top kids toys this christmas image
Q. Were going to Russia for there christmas(December 6th and 7th) and it means we have to travel from Toronto to Heathrow and then from Heathrow to St Petersburg. Normally my daughters very good but this year im getting a little worried. So what are your top tips on travel entertainment?
Answer
Portable DVD players, if the plane doesn't have individual TVs at each seat. Most international flights do that now though, so you may be OK. Bring the laptop, hope that there's wifi on the plane, and then use the Netflix on Demand for more movies. Snacks, toys, coloring books, crayons, and anything that comforts them and makes then more likely to fall asleep.

Do ceiling joists in a garage need to be strenghtened to support overhead storage?

Gable roof with 2x8 rafters 16" oc. 2x10 ceiling joists 16" oc, 24' span. I want to nail 5/8" plywood down on top of ceiling joists to store christmas decorations, kids toys, large bulky items. Roof pitch is 5/12 so usable storage is limited to midspan of 2x10.
Answer
Should be ok for storing light items...brace the floor to the rafters in the center every 8 feet or so...diagonals from the ceiling joists to the rafters every 4 feet, roughly a 1/4 of the distance out from the walls... support columns, beam or wall in the center would be better.
Your proposed setup is exactly what my garage has except I have more usuable space/different pitch and have had no problems in 30 years even with heavy items. 2 X 10 ceiling joists are hardly marginal and prevent the walls from bowing outwards. Snow load on the roof is moderate in Wisconsin winters.
