I was driving on Borgen around 515 and a huge police and fire presence in the target/Safeway parking lots. Saw some target employees gathered by the outdoor seating at the Starbucks.
Anyone have the game on and want to watch? Will bring food and beers!
Planning on building a shop, wanting to figure out my truss plan to maximize storage and budget limitations.
Size will be roughly 28x24 ish. I would like to have some loft space for storage so here are my thoughts for roof line
A) Build taller walls ~11-12’ with a simple gable roof 6/12? built with ridge beam and rafters. Frame in a floor on roughly 1/2-2/3 of the space at a 9’ ceiling height giving me lots of space above especially at the peak. Would cost more with ridge beam and 2x8 rafters. Could also potentially fabricate my own trusses and put a monster gusset connecting the rafters to eliminate ridge beam.
B) shorter wall height- 9’ Same gable roof, Pay for fabricated trusses that include attic storage. Not sure the cost of those and delivery in my area.
Would make insulating/finishing the space easier. Eliminates some ceiling height but it is just a shop.
C) change to a she roof with a 4/12 ish pitch. Back wall height at 9’, not sure what front would be at exactly, maybe around 14’ or so. Frame in loft at front and have plenty of space for storage. Have to consider cost of roof framing members.
Thanks all for you input!
Shop will be used mainly for storage, possibly portion off a section for gym stuff. Carpenter by trade, doing almost all the work by myself. Just looking for some input from those with some hindsight and thoughts for me moving forward!
