Traditional Style 2 Car Garage Plan 76049

A: Re: Design 76049. 1. The perimeter wall is a poured concrete stem wall sitting on a continuous poured concrete strip footing, with reinforcing called up in the wall and the strip footing. 2. The exterior wood framed walls are 2 x 6 studs at 16” o.c. 3. The roof joists are 2 x 12’s at 24” o.c. 4. I only have a PDF file version presently available for this design. Thank you for your interest in one of my designs. Please email with questions or if you require any additional information.

A: Yes it is possible to remove the wood post in the double garage area. The easiest way would be to slide the existing wood post in the garage area back to the staircase wall. Then locate the only loft post directly above the lower post and redesign the loft ridge beam size accordingly. Best regards, Regan

A: Hi, The original design location has a deep snow accumulation and the client wanted to protect his siding, hence the high concrete walls above grade. The original design called for a rustic build so the client requested oversized heavy posts, floor support beams and heavy ridge beam all from rough sawn material. If you wanted to eliminate all these features the design could be modified to incorporate engineered attic trusses which would clear span this width. Thank you for your interest in one of my designs. Best regards, Regan
