More info on the I beam, as I am sure there will be questions:
4" I beam sourced locally, 7' / foot I beam support: a) 4x6 in wall at wall end of I beam. I beam at wall end sits on a pair of 2x4's that run from the concrete floor to the I beam. The inside 2x4 is screwed to the 4x6 through the drywall at 1' spacing; the outside 2x4 is screwed to the other 2x4 by 3" screws at 1' spacing interleaved between the inside 2x4's screws. b) 4x6 in each side wall, supporting c) 4x6 cross beam in ceiling (spans roughly 16') d) I beam is directly resting on the 2x4's at one end, and bolted to the 4x6 at that end with lag screws. On the interior end, there are two grade 8 1/2" bolts that are hanging the I beam from the 4x6 cross member in the ceiling. In the attic there is a 12" x 3" x 1/4" steel saddle plate that the bolts go through as well to distribute the load a bit more. This is all done according to the real structural I had done. |

I swear i love seeing a garage build more than i like seeing a car build, awesome work
|
Wooo! Nice job on the garage!
|
Good to see you post. Nice garage, so jealous! Mine isn't quite as bad as the description of your old one, but it sounds familiar :facepalm:
|
Very nice!
But... what's next?? |
Nice idea with the ibeam! What's the load capacity for that setup ?
|
slick setup! if the build follows suit, this should be a good one
|
Nice build! But now I am confused.. I came to "Build Threads" for Miata building motivation.. But I am now unsure if I want to work on the house, or car...

So it's rated for anything I can realistically get into the garage and expect to hoist. Worst case scenario is ls3+T56, figure roughly 700lbs for that. |
Nice. I'll have to copy your ibeam idea when I get the shed going later this year!

really awesome work on your garage man. I look forward to lurking on w/e build threads you have in teh future. I've always enjoyed all of your build threads, I'm sure this will be the same.

YESSSS. Com back Richard. We miss you.

And here we are, back to where we belong. 2001 LS, Emerald Mica, 6 speed w/ ABS and cruise control. Feels like we've been here before. It's a good feeling.
110k miles. Minor cosmetics with the front bumper, where the license plate holder has in the past made contact during parking, and a minor scrape on the right rear bumper cover. Other than that, externally it's in great shape, water was beading everywhere as I sat in 5mph traffic trying to leave Seattle today at 2:45pm. It has the original clutch still, because it has the '01 judder in certain sets of clutch engagement possibilities. Like, idling in 2nd is too fast for traffic, so you need to downshift into first. Or you're on an incline, and don't rev enough to get past the juddering engagement RPM. Otherwise mechanically it seems perfect. Had it up to 90 a couple of times once traffic cleared (this is just keeping up with traffic in the fast lane), no vibration whatsoever. It was also raining significant amounts for part of the trip, no leaks, no squeaks, no rattles. The tires on it are only a year old and are Goodrich Comp2 AS's, which is what I would have put on it anyway. A speed rated all season that's trackable. PO gave me a spreadsheet of all the maintenance he'd done and that he could find from other records. The trans even has the Motorcraft fluid in it already. Body panel fitment, especially the hood <--> bumper cover gap, is better than on my original car. So, very happy. Glad to be back in the community and have projects to think about again. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...df7a469ec9.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...8b22894d4e.jpg |
As cool as it would have been for you to buy my car, this seems right.
Did it come with that hardtop or did you put yours on the car? |
