Perfect. But don't eat the jelly beans my kids will give you....they have the "alternative tastes" flavors. Nothing worse than a vomit flavored jelly bean.....

untill your niece gives you a jellybean that tastes horrible, and
when you (gagging) ask what flavor it was she shrugs and says
"i dunno, kitty cat made it"..........

Oughta be heatable under the loft?

[STINEY]

Bingo.

[DanStokes]

No No! NOT a "loft" - that's where farmers put hay. It's a mezzanine! At least that's what EPA called them and I guess that sort of stuck in my mind. Either way, it's a good thing to think in terms of cubic feet and not square feet - you often don't need all the height you have so add a floor and use it all.

Tomorrow this building gets a 20x40 loft. Volvo gets pushed out tonight, everything else runs (it feels odd to say that, not a normal situation at all)

To be continued tomorrow.....

[STINEY]

But I thought a mezzanine was self-supporting and sits directly on the floor?

Either way - yep cubic thinking. This was the plan from the start for this building....baby steps....

IT'S a "Loft" !!!!
A Mezzanine requires, "Toe/Tool Boards, 2 Rung Railings, And Steps, or a "Fall Guarded Ladder" with Tie Offs and a Fitted Harness for any Height above 6 feet..........
DEFINITELY A LOFT......LOL

Son is going to do a similar loft in his pole building....

Mine has that stuff. It was moved from a HUGE commercial warehouse. BTW - go with a stairway! That's probably the best part of mine as access is SO much easier.

Yes. "Minions, listen to me!" Of course that would be me talking to myself.....

Stairs are planned but "we" aren't sure where "we" want them yet. So once "we" decide I shall declare "Let there be stairs!" and then I shall have me go create them.

Progress.

As we say in NC - "You won't never regret it."

All the goodies back in from the cold.






And the new 800sf of space.



And the best part is now that the loft posts are done CEMENT can be placed!

[DanStokes]

Pull down stairs? With proper counterweight they work well.
