So on the electrical panel, I'm estimating about 3 feet above the panel will be clear. The online calculator tells me about a 10' opening on the mezzanine. No issues there. I will to railing and such to make it all safe. I plan on a 4' landing at the top/mezzanine which will help with the...

So would you suggest the external stringers would be LVL without the cutout and then do one or two dimensional stringers cut like normal stringers in between?

Great comments so far and appreciate all the input and as usual got a lot of things to now think about. Was just gonna throw up some stairs and be done...now...hmmm.. So I'm definitely leaning on the shorter rise and longer runs. A 7" rise and 11" run takes the total length to about 16' which...

So my mezzanine is actually going to end up being part of my primary stained glass working area...meaning I will be using it a lot. So I think that going with something like you all have suggested with shorter rise and longer run would be better. I'm not opposed to using steel and now that it...

My bad...stringers. Thanks. Also I'm thinking that the "risers" and treads...should I shoot for sizes (at least in thickness) that are more common and actual. I'm guessing regardless I'm going to need to rip to width everything but the thickness is more of an issue. Are there standards that...

So I'm finally going to put in a real set of stairs to my mezzanine. The plan is to take out one section of the rafters leaving me a 4' wide opening to run the stairs up. The total height from the floor to the very top of the second floor is 10' 1/4" but I'm calling it 10'. Going online to one...

Continued to work on future garden stuff. Just about went through my pile of scrap wood and left over metal siding and got a second planter built. The only "new" items in the latest box are the screws. I was hoping that the planter box would require more of the dirt on that second tier but looks...

When I am designing and making my glass project for clients, I often wonder how "machine like" they want the results and sometimes I struggle with trying to do that. Gladly I can say no one has ever complained about the "imperfections " in my handmade art. I've checked out a water jet thinking...

I'm in the same state of mind...I'm leaving my kids with a bunch of stuff they wont even know what to do with. When my Dad passed away we just about gave away most of his stuff. I think this will make every GJ member proud...Even after seriously wanting to downsize, recently posting about that...

Been working on a couple of glass project commissions. Making projects for people that have a lot of meaning behind them is a very important part of how I work. I enjoy making projects that are specific to my clients and have a meaning and story behind them and love to learn the story so that I...

So...when I first build my shop, I have a friend that also had a Bendpak in-ground scissor lift. I was originally going full on and was going to get the lift put in however circumstances delayed that decision that then lead into me thinking do I really want to spend all that money to put in a...

For deep cleaning the inside I use Carbon Off. Pretty toxic stuff though but really helps get rid of heavy build up

Call this girl up to help and be sure to post pictures!

Doesn't get much simpler than that version. So looks like you just welded the stairs to the beam. I think I'm way overthinking my solutions. LOL. Thanks for the reply!

I built a scale clay model of my layout...more for the backyard layout but still helped me visualize the space. https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/ford-garage-40x60x20.402820/post-7491047

Question on your stairs... Looks like we have a similar setup. The guy who assembled my garage said that I should be fine taking out one of the stringers (I'm thinking at that back corner) and then build stairs there. So I would basically be cutting a stringer in half and then putting a 4'...

It's the Iliving ILG8SFRC Exhaust Fan Smart Remote Control Kit. Came with the fan. And it's pretty basic. I think someone should come up with a thermostat for these things that you can set the desired inside temp to say a low of 65 and a high of 72. Then as long as the outside air temp is below...

So the OP's user name is @Itsjustdirt … kind of ironic.

Looks like the one I got from my work and they bought everything from U-Line. You can see it's up on some wooden blocks because apparently they (this was our plant engineering group's workbench) thought it was too low and they also filled in that blank space with a piece of wood. The shelf I...
