Don't you just LOVE construction?? especially when it's YOUR Garage going up~
I'm sure you're very excited (and hate to go to work each day).... as you'd much rather be there watching/assisting the tasks..
Yep. but someones gotta pay for this madness... so I owe, I owe, it's off to work I go!
Nobody said anything about those massive glue lam beams being like 10x more than what's necessary. The earthquakes and engineering liability, etc mean overbuilding everything these days.
I could hang 3 cars from that beam if I wanted to!
Anyways, the rafters are going up now, and by early next week I should have pics with plywood on the roof.
It sure gets small quickly when you start to enclose it.

Your laminated beams *appear* to be laminated 2x4s?? Are they ? if not, how are they constructed? The look to be very differently constructed from the laminated beams used in my home....
Paul, I'm curious why you didn't use trusses instead of a beam and rafters. Are you trying to get a taller ceiling height? My shop has a big attic with stairs up into it that I use for storage space. Sure glad I did that.

Just speculating here, it may be a way of getting enough clear height to have a lift. But you wouldn't have to do it on the end bays or even the full width of the middle bay.
That's a better plan than I did, hacking the centers out of a couple rafters to install one like I did on mine.
