Is there a particular purpose to making each end bay smaller rather than full length/full height?

Yes..so it wouldn't look like a giant Costco building in the middle of a nice residential area of high end homes...
The end spaces are 10x25 and the inside space is 40 x 30.
The 3 glue-lam beams show up today and we'll get those up tomorrow. Then the rafters/roof starts to take shape soon thereafter.Last edited by WagonCrazy; 08-28-2018, 11:07 AM.1957 Nomad- LS1/T56 on C4 chassis

I figured that might be your answer.
Was that required for zoning or HOA approval? Or was it something you offered up yourself?
It looks like it will be a great shop. Those end bays could easily be a lounge, office, "dirty" room, or "clean" room - any of which are good to have.Comment

No HOA in my section of Santa Clarita (which is rare). It was something I came up with, to make the keep in essence with feel of the neighborhood.Was that required for zoning or HOA approval? Or was it something you offered up yourself?
Yep. Left bay contains a bathroom and will have a small kitchenette counter/sink along the wall and area for man cave lounge. Right bay is for now, for storing all my off road vehicles. But when its time to spray the paint....hang a curtain and close it off and spray in there...It looks like it will be a great shop.

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..Comment

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.1957 Nomad- LS1/T56 on C4 chassis

The first thing I thought when I saw those beams was "holy crap!". Is the center one tall for a tall ceiling? Seriously you could at least raise a body off a frame with that beam.Nobody said anything about those massive glue lam beams being like 10x more than what's necessary.

Did you do the center one like that instead of trusses, for a tall ceiling? Anyways, the rafters are going up now, and by early next week I should have pics with plywood on the roof.

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....Comment

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.56 Nomad, Ramjet 502, Viper 6-speed T56, C4 Corvette front and rear suspension

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.Comment

That's a better plan than I did, hacking the centers out of a couple rafters to install one like I did on mine.Comment
