Last week I started on my Garage Loft. I based it on the Wasted Spaces show that I had seen a while back. I don't a picture of the "Cleaned out" garage (I never really got it completely cleaned out :gar-La; but I found a picture of the garage while in the construction stage:
The lower right corner is where the sill plate is for the garage wall. The foundation is about two feet below that. So I have 15' from the floor of the garage to the ceiling. The rest of the pictures show the rough framing of the floor.

The last picture shows the Supervisor inspecting my work :gar-La;. All I need is plywood for the floor and a railing on the front. Maybe I'll enclose the space later but for now it will be open.
Oh, I used 4X6 treated for the posts and 2X10s for the ledger boards and floor joists. It stands 7' tall at the bottom of the joists and 7' from the floor of the loft to the ceiling. I gotta finish it up in the next couple of weeks or I'll have to pay for another month of PackRat Storage.
Thanks.
