Got Wood

[Tim524]

 My work shop has been a nightmare lately so I decided to add a Mezzanine to gain some square footage. The shop is 32x40 with 14' walls so I came off of the bathroom wall and went to the end which was 34' in length and I decided to go 8' wide, giving me 272 additional square feet to fill with more stuff   I have to organize my fishing gear and get things out of the way to be able to have working room for projects

Off to Home Depot to get wood Had to make 2 trips




Clearing stuff off of the back wall created a major Cluster F*ck 



Installed the Ledger Board and bolted it to the studs, Myles helped out by taking down the signs 



Time to lay out the posts (6x6) and drill holes for the anchor bolts .....5/8x 4 inches





Now it was time to notch the posts, after a bit of math and measuring twice I let max finish the cut that the cut off saw couldn't do. I  didn't tell him I have a Sawzall



I down, 3 to go


2 2X8X11', 4'' will go in the notched posts after installing all the joist hangers



Next was setting all the joists in place and making sure all was level, looking good so far



Now I just have some blocking to do and add some Simpson Strong Ties to the joists, then build the stairs. I more trip to Home Dump for the Plywood flooring and I should be done. Not bad for 2 days of creating a mess   Hope to get the boat out again soon when things calm down.
