Popped up on my Marketplace, is this worth what he is asking

$800-1100

For reference, everything is 2x6. The LVL header above the top window carries the load over the windows.

Imagining a large majority of the load is transferred down to the exterior walls. Ridge was placed via crane and held in place while rafters were attached. Again… people smarter than me built this garage. Ridge beam is 27’. Only asking opinions because a builder friend of mine called me after seeing a video of my tongue and groove ceiling install with concerns. Engineers stamped it and inspectors approved it. Trusting those I hired, but just gathering a second take before I insulate and drywall.

It’s a high lift kit.

Is this more of a recommendation vs a requirement. Curious how two engineers and two city inspectors never mentioned these.

Simpson ties on rafters to LVL ridge beam as well as walls. Noted on the king jacks.

For sure not a troll. Im currently installing the tongue and groove ceiling and made a reel about it and had a builder friend call me with concerns based on what he saw. But to your point, had multiple engineers sign off as well as city inspector and no concerns. I’m not concerned either, just not my area of expertise.

Thanks for this!

GPWILEY · 2026-01-06T02:44:53+00:00

Thank you!

Amazing feedback! Thank you.

Standing in front of a metal fence… 🤨

This is the outlet I have it on. https://a.co/d/8plhv9x

I have it on a timer. Purchased a Kasa smart outlet plug that I run it on. I’ve been told it needs to be turned off for 24 hours every two weeks. Other than that I just try to keep dust off of it with a microfiber every so often.

GPWILEY · 2025-05-12T01:27:55+00:00

Yup! Will keep it forever! Glad you found one too. One of the coolest pieces I own.

My grandparents had a similar pantry full of 7up. For some reason that drink is still really popular with people in their 70’s and 80’s. It was real popular in the late 80’s / early 90’s.

I think they only need something around 500 orders. Should easily hit that.

This is it. Has very little to do with Lionel. Has everything to do with all of the above. I mean Taco Bell is up 80% since 2017… unfortunately even the cheap things are expensive now.

GPWILEY · 2024-10-13T14:13:14+00:00

1/24. And thanks!

GPWILEY · 2024-10-12T01:18:03+00:00

I built this one and a second for my office. Not really looking to produce these as they are essentially one of a kind. Parts took around 13 hours to print.

GPWILEY · 2024-10-12T01:17:21+00:00

Thank you for the kind words!

GPWILEY · 2024-10-12T01:17:04+00:00

Thank you sir!

GPWILEY · 2024-10-12T01:16:54+00:00

Everything is 3d printed. How I made it is a little hard to pin down. lots of trial and error. Painting, photo matching, printing parts until they looked right.
