Something like 1 inch or so. If you would like this project to take forever I would be glad to lend a hand. (LOL) Cy, the Ancient Okie... _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Larry Stansifer Sent: Monday, July 30, 2007 1:07 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Loft Hi Guys, Well you all have almost inspired me enough to attempt an 8x24 storage loft over one end of my shop. I am thinking 4x8 boards 24 feet long bolted through the outside block wall and another 24 foot long 4x8 bolted to 4" diameter support poles. The bottom of the floor would be 8 feet off of the shop floor. My plan is to cut through the concrete floor dig down about 4 feet and cement in the support poles. with the poles at 6foot intervals. I would install joist hangers every 2feet giving me 24" centers, using 2x6 joists to support 3/4 plywood flooring. Does this basic layout sound feasible? Do I need to double up the joists in the middle? What if any special tools will I need? I own a couple of cordless and air powered drills, wrenches, a saws-all and a second hand circ saw that isn't worth much.I also have a chop saw that I can put a wood blade in if needs be. I have read a lot of comments regarding the talking tape measure both good and bad. Do I need one or is their an alternative? Let me know what you guys think. I do have a friend who is a structural engineer and he told me he would be happy to look it over before I spend any money.
