    Yes, paint can wait, I will add 1k budget for a door, I have access to cost on any electrical and lighting and can do it myself That's correct the slab is $2400 That sounds like a good price, I would like to figure my own bill of material so I can go price it out on my own Pretty close to...

    Got pricing on a 20X20 garage build

    Got a price from 84 lumber on a 20X20 garage that included everything except electrical, paint, a garage door, ect....This was the structure itself and hardy board and the roofing. The price was $4,400 does that sound reseasonable? This was not one of their garage kits. Is their any kind of...

    First-Time Homebuyer's Garage 16x29

    This thread might have helped my finalize on a design for my garage. I'm thinking 16x30 would be a good size to go house a single car and lift and some side room for my motorcycle. Great space you have! I bought my first home and it didn't have a garage..... Now have to come out of pocket which...

    Gravel Drive Way

    That makes a lot of sense, The lowest price I've gotten is $23, I prefer the washed look and don't want the dusty stuff that tracks in As I said above those prices seem legitimate. 200 tons is a load!

    #57 limestone is what you have? If so that's the rock i have been looking at about 3/4" in size. I like the dust free large rock look....just very natural looking like what you find in a spring. Do you remember what you paid per ton?

    20x21 Garage build 2011, follow along start to finish while my wallet bleeds!

    Looking great! I have limited space in my backyard and I was originally looking at 20x20.....probably will end up going 24wX20d or something in that range. I'm looking to be able to have a lift in the future so that I could store 2 cars on 1 side and motorcycle area on the other. Going to kick...

    Coming to terms and budgetary figures on garage build

    That is a tough call and if I wasn't staying but 5 years then I would probably not dive into that much less a small shop build I live in east Memphis near park and mt.moriah and I really like the area as everything in my life is within a 2 minute drive even work! I'm originally from MS and...

    Gravel Drive Way

    Sounds like you put a larger limestone down then a smaller style layer on that? If so I can see how that would work well. Note to self I had 20 yards of mulch delivered today and I got about 5 yards of it done in about 3 hours. Where my drive will enter is single car and not large enough for a...

    Gravel Drive Way

    Yeah i know the exact rock your talking about.....it does feel like your on concrete almost. Doesn't it put off dust though? I don't think the larger stone will settle as well either and I think not having the dirt in it makes it that way. For a small residential drive I'm not to worried about...

    Gravel Drive Way

    I just did some digging around it and looks like the medium limestone I picked out was what they call #57 and its about 3/4+ of an inch in size and its washed rock. I called around to three different places and a full truck load which was 23-25 tons they said was enough to do 1400 sqft about 3"...

    Gravel Drive Way

    Figured I would install that black plastic edging border that you plant in the ground as it works well on my beds. Saw some rock they called roller tumbling river rock that looked nice to use as a border. Either use rock or cedar rail ties just have to wait and see how it goes. Interested to see...

    Gravel Drive Way

    Sounds like a good idea, not sure if we have a local quarry Maybe pricing is fixed at this place due to it's in the city and about 4 miles from my home....I just need to go see if I can match up the same rock and price check it

    Gravel Drive Way

    I'm going to go to a few more areas and price check. I looked at the note and it's labeled as a limestone rock This sounds like a path I would be taking but with possibly a different border than railroad ties. Like I just mentioned above the gravel I was looking it was rather large I should go...

    Gravel Drive Way

    I will look at other yards to compare pricing...I'm thinking this was 3/4" as well because it was pretty heavy duty Thanks for the info and they did not give technical name for the gravel. I am located in memphis, TN and my neighboorhood was built in the 1950's so codes are really non existent...
