"BP" - Re: Garage height...8 feet or 10 feet? - Most residential garages (attached) are 9 feet + due to the even top plates and the drop from the living area floor joists and 8' ceilings. Most garage door tracks are set up for this height. You see 8 feet in garage-unders. They are very cramped and the garage doors require special low-headroom tracks. Go 9'-4" or better. wrote in message news:1121256710....

"Daniel H" - Re: Curious... Question about softwood lumber grades... - If I recall correctly from Hoadley, "Understanding Wood": - for softwoods, slower growth results in harder wood (and I think it's because the earlywood is harder than latewood in evergreens, so you want thin bands of latewood) - for hardwoods, faster growth results in more latewood which is harder (and I recall a series of pictures of a ring-porous wood which demonstrated this phenomen...

dbuckley@mail.com - Garage Pad and concrete block - I'm building a 24 x 28 garage/shop and would like to have more than an 8 foot ceiling height in it. It's going to be a 4" monolithic pad and I was thinking of laying 1 or 2 courses of 8" concrete block and building with standard studs to keep from doing lots of cutting. One corner of the pad will be about 16" - 20" below grade, but I won't be backfilling around it, so I think I will be...

"Joe" - Re: Curious... Question about softwood lumber grades... - The less sun the tree gets, the less it grows and the tighter the rings. That's why the best lumber is cut from the North side of a mountain. -- JerryD(upstateNY) For reasons that I don't entirely understand, pine and fir that grows slowly (As a second generation of trees in a mature forest) is much harder than fast-grown pine in a plantation, where the reverse is true for har...

"No" - Re: Curious... Question about softwood lumber grades... - DadOh has it correct. See http://www.diyprojects.info/bb/ftopic14689.html for more info. I'll quote part. Q: A Softwood is a soft wood and a Hardwood is a hard wood. Right? A: False. A softwood is the wood of a conifer (or a Ginkgo), a hardwood is the wood of a dicot tree. The hardest hardwood is some three times as hard as the hardest softwood, but the hardest softwood is some fou...
