Do what you can to be there as much as possible for everything being done if someone other than yourself is building it. I learned alot after it was too late on some things that were or wern't done. Good luck!

Fine garage! :thumbup: Nice cars too! I love the 53 Chevys!

Thank you all for the advice! :beer:

Going to be painting my shop soon and probably painting my new garage door a different color than the factory white. If you painted your door (mine's metal) did you prime it, sand it, or just paint over it? If so, do you know if latex paint is ok to use? Thanks for any input!!

Thanks for the information. I'm going to check into them! I live in south Louisiana, so they might be a little gun shy about selling those doors to us with all the Hurricane mess.

Hey nice garage Nova65! I've been researching the Amarr steel carraige doors similiar to yours and I'm needing a 18x10. I was told that Amarr didn't make the Carriage style doors in that height. Do you know if thats true? What size doors do you have? Thank You!!!

Dang man, We must be related!!!!! Hope it works out for you!

Will do. Thanks Dave and to all who have replied! I've learned alot from this website!

Thanks for the responses fellas! My carpenters installed the concrete wedge anchors. They put 24 or 25 in the frame. I'm pretty happy with them for now but just to be safe I probably will add more of those or the ones you use with epoxy to be extra sure!

No, it's not a normal practice here. I happen to come home from lunch and they were already sanding it, that's when I asked if they were putting the bolts. They said "they didn't leave any bolts for us to install". I guess they thought I was making a 24x46 parking lot with 18"...

Thanks guys for your quick and informative responses. Forgive my ignorance, but I'm not familiar with a concrete drill. Would I have enough room to get a drill like that straight enough to make my holes straight because my plywood is already on the walls? I guess what I'm saying is, does this...

:mad: Hello! Newbie here! Looking for opinions/advice/prayers on the best methods of anchoring my shop frame. Got my slab poured last week and the concrete finishers didn't install anchor bolts. So Fri. my carpenters start framing the walls (all 3)...

Very nice shop. How is it noise wise with tin for your walls? It looks cool!!!
