We were hoping the garage would be finished by Christmas. Nope, it's still just the pad poured. None of the framers were willing to trust Bill's plans. Just because he is not an engineer or architect and we wanted a 1500 sq ft garage to not have any interior supports. So we went to Indaco Metal out of Shawnee to see what they could come up with for us. They designed and manufactured the metal for our deck roof at the lake so we knew to trust them. 3 weeks later they have given us a plan! Looks just like Bill's plan. It does look like it but they have it structured a little differently and we won't need to worry about snow weight on the roof which Bill had not taken into consideration. And the roof isn't as large as we thought it needed to be.
I think the house looks like a church from the back on an ariel view with the garage roof added on.
It wasn't until we had given everything to Indaco that we remembered we have a nephew who is getting his engineering degree; we probably should have gone to Justin first. We may have him look at other parts of the house plans before we go much further.
We are on the framers schedule and are his next job!
