[KMR Construction]

So after recooping from the site work side of the project its time to start on the framing. I am a contractor and have alot of friends in the field. Called in the troops and a couple favors and in a weekend got the walls up, beam set and 1/2 the floor framed. Check out the progress

It appears you are framing a 2nd floor..... correct ? If so , what will this be used for ?BTW, looks good.

 

[KMR Construction]

As far as the town knows "storage". But I think I will store a pool table and 60" tv up there. Its 24x30 with a 10 pitch roof. There will be a shed dormer on the right side.

What's the beam made of........ spans 24' .....correct? No flex ?

 

[KMR Construction]

its a w12x35, and way more then I needed

Nice project. Is that beam is a steel/wood build up? Substantial.

I filled the web with 2x10 and it gets bolted. Ordered it predrilled. Cheaper and stronger then LVL

Wayne, The garage is 24x30, 10' 2x6 studs which puts the ceilling height at around 11' +/-. Where in SE MA are ya? Scott from Short Pour foundations did it, he does all my concrete work. I think it was $3800 if I remember correctly.

I'm in Fall River. I called him to get a price and he never got back to me. I'll have to try again. Thanks. Like everyone else I'm on a tight budget. How tall were the walls including the footing? Did you do your own excavating and back fill? Mine is smaller and only 3 sides plus an 8' section its attached to house.

 

[KMR Construction]

I did my own excavation due to having friends with equiptment. The walls are 10'6" tall plus the slab is set 6-9" down from there. Send me an email with your info and I will have Scott call ya. Also if you are looking to hire any of it out let me know I will be happy to give you some pricing.
