Hello Old 61 It is well insulated both walls & ceilings. I also have 4 big South facing dual glazed windows, 2 East facing, 3 West facing windows & only 1 North facing window. We get a lot of sunshine here in Colorado & even on the coldest days this winter I have only needed a sweatshirt & that...

Hello I owe the forum an update that is way past due. I got the final inspection back in July. Since then I have been organizing & using my new garage. I have primarily used it for woodworking & then auto work with my son. I still plan to add a lift sometime in the future; it would be so nice...

JeffD My ceilings are 12 feet 3 inched high. I did that because almost all of the standard car/pickup truck lifts will fit in a 12 foot ceiling. Sorry about taking so long to respond. A4 Mike

I had the rough in electrical inspection and have to change the grounding arrangment. I can not get the final building inspection until I get the final electrical inspection. The final trim is done and the concrete has been curing for two weeks now and the garage doors were installed last week...

I passed the plumbing inspection last Tuesday. Concrete was poured Friday and gutters went on today. I had to start over on some of the electrical because the inspector wants conduit up to seven feet.

Roofing and paint are done. Plumbing inspection Tuesday and concrete sometime in the next two weeks. Meanwhile I am slowly getting the electrical done.

By the way. I screwed up on the original post, the garage is 30x45. The siding is on and caulked & will be painted tomorrow or the following day, roofing is going on Wednesday. I roughed in the plumbing this weekend and will get an inspection Wednesday. I have started to locate my electrical...

Scofo, I was in Austin several times last year when I worked for Agilent Techologies/Verigy. The training/technical center for the IC test systems is there and I was either taking or giving classes there. I would sometimes be there over a weekend and I looked the area over in case I got...

They added the porch cover this week and installed the windows and door. I installed the electrical service panel Saturday. The power had been trenched in several years ago, then I got laid off doing the dotcom bubble burst. The plans are to install the roof this week, put the siding on and I...

I try to log in at work to show my co-workers my garage and it never takes my log in? The log in window comes up, I enter my name and pass word and hit enter, then it goes right back to the log in screen. Any suggestions?

Hey Scofo, Are you in the Austin area? Your location on Lake Travis makes me think that, pretty area. The posts are overlapped with one side being 48" down from the center joint and the other side being 24" down from the center joint. So the joints are staggered every 24". I would think you...

They finished the OBS sheeting and framing Tuesday. We had heavy rains today so no work was done.

Here are the pictures you asked for. My contractor did not make them himself but he ordered them from a lumber yard. Looking at the post face on there are nail holes, so I suspect they are nailed together, I saw no signs of glue.

Sheeting went on today.

Sorry about the delay in getting updates posted our modem was down and needed to be replaced. There has been a lot of progress since my last post.:bounce: Check out the new pictures.
