Re: Looking for some insight regarding my garage build...

I'm baaaaaacckkkk...
What a month, stupid winter....but I am getting a little better with Sketchup, which is a bonus.
So, I'm finally getting back to my L/R build and just realized that I have an obvious issue that exists at a section of my outer leaf, which obviously went undetected till now.
In the attached picture, with the red and green lines, you are looking at two exterior walls and the ceiling to my L/R (outer leaf). On the opposite side of the L/R ceiling (my C/R), I built knee walls about 3' inward, away from the exterior walls of the building (from the red line and to its right). My issue is that the mass of the outer leaf (from the left of the red line to the green) is only 3/4" plywood, which clearly lacks the extra mass of the 1/4" rubber underlay & 3/4 finish planks in the C/R.
Can I simply apply mass at these locations, underneath the subfloor, about 4' out, and then just seal them really well, for example...I'd rather not have to beef up the entire length of each bay, like I did the walls, but it seems a patch isn't quite the same as having the entire mass on the same plane.
Any recommendations? More questions coming soon. Thanks!
Cheers!
