New 24'x24' Bungalow Woodshop/Autoshop in California

Wow what a build. Can't wait to see it finished.

Made some progress this weekend - trim around the underside of shed roof finished, paint prep started (TONS of bondo work), and drywall floating inside. Also picked up the recessed troffer fixtures this morning.

Baseboard inside should go in tonight.

Everything is very nicely done. It is a great building and the trim and curved topper look fantastic!! Great Job.

Best Regards

Copper roof on the eyebrow started yesterday. Shake portion should start at the end of the week.

 

[Brunow]

Whow! Nice job!!

 

[strike a poser]

Looks very nice. How are the edges of the standing seam going to be finished?

 

[1949 caddyman]

A COPPER eye brow! Amazing!

 

[James-W]

Looks super nice. Can't wait to see it finished.

There will be a decorative piece that slips over the top that goes on in a few weeks after everything else is done.

Got the post in for my driveway gate in last night. I had to do set it myself so I utilized some redneck engineering...

 

[nitro3421]

Painting should be done later today and shake roof will go on this week as well.

Driveway starts Monday and they expect to pour by the end of the week, followed by brick inlay over the following weeks.

Um, WOW! Crystal door knobs are so cool. Love the fact that the garage matches the house. Great idea of the leg on the gate post. Another example of bigger isn't always better. Big kudos!

 

[nitro3421]

Exterior painting is 95% done. Interior paint should happen this coming weekend.

I'm loving the build and attention to detail! I look forward to seeing the final result.

Lots of progress this week. Roof should be finished up today or tomorrow and driveway is starting today.

 

[elguappo]

Wow dude.
Just wow

 

[vr4joe]

Awesome garage build!

If property improvement were a game of poker, your neighbors would have already folded. Seriously, you aren't pulling any punches. You hit maximum points from me when I saw the copper gutter screens. I mean, who does that? Now I know - you do.

 

[Big Dad]

very nice

 

[GLTHFJ60]

Wow!!!

 

[nitro3421]

Thanks guys. In my line of work, I far too often see people cheap out on the last 5-10% which is where it really makes the difference (in the finishes). I'm also a firm believer of doing it right the first time which high quality materials. The labor is about the same, so why cheap out and need to re-do it again in 10-15 years? Hoping this garage lasts a century, just like the original house has.

 

[nitro3421]

Tons of progress yesterday - 15 guys working most of the day. Driveway formwork and baserock are done now and they're finishing up rebar today for a Friday pour. Brick work will start Saturday.

Roof is 99% finished now as well.

Love it!

 

[smschriefer]

Yay, more bungalow ****! I'm going to be sad when you finish. Since you went cedar shake on the garage, will you re-roof the house to match?

Sure will... but it will probably be a few years before I get to that.

 

[jeremy_cherokee]

I'm gonna have to ask you to hurry up and keep the progress moving because I'm too impatient to wait for Friday/Saturday.

 

[nitro3421]

Tons of progress Friday- Monday. Driveway was poured Friday followed by brick work starting the following day. Should be pretty much done by the end of this coming weekend.

 

[Trey T]

very sweet place you got there

 

[56rpm]

Very nice. Good idea breaking up the flat work with brick, classy.

 

[lieutenant]

Awesome! love everything, especially the gutters, brick, lights...

 

[racestatus]

that garage is beautiful I love the attention to detail to make it seem like it was built with the house

 

[SVTKID92]

Looks amazing, the house looks great and the garage is pretty neat. Keep up the good work.

 

[vonpahrkur]

Wow, driveway looks great! I'm just curious-how wide is it between the fireplace brick area and the fence?

 

[nitro3421]

Not as wide as i'd like.... 8'6 or so. I can just barely get my truck by, but plenty wide to easily get by with a normal car.

 

[nitro3421]

The rest of the formwork was stripped yesterday and brick work will wrap up this weekend hopefully. Interior walls get painted today followed by garage door install Friday and electrical trim out early next week.

 

[vonpahrkur]

Love the shape and the brick-work pattern, it's gonna be awesome!

 

[vonpahrkur]

Have you chosen garage doors already?

 

[calenjames]

Can not wait to see an M3 on the lift Please make my dreams come true.

 

[Trey T]

what's up with the holes and gaps in your driveway? Is it for paver stones/bricks?

 

[nitro3421]

Have you chosen garage doors already?

Yes - those go in Friday. Pictures coming soon...
