Update Bump Progress has been pretty slow, Concrete doesn’t dry too fast, grass doesn’t grow that quickly either, and electrical isn’t too exciting to see. LOL Overhead door installed, I’m gonna get some little grilles in the windows still (I think), and I hung the lights in the front to give it more of a finished look ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/Garage/IMG_2556.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/Garage/IMG_2556.jpg) Concrete poured and almost cured, good enough for the 335. It was a good feeling to finally see it in there, just to see how it really fits and looks. I hung some cord reals up higher to make it easier to work with. Instead of going crazy with outlets every 4 feet, I decided to just do a few up higher on the side wall on the reels. I do have them in each corner though, just because things that need to be pluged in usually wind up in a corner. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/Garage/IMG_2553.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/Garage/IMG_2553.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/Garage/IMG_2554.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/Garage/IMG_2554.jpg) X… ---

I need to finish figuring out where everything will go, like Heater, TV, Fridge, cabinets, etc., then they will come in and insulate, then I will drywall the whole thing, do the interior trim, etc. I was trying to figure out TV placement yesterday, because I need to run the cable out there.

This is my first look through this thread…what a nice ass shop you got there… I only have one concern…were the trusses rated to be loaded inside the design where you layed the plywood for attic/storage? Which brings me to Luke\_L’s question…you cannot modify an existing truss, once you do it’s ratings/warrantees/gaurantees are all out the window and they are not gauranteed to work for anything. They usually come with a design/load diagram with it’s ratings and prescribed method of install/use and are only gauranteed to work the way they were designed to be used. Any modifcation voids design ---

Any modifcation voids design They are specific Attic trusses, so yes. I am actually going to be using it to store bulky lightweight items (patio furniture, decorations, bicycles in the winter). As appealing as it looks I am not going to be using it as another “room”.
