Well we finally got started with the "loft project" I had planed which seems like forever, the final loft will be far from what i had envisioned based on "red rose starter loft design" After much discussion it was finally decided that a more conventional build "stud walls" would be used, although i really wanted a stud less interior and look! Also a foundation that was hurricane wind resistant, didn't want the loft sort of blowing in the wind lol! So the base which is 8x24 is attached to 4x4's which are 2ft in the ground, 2x8 frame, 2x6 hangers, and 3/4 inch plywood, makes for a solid foundation, much of the earlier discussion centered around "what ifs" "planning ahead", could the building be used later for something "i.e. storage, workshop, chicken coop, some of the things mentioned should something unforeseen happen? A lot of give and take! I have taken some pictures and will post when i get a chance, just got "called" the foreman had a hard time finding lumber
and had to travel to orlando to get some, so i have to leave and get started on the frame work today, I'll get some pictures of that also!
