will be welding one up for sure!!

The new stall will be used for a bit of everything. My wife and I build and refinish furniture as a side gig/ hobby. I also am restoring an old family truck. 1949 Chevy 3600. Right now we are way too crammed in the 22' x 22'. Looking forward to having the attic as a huge storage...

I had a previous post regarding adding onto my existing 22' x 22' garage. After some expert opinion we have decided to get rid of it and start over. Old Thread The old (existing) garage foot print is 22' x 22'. I poured a slab next to it 18' x 24'. Plans are to see if someone wants my...

It did not really go down like that. With the criteria I gave him, it just seems like the most sense.He does not have a whole lot of dog in the fight anyway, since I am only hiring him for the roof anyway.

Just a typical late summer day!!

Similar to a "bonus room truss"?

Contractor came over and we discussed options. Best option is tear it down and start over........time to crunch numbers.

No the center wall will stay. I have a contractor coming over tomorrow to discuss options.

Rafters more than likely!!

Anybody else.....

Couple problems with that. The new portion is 18' W and 24' deep. It is 2' deeper than the existing so running the roof the other way will not work easily. I am not a fan of 16' doors. 9' will be fine. The trailer will only be in the garage a couple times a year at the most, and I can roll it...

That truck is another time consuming Hobby!! http://smu.gs/QOlhWY

Thanks. I am an electrician by trade, but my wife and I do some some junk rehab, furniture rehab as a side gig. It is a fun hobby and it supliments her income since she works part time. https://www.facebook.com/Kustom.Creation The truck is just another hobby!! http://smu.gs/QOlhWY

That is another debate. 2 x 4 with spray in insulation or 2 x 6 with batt insulation?
