Yeah, saw that when I looked it up on Google Images ... suddenly staring at cathedrals ...

Glad I ain't in construction, buttres, kneebrace, gallow brace, gusset beam, driving me up the wall!

I'm beginning to see how it is referred to as "The thingy that holds all up" LMAO

well not knowing the specs for your garage... perhaps run a beam from one end to the other and a jack post on either end...___________
� �....

it shows up if you quote me..lol

I can tell you this much.. if I was there I could fix it for you no problem...

. but it would cost you...lol...

Is that a schematic???
Are you INSANE? I'm a woman!!! I can't read bleeding schematics

I can do road maps, but not schematics!!

... The wooden supporting post in that corner has rotted at the bottom, so it needs another post screwed in next to it so it'll be fine for another ... who knows how long.
All the supporting posts, some 20, had rotted away at the bottom, damned garage was held up by sheets of wood on the inside, and by those sheets only!
We didn't know when we accepted the bloody thing (I say we, cos my ex said he would do it up for me. Well, he was in for a BIG surprise I tell ya, it's a danged miracle the thing didn't collapse, as it's 7 x 3,5 meters, so it's big, has an asbestos roof = friggin heavy.)
He done all the posts, I think some 19 except that last one, put in a proper door with lock, a huge window, then left and never came back, leaving me with a jack post in one corner and tons of wood that is now in the frigging way, lol.
All the wood is sitting on his best metal tressles, he needs those too, as he's renovating his own place.
What can I say ... Best he comes back to move the wood (too heavy for me), finish that last post, then all his stuff can go.

But in the end I'll prolly (try to) do that last post myself ...

And... this is why you women NEED us men.... because well you stand there overthinking this.!.. we just go ahead and do what needs to be done...
. and hope at the end of it... you give us a little something something...lol..

. but usually you just say..ohhh.good job honey..... now can you do something about the broken closet door....lmao....ohhh... and we'll fix that too... just on the hopes that you will... reward us with sex that evening......but... you don't.....

. WHY DON'T YOU..?..... because your primary function in life is not to get laid.... where .. that is our driving motivator......ok... nuff said time to go fix .. something... at least now when i fix something.. I know I'm going to get rewarded properly.... even if I have to do it myself...lmfao

... read your posting... went to kitchen to get water ... took a sip, thinking about this getting laid thing ... saw a huge cucumber on the worktop and almost choked
The things you do to me!

But amazingly enough ... my brain seems to be working again ... which is good ... cos this woman has been tied up to a beam for hours now ... and he don't know what to do with her ... just cos my brain had ceased working at its normal speed ... time to get on with it, before her arms fall off, lol

Yes it is brace. My late husband is civil engineer, i learnt from him lol
