The trusses have another section to make the roof line added after the fact.

Chris,
That is one nice playroom...eerrr.. I mean garage, of course.

We are looking to start in April a 4/5-car detached garage w/ apartment over. We will not finish apt for 2+ years, but will use garage right away. I've seen a lot of opinions on composition and reinforcement for the concrete, and was wondering what you selected and why. Right now, I'm considering 5,000#, +/- fiber, +/- gas entrained, w/ some sort of reinforcement. What are your thoughts?

Keep the pics coming, and thanks.

Tracdoc,

I've never heard of "gas entrained" in concrete or anything else. What is it, and what does it do?

Thanks,
Eddie

Chris, great looking addition. Thanks for sharing the pictures, I'm enjoying them.

I was always under the impression 5,000 lb. mix was used for bridges and the like. For whatever reason I thought this mix sets up quicker than say a 4,000 lb Mix, which is what I have always used.

I have some fiberglas reinforced concrete but I still like the good ole rebar in concrete.
