Very cool read. The reason I asked about the upstairs is I see the garage is 28' x 28'. I'm not a builder so I may be just a nervous person. Anyway, since the trusses span the entire length, are the bottom beams large enough to support a decent amount of weight? Trusses, again not a builder, I believe are designed to support the weight of the room and transfer it to the exterior walls. I don't know if they are built to support additional weight in the center. Maybe a builder will chime in here.
