1656 sq ft L shaped garage build

[crash457]

So I pulled the trigger and I'm building a my dream garage. It is L shaped and will be 1656 sq ft. I had to cut down most of the trees in the back yard, but in the end it will be worth it. Front side will be 20ft across on one side and 25 ft on the other. Both will be 24ft deep. 12 1/2 ft ceilings and 2 16x9 doors.

Welcome, looks like your well underway now. A garage is better than trees anyhow. keep the pics coming.
The L shape is nice that a single smaller parking pad can be used for both sides.

Plant some more trees after it's all up, shade is good

Look forward to more.

Nice! We have very similar builds. At least in additional excavation and concrete costs! Lol. Great job. I pour Monday. Are you putting conduit under slab?

Thanks. I will not have conduit under the slab.

I'm not sure who or what you're hosting for your pictures but it seem the older pics are failing to show up now. I'd suggest maybe using somthing else but not IMGUR, they won't here because we have a classified section, maybe try PB or attaching them here directly.

 

[crash457]

I attached them directly. Thanks for the heads up.

This is very similar to what I built. Mine is 1,656 sq. ft, 10' walls, 18' x 8' door, 12' x 8' on the front and a 8' x 7' door out the back. You'll love that back corner section for a work shop.

How are you running power and water without conduit ? I'm kind of jealous

No water. Too many restrictions. Electric is running as a new 100amp service from the pole. It will be independent from the house.

Roof is shingled.

 

[crash457]

Floor is poured and cut. Soffits are done. Siding is going on and electrical rough in started.

How's it coming?

Love L-shaped garages so much. They pack a huge amount of square footage inside without looking like some giant warehouse with no character. If not for my property lines that make it essentially impossible, this is exactly what I would build. I will live vicariously through your project, crash. Maybe if I just scaled it down a bit, I could cram it one on my lot...

 

[crash457]

Lots of progress. Siding is almost done. Walls and ceiling are covered, insulated and painted. Lights ang openers are ready. Just waiting on the doors.

 

[crash457]

A few more photos.

 

[crash457]

A few more.

Looks like its going to be a great space.

 

[crash457]

Garage doors are up and lights installed.

 

[SB440R/T]

Looks great. Mind me asking what lights you are using?

 

[M-technik-3]

Very nice looking place. Siding composite?
