Please review and let me know of any red flags I may have missed.
For the lower level framing, at the covered entry, I know that most people seem to choose to span their joists in the N/S direction to make use of the beams already located on the North and South sides, but is it ok to span it E/W as shown? Is adding a beam in order to do so a downgrade?
How about the column on the South wall of Shop 1...I chose to have it equally span the distance, but is it better to be embedded in the perpendicular wall btw the 2 rooms?
Lastly, when drawing the beams, is it ok to draw it as one unit when spanning 3 or more columns? Or should it be drawn as separate segments? Does this matter?
Thank you in advance for all your help! This is (hopefully) my last exam!
