Re: Carport in a shop/garage

I looked at a house that was a converted carport to garage,1 wide /2 long.
In this case the garage attic was still open to the house,not good.(fire/gasses)
A (removed basement fireplace) stack still went threw basement wall to the garage roof beside an old window that could open,were concerns...

But a carport added after would not have these prob.
It was 3 or 4 posts in concrete for support before.
looked like the in-between post foundation strips, added after ,were heaving.
I'd pour the support posts as a one strip,floor later?
bad oil smelling stained asphalt was left inside for the garage floor.
