question on trusses. contractor is building a stand-alone garage
24'x30'. 2nd floor is for storage. he's using 2x8 lumber for the floor
joists, mated in the middle with a gusset plate.

is this sufficient for bearing weight on the 2nd floor for storage?
some reason I thought wood-composite i-beams were better. he said the
gusset-type should be fine.

yes? no? opinions?


They would be ok, but I would go with the TGI beams.
