My Garage Build Thread

Wow the car really adds perspective :tup:

If you dont mind, how much did this cost …ball-park. My parents garage is legit going to fall down soon and this is the perfect size for our property

Looks sick X…kinda looks like a lot of built in shelves on the walls…you going to utilize some of that

It will all be insulated, drywalled, etc. etc. However I’ll have plenty of cabinets and stuff for storage.

Awesome. I wouldn’t even know what to do with myself if i had a garage that big, and new. lol

nICE!

What about gutters?

on a side note, now you can seel me that shed you have in the back! :wink:

One thing at a time…gutters, garage door, landscaping, sidewalk. There is still a lot of exterior work too. Shed houses the mean craftsman rider. Lol.

I gotta bug Sam to take a bike ride to your place to see this looks like a cool home.

That looks great. Awesome :tup:

+10

thats looking great. :tup:

Update Bump

Progress has been pretty slow, Concrete doesn’t dry too fast, grass doesn’t grow that quickly either, and electrical isn’t too exciting to see. LOL

Overhead door installed, I’m gonna get some little grilles in the windows still (I think), and I hung the lights in the front to give it more of a finished look

Concrete poured and almost cured, good enough for the 335. It was a good feeling to finally see it in there, just to see how it really fits and looks. I hung some cord reals up higher to make it easier to work with. Instead of going crazy with outlets every 4 feet, I decided to just do a few up higher on the side wall on the reels. I do have them in each corner though, just because things that need to be pluged in usually wind up in a corner.

This garage looks like a much more awesome version of mine! :tup:

Will you be doing dry wall and finishing it all off?

Looks awesome so far. :tup:

Thanks Guys.

I need to finish figuring out where everything will go, like Heater, TV, Fridge, cabinets, etc., then they will come in and insulate, then I will drywall the whole thing, do the interior trim, etc. I was trying to figure out TV placement yesterday, because I need to run the cable out there.

Love it, Xander.

Looks real nice!

This is my first look through this thread…what a nice ass shop you got there…

I only have one concern…were the trusses rated to be loaded inside the design where you layed the plywood for attic/storage?

Which brings me to Luke_L’s question…you cannot modify an existing truss, once you do it’s ratings/warrantees/gaurantees are all out the window and they are not gauranteed to work for anything. They usually come with a design/load diagram with it’s ratings and prescribed method of install/use and are only gauranteed to work the way they were designed to be used. Any modifcation voids design

They are specific Attic trusses, so yes. I am actually going to be using it to store bulky lightweight items (patio furniture, decorations, bicycles in the winter). As appealing as it looks I am not going to be using it as another “room”. Somewhere in the description of the truss it said 40lbs per square foot live load in the section from 3’6" tall to the 6’7" tall middle.

most people don’t do their homework. Well done, sir.
