My work shop has been a nightmare lately so I decided to add a Mezzanine to gain some square footage. The shop is 32x40 with 14' walls so I came off of the bathroom wall and went to the end which was 34' in length and I decided to go 8' wide, giving me 272 additional square feet to fill with more stuff ::) ::) ;D I have to organize my fishing gear and get things out of the way to be able to have working room for projects ;)
Off to Home Depot to get wood ;D Had to make 2 trips >:(

Clearing stuff off of the back wall created a major Cluster F*ck :-[ :-[

Now it was time to notch the posts, after a bit of math and measuring twice ;) ;) I let max finish the cut that the cut off saw couldn't do. I didn't tell him I have a Sawzall ;D ;D

Next was setting all the joists in place and making sure all was level, looking good so far 8)

Now I just have some blocking to do and add some Simpson Strong Ties to the joists, then build the stairs. I more trip to Home Dump for the Plywood flooring and I should be done. Not bad for 2 days of creating a mess ;D Hope to get the boat out again soon when things calm down.
