Hi all,I currently have a ~750 sq ft 3-car garage with mostly 14 foot ceilings. I'm using part of the garage as my woodworking shop, but I'd also like a smaller dedicated space for electronics work and 3D printing. My plan is to frame out an 8 x 8 feet space in the corner, so I can keep this clean from dust/debris, and also use the remaining 5-1/2-6 feet on top for household storage (seasonal decorations, bulk supplies, homeowner maintenance supplies, etc.), as most of the vertical space is now wasted.I rendered out my plan for the framing, but I'd love a quick sanity check from people who have more experience with framing, as I've only done a small interior wall prior to this.Here is the render, with some notes:As mentioned, the footprint is 8 x 8 feet, with the interior ceiling being 8 foot tall as wellThe ceiling will be constructed from 2x8 lumber and will have 2 full sheets of 3/4" plywood on top for the storage areaI'll install a regular 30 x 80" interior door for access into the roomOn the other wall, I want to add a 36 x 48" picture window (or simply a framed glass pane) to let in some natural light. On the exterior wall next to this window rough opening, there's an existing window at the same height.The gap below the two rightmost studs next to the window rough opening is where the concrete foundation juts out about 2-1/2", so those two studs will rest on top of the concrete, with the next studs being fastened to themI plan on fastening the bottom plates to the concrete floor using 1/4 x 3-1/4" Tapcon concrete anchorsI won't be needing any electrical in the added walls, as there's a dedicated circuit running to the corner already (the previous owners used it for a freezer, I believe)Thanks in advance for your insights! via /r/DIY https://ift.tt/35nMg8S
