Les Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 This structure is abt 65yrs old with a 2/12 roof. this is the interior of garage. Obviously the engineered beam is new; glue and drywall screwed. I had never seen concrete blocks laid up like that either.

Marc Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 The block guy gets points for art but not for construction acumen. Hey, if it works.... Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erby Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Not really the blocks strength axis but better than being able to see right through the hollows like I've seen a time or two. Is it really an engineered beam. The photo looks more like a bunch of 2 x 6 glued and screwed than a real engineered beam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjr6550 Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 By any chance is the block at the exterior garage wall split face or some other pre-finished block? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
