I am 3/4 of the way finished with my garage renovation. 4 months ago, I noticed as I was measuring to put plywood across the rafters that two of the 4 I had were deflected at least 2-5 degrees. Not good. So $~500 later I have 14 2×6x30 rafters that are doubled up along the entire length of my garage. I then put reinforcing joists at 90 degree angles and hung them using joist hangers that are heavy duty. I next installed 1/2 in ply wood on top of this structure to give me a place to store our odds and ends. I mean with 2 kids and my wife and I, we have alot of stuff! I mean Christmas takes 12 totes as it is. We have Halloween and Easter totes and wrapping paper totes. I have my baseball gear and miscellaneas sporting equipment up there as well. Next comes the camping gear; tents, stove lanterns, ice chests etc.
Last comes the baby gear. Yes, we are expecting our third little bulldawg in May!
And then I am done. Fin’.
snip snip!
Cheers,
Dawg
