I have decided
Jan. 5th, 2008 04:18 pmthat I really don't like roof trusses. I understand their usefulness, and that they make my garage roof stronger, but the extra diagonal brace (I have M-trusses, but without the outboard vertical) really gets in the way when trying to do anything in the garage attic.
Why am I saying this now? I spent the first part of the afternoon cleaning out the garage attic on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
teeka's side and then spent the rest of the afternoon low-crawling my way around above her shop laying insulation.
Next part of the project is to see if I can heave a 3/4"x4'x8' sheet of plywood up there to provide structural storage space.
Eventually I have to bring down the rest of the scrap lumber that's up there. As far as I can tell, when one the previous owners put in the patio door on the driveway side of the house, all the wall framing they took out (nails and all) went into the top of the garage.
