50 load bearing beams

where are we at on this anyway? tomorrow's Friday.

Great suggestions. Thanks guys.

What kind of paint should I put in there since some moisture may still get in there through the door? Like a bathroom paint? Or just regular paint?

I don't want to paint cause I'm lazy but I suppose that's my next step.

And to get trim.

get trim? go on.........

I only posted it yesterday! My daughters boyfriend is done so now I am figuring it out. He just has to put lights up at each end but I am undecided on what to put there.

Sorry, I don't look anything like my neighbor Sally. For one thing I'm almost a foot shorter

good thinking, pin the delay on the daughter's bf. :winkwink:

Well this really should have been done a couple weeks ago when I took everyone skiing and was gone!

Then I had to have a "chat" with him. So I'm happy it even got this far!

It's never a woman's fault. You know this?

It looks like you're a commercial fisherman (crabber?). What do you call those bins?

Historical fact. Ftr, I think your space looks terrific. When I spoke earlier re: your contractor, I had assumed it was all new, I hadn't realized you were reinventing a previous build. With that in mind, I think you can blend those beams in and like what you've done. Perhaps cover them with sheet rock and blend in with the walls. On the other hand, that structure may be overbuilt and a qualified inspector can let you know if it is safe to remove those.

I have one of those wood burning kits. Would be cool to put some design in there and then stain like the floor.

But the kit sits in the package it came in, unopened. So I'll probably just paint it white and paint some decorations or inspiring words and see how it looks! If that fails, I will have to box it in. I just hate them.

They really may not be needed though, so that would be awesome and easily solved. It's a 10 X 20 shed building.

its a little late but if you hate em the easiest and cheapest fix is to drop the ceiling....

Thought of it, but it would feel too cramped for me.

You could hide them with foam sheets or spray foam instead of drywall. Then cut and sculpt it into any shape you like.

I would go with about 8 cans of spray foam on each one then paint them brown. I mean, that's what I would do if I was a fecalpheliac like currentlysober.

Fuck that!

Wining!

I don't like poop. :321GFY

Ya,,,, that's fucked as having to logs over head.....with no way to hide them....
Damn 420???? What were you thinking?

Bins
 

Actually, those are grape tubs. This was in the middle of harvest. For years I was a cellar rat (will work for wine & wine making knowledge).
About 8 weekends a year. I was 1st there, to show idiots (volunteer pickers) how to park, last to go. I couldn't lift the big tubs so I found chores nobody else would do. Guys would dump the tubs, I'd move them out of the way. Clean a batch, for the next load of grapes. When it's 40F, that water's cold. Helped on bottling runs. 'Got to taste test for quality control.'

Once a pump over-flowed and I showered in white wine until I got the valve shut off.

Actually, for a small winery won the most prestigious award in the U.S. --The Jefferson Cup.

Besides tubs, washed the presses and crusher-destemer. Helped bottling, blendings and spent many a day just reading a book, while drinking wine, overlooking the vineyards. I truly feel that then I was the richest man in the world.

Me just minutes before dropping from heat stoke. We had been harvesting in 106F for days, as the heat was destroying the grapes.

Hm ok. And you seriously are the neighbor of that Marion guy? Does he dress up as a woman in real life?

We do actually live 10 houses apart.

No he doesn't do drag. He was just pretending to be a girl on GFY to get responses. It was more of an experiment to get people on social media to see if we got more responses to a male or female persona. He is a little strange though.

I still have an unused female one on FB, but "she" occasionally gets new friends.

The funniest one was Bebo. I posted some pictures of my girlfriend and instantly had hundreds of guys wanting to date. hardest part was explaining why i wouldn't do live cam. But got dozens of guys wanting me to run off to the middle east to live in a fucking tent with their extended family of dozens.

One guy in Atlanta got the hots so bad, his girlfriend found the account and started threatening "me." The other is a lot of guys post a picture of General Petraeus, claiming they work in Usa Washington.

What do you really get out of pretending to be other people and duping unknowing victims on the internet?

Just for fun? You people should really be ashamed of yourselves doing that. I can't even see how that's actually "entertainment".

Learn how to play chess or something. Go ride a horse go on a roller coaster swim in the ocean, hike in the mountains. That's fun.

So don't leave them lumpy and paint them any color except brown.


:) <3

Thanks. I was assuming you were a crabber because I thought your hat said "got dung". Then thought you might be near the water and the hill in the background was for flood protection.

I can only picture this as intense fun.

You know what I meant! Don't get fiesty first thing in the morning.

now I can stop thinking about riding a horse on a roller coaster

Wanna go here? I guess it's close enough.

Nice threadjack. :thumbsup

:disgust



Growwwl, there's a way to at least raise those beams higher up in the apex. The roof probably needs the extra support (or I assume they wouldn't be there), but they can be removed and less intrusive ones put in which would still maintain, or even increase, the support.

Since it's just a shed I'd suggest new thinner (less intrusive) support beams can be put flat on each side up against the ceiling at closer intervals, each set meeting at the apex and extending down to the top of the walls. Then a much shorter cross beam is fitted between the two, which then makes the cross beams much higher and thus far less eye-catching. Still plenty of roof support though, and with extra sets of beams possibly more.

Kind of like this:

OH MY GOD.

Let's go!

Makes absolute sense to me! That's so much of a better idea. FUCKKKKKKKKKK

I wish I would have posted this before drywall. I thought I'd get over them and they'd be okay though.
