I just reconfigured the front of my shop. The building is 26x48. The 48' wall is the front. After much debate and planning I decided on one 10x9 door and one 18x9 door. I've got a Dodge 3500 that gets parked behind the 10x9 and I would want a door any smaller than that to drive a full size...

Lift your garage is doable. I did exactly that with mine this summer. Check out the link below. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5624 The actual lifting process went pretty smooth. We lifted the entire 26x48 building about 40", all at once. After the building was up in...

How about spraying polyurethane insulation directly on the underside fo the roof sheating? I've been looking into this on my building and it seems to have alot of benefits, especially for a vaulted ceiling. From what I have read or been told recently applying the polyurethane can drastically...

Yes, Michigan requires footings. They are all there from the existing building.

Hello everyone. Sorry for the lack of detail in the first post. I was tired but excited and I just wanted to get something up before I called it a night. I built a new front wall and had it directly behind the original front wall. Then I simply removed the original wall and slide the new wall...

I've been reading Garage Journal for quite awhile now. I've asked a few questions here and there, now it's time to post a few pictures of my progress. My wife and I purchased this property a little over a year ago, at least partially because of the 48x26 building that was on it. The building...

I think it may work this time.

Just a Test

Thanks for the advice. The Amarr Olympus looks like what I will go with, as long as I can get 18x9 and 10x9. I really like the concept of the foam-in-place polyurethane, but the one installer had me a little concerned. I'll get some pictures up in a few weeks. At the moment the shop only has...

Hello everyone. I'm currently rebuilding the front wall of my shop (48' long) so that I can add a couple bigger doors. I live in Michigan and the space will be heated during the winter, so I want the best insulation I can get. I was planning on going with one of the new doors with the...

Thanks for all the time and effort Luke. This is a great site, one that I probably spend too much time on. Thank You, Dave

DynoDave, You may have read my post to a similair question a week or so ago. I've currently got a building with three 7' high by 8' wide doors. With a Suburban and a Cordoba I don't think you'd like thos 8 foot wide doors. Even the my Jeep Wrangler I have to ba a little careful pulling in and...

I've got a 48x26 building that I in be raising within the next month. While I've got the building apart I am going to rebuild the front wall. This is the only wall that has any openings in it. Currently the building has three 7' high x 8' wide doors. I am going to be replacing those three...

First off, I've got to say I love this sight. You guys are all as warped as I am and that's great. I recently moved into a 'new to me' house with a 26x48 building. One of the problems with this building is that it only has 8' ceilings. That will be fixed in the next couple weeks. I am going...
