Got a figure on total cost yet? I'll def. be doing something like this at my house in the next year and am curious how much just materials are going to cost me since I too will be doing most of the labor myself.
Looks good though, keep it up. 11/30/2006 12:49:54 PM |

Jeepman All American 5882 Posts user info edit post |
so we got both garage doors up, about half of the roof bracing done, 2/3 of the eaves done and none of the pearling. the rest will hopefully get done tomorrow, then we'll have the first inspection.

about as hard as putting together particleboard furniture, just on a bigger scale 12/17/2006 10:32:34 PM |

so ladies and gents we have the rest of the pearling to do and we'll be done w/ the framing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This looks like it'll be sweet when it's done. You can stop leaving all your cars out on the front lawn.
Is a lift going in this garage or will it just be a nice, clean, dry place to work on your assorted vehicles? 12/19/2006 12:36:33 AM |
Jeepman All American 5882 Posts user info edit post |
if i end up w/ a scissor lift it'll have a lift. if not it'll be a sweet place to work on shit. and the welder will actually be able to wheel around and reach stuff. i can't wait to finish it. 12/19/2006 12:39:30 AM |

It would have been better to put your blocking at the OSB seam higher on the wall 12/19/2006 1:43:51 PM |

^uh, no... 12/19/2006 1:54:10 PM |

not really. it's where it should be. 12/19/2006 2:17:21 PM |
grizzlyone Veteran 421 Posts user info edit post |
Blocking is only required on walls over 8'. And it location only has to be at a point so there is 8' or less from it to top and bottom of the wall. Placing it higher, both would have met code and would support the OSB at horizontal seams. That was my point 12/19/2006 2:43:02 PM |
BigBlueRam All American 16852 Posts user info edit post |
that wall IS over 8 ft. it's better served where it is.

I know its over 8', its obvious by the sheathing.
It would be better served doing double duty.
I have been in construction and have been framing various structures almost as long as either of you have been alive.
And to be clear I wasn't trying to call you, I was making an observation. 12/19/2006 3:14:21 PM |
BigBlueRam All American 16852 Posts user info edit post |
yeah, you're right. the hundreds/thousands of houses i've worked on/in always have the blocking near the top of structural walls, just so you can tie the edge of a sheet in...
Quote : | "It would be better served doing double duty" |
no, it wouldn't. it's better served where it is for proper lateral support. not to mention the functionality of mounting shelves, racks, etc. off of it in a shop setting. in a residential setting, it makes sense to keep it at a fairly even level for a number of other reasons.
Quote : | "I have been in construction and have been framing various structures almost as long as either of you have been alive." |
unless i've missed something, you run an import shop. where exactly are you gleening all of this professional framing experience? also, i highly doubt you've been doing any career, much less construction, for 26 years. or anywhere close to it.
why don't you leave this to those of us that actually earn our living day in/day out in the business.12/19/2006 4:26:35 PM |

One thing I noticed is there's no airflow in thur. Might be worth the extra hour or two before you start drywalling to put in a louver up near the roofline and block in space for an interior fan.
I know in the winter when your painting or doing a lot of welding/cutting in a nice warm garage, nothing sucks worse than having to open the doors to let fresh air in/out.
Place looks damn good though, makes me want to buy a house and build my own like you wouldn't believe! 12/19/2006 4:40:34 PM |
BigBlueRam All American 16852 Posts user info edit post |
i can't tell in the pics, but i would assume they did a ridge vent, being common practice these days. they draw pretty well. i agree an exhaust fan or two would be a bonus though.
my dad has a pair of small ones in the walls of his painting/woodworking room at their house and they'll draw the fumes out in a hurry.

It really sad how little you know yet try to make broad comments based on that lack of knowledge.
Started working on framing crews in HS at 16, so that makes it 21yrs ago. Worked during college on and off for until I opened and ran my own construction company full time from 93-04, still do it part time here and there now. I have earned more of a living at it than you have up till now.12/19/2006 4:58:38 PM |

^^yea even a cheap ass dual 8" plastic window fan for dorms will do the job like a champ.
^and ^^
Having worked now with a couple of builders on houses, claiming 20+ years of experience doesn't have a damn thing to do with good practice knowledge. I've seen so much fucked up shit builders have pulled in the last 6 months it boggles my mind.
Sorry, had to put that in, shit pisses me off daily 12/19/2006 5:16:42 PM |

yet you still maintain that putting the blocking almost at the top is the better option? that makes it even worse.
Quote : | "It really sad how little you know yet try to make broad comments based on that lack of knowledge." |
no, what's really sad is you can't admit you made an ignorant "observation" trying to be a know it all.
