BearXX Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 (edited) This is what I have been doing last year and a half Old garage had to go, and it took a week to demolish it 🤩 Then we had to blast a bit, and get the area big enough for the slab Next was to get it ready for concrete. Styrofoam and a lot of rebar work. Making it with a 1,5% slope from back to front for drainage. CONCRETE DAY I'm glad I hired help for this job. 1 week to keep it moist to let it cure Then a bit of foundation for the walls, and make it level. No wait for the carpenters to do the framework Edited October 7, 2020 by BearXX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearXX Posted October 4, 2020 Author Share Posted October 4, 2020 (edited) Time to get some serious work done. 2 days to frame the ground floor. Third day the trusses came and was hoisted up. Then the first floor was done and the rest of the job was mine.... First the floor upstairs And then to get the sides covered, and the roof laid with tongue and groove panels. After this job, I hated shingle 🤣 Edited October 5, 2020 by BearXX 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What depth/snow load do you expect? (I may have asked that on the last pR0j3ct.) I moved to a new house last year, and had to get more space Snow load for the area is 458 kg/m2 or 94 lbs/sq ft. We usaly get about 6-7 feet of snow 🙄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
