60 WTI so I can just demo and rebuild is the real answer.

I support this, especially if it comes with $3 AECO

I got super lucky with my shop as 3 of the 4 walls have a small pony wall and the 4th is where the doors are.

Also because of the roof shape I want to say its either a 8" or 10" wide wall and is double studded.

They did a lot of good things and some really stupid things in my shop.

Heck let’s throw some propane north of a dollar a gallon while we are at it

Gettign wildly off topic, but since this entire thread is my off-topic derail of the original legit thread, fuck it.
Do you remember when methane was valuable? Drilling in places like Horn River for dry (and lightly acid/sour) gas? Fuck those were fun projects. and as a former production engineer, let me tell you dry gas fields are a joy to operate.

Fairy tale nonsense

I suppose at a low enough gas rate, every well acts like it's liquids rich . . . . I have experience with that too. Damn I had some good times.

If I go dig in my Google photos... I think I have before/after for a 1brick pony wall conversion. Was up in skyview...

Basically they jacked the garage up off level, cut the studs leaving exterior sheeting, installed a new sill, laid a course of brick, pinned. 3 days later they lowered one side and did the other half. Bunch of extra framing was done inside before jacking it up.

I can just imagine some/most garage 'contractors' attempting a similar feat hah.

There's a few good ones out there, lots of bored as fuck construction guys if one wanted to PM it yourself - it's all subtrade work... But yeah it wouldn't be cheap - it was fiddly as fuck, garage door didn't come out originally but I ended up peeling it out and reinstalling from scratch as everything had moved just enough to be a pain in the ass.

I had this problem. Had a guy come in, build temporary walls down the middle and cut out the bottom of the walls/pour a pony wall. Cost me $3000 with a new apron poured.

As long as it wasn't a supporting column, I assume...
Oh, too soon!
I'm sorry! That was dirty pool!

Yeah guy by me just off 10st NW by the Queens Park cemetary did this last summer and poured a knee wall. I didn't get to see much of the pour but it turned out great.

There's also a video series I've seen of this type of thing:

Fucking LOL, pretty sure that was off syty.net, I almost bought that house but an offer got put in before ours.

that video? I happened to go to school with Lucas, which is how I know of the series. Pretty bonkers squeezing a HAAS into your garage lol

Sorry not the YouTube vid, there was a house right off queens park that had a very similar garage/house design to berserker’s post, garage had 10 foot ceilings that looked waaaay out of spec for the home so I figure it had to be something like the lift thread he posted.

Sadly with my new garage it is half submerged in a hill, likely a roof chop will be needed

No word of a lie, if this was a thing, I would totally do it. My garage is fuxxored from the stud-on-slab bullshit. Not to mention the odyssey tailgate nearly hits the top of the door.

But it is a thing, just get someone to lift your garage then form and pour a foot tall concrete curb to set it back down on. Engineering optional! It's easier than several member's collective mom!

[ExtraSlow]

Holy fuck I should probably do this. Wonder what the zoning is on garage height?

Your garage height won't change, it's just sitting on a footing. I am not aware of any bylaw restrictions on footings.....can't even imagine needing a permit for just doing a little concrete work.....
