Good luck with the rest of the build project, even with he rain it will all be worth it in the end. I love my garage, esp in winter for projects while I wait for summer. Helps pass the time. Maggi and I tell ppl we are garage folk cause we hang out in it so much lol.

Well Jarrod, 2 car's on one side a big screen, fridge, 9' pool table and futon on the other, hmmm... i might just be out there alot....:D

Ron that hail storm went 5 miles south and 5 north of me, i was holding my breath hoping the wind didn't blow the wall's down, close call...:shock:
 
big screen, fridge, 9' pool table and futon Wow that's going to be a dream garage!!!! I don't have cable so no tv in my garage, and we just watch net flicks on the ipad/iphone.
 
It is coming right along. Looks good. Rain? I wish, we got dumped with 6" of snow last night.

You got me beat on the furnishings-I have a flat panel and a futon, but no mini fridge or pool table. Seroiusly, you will really like it when its finished. Nice place to hang out with "the toys".
 
Looking good - it's a nice size.
I need to move someplace more suburban so I can have enough property to build a big garage. Mine just doesn't cut it anymore.

Yeah i guess it could be worse, i will take the rain over the snow any day but i do know i'm tired of cold weather, now i have to hope 40mph wind today and tomorrow don't do any damage....

Just don't move to a subdivison, they will tell you what size you can build and what style shingles you can use....:crazy:
 
Decided to pull 308 in the new garage to get a idea where to put the window's door's, ect, look's like everything will fit fine...
 
Any plans for the floor, mine is decorated with oil stains from many many messy projects???? My uncles garage has the cool checker board pattern.

Thank's Marcel, i am putting in 3 door's, six window's plus two garage door's...
I was uncertain about the placement of some window's that why i'm glad i pulled a car in, now i know i need 2 window's on the back wall (west side) to get more light in, i was winging it till the wall's were up as it always look's diffrent then... BTW , got your car back together?

Jarrod i think a big TTA emblem on the floor will work...
 
You have plenty of room(ceiling height)for a four post lift !!!! Put one on your bucket list of equipment for in there,once you have it,you won't know how you went without one !!!
These TTA's are a PITA for a simple thing that should be quick,like an oil change,on the floor with a floor jack sucks with these low cars,4 post lift,you're on it very quickly,NTM,leave it up there for safe keeping !!!!

Nice that you got it planned right, dont forget to leave room for a fridge, and couch, and of course the 60" tv. Hope Ill get something like that one day.
My TTA still needs the interior, thats coming next month. Wheels are almost done, tires are here. Thanks for asking Robert.
 
I have heard before that ALOT is not a word.. well.. let me tell you that raising, setting, and decking 32 trusses is ALOT of fu!**ing work for two men, this thing is trying to kick my ass...:boxed:

I got two mini fridge's and a full size, there will be beer in something... raining like hell right now so no work today..:cry:
 
Looks great Robert! Keep up the good work! It is a labor of love, but just focus on the end result.

I am not exaggerating-the 2 of us (we had no help from anyone) worked on our garage every free moment from the end of August till right before Christmas. It is a great day when the cars go in!

It is a lot of work but you know it is done right because you did it.
