A few small updates. I priced out the garage door openers and the place by me wanted double what they cost to install, so I opted to purchase them online and install them myself. The install was pretty straight forward, hardest part was running the wires neatly around the 12' doors. Went with...

Insulation is finished, took a little longer than expected but glad it's all done. Started sheathing the walls with 19/32 OSB and used some J channel trim on the bottom to clean it up a bit. Cutting out the holes for all the outlets was time consuming, used a jigsaw but man there were...

95% of the framing is done along with roughin in the 110V outlets, then it will be onto insulation Ran some outlets around as well, left a space up top for the garage door openers

I definitely remember your rig, small world! Hopefully once I get finished working on the garage I can get back to working on my rigs, haven't had as much free time as I used to since picking up some extra shifts at work. I got some more progress done, R38 insulation blown in the ceiling the...

Thank you. I dunno haha I read alot of the other threads and people have dedicated garages bigger and nicer than my house. I'm happy with how mine's turning out so far though! Thanks! Running the pipes for the radiant heat wasn't hard at all, just a little time consuming. I haven't gotten...

Hey I did get your PM, just sent back a reply let me know if you got it! Thanks! Got some more work done last week, lights and fans are finished it is nice being able to see inside :rocker: I will likely add some more lighting down the road but these should do for now. Had a guy stop...

Yes I stay pretty busy, wish I had more time to tinker on the toys but work always seems to get in the way :lol: Thanks! Thank you, yes I am planning on it when money and time allow. Hoping to get started on that once I wire up some lights Thanks fellas! Can't wait to be finished but...

Thanks! I am on pirate but I don't post much on there. The info on my tacoma is here http://www.toyotaoff-road.com/threads/another-swb-build.978/ So I was deciding on what to do with the ceiling and then this happened Started moving some stuff in Next up was to work on my air...

Thanks, I've been spending every last minute I've got outside of work out here. Most of it's being done by myself so the progress is slow but progress nonetheless. Thank you for the compliments on the yotas, I have some bigger plans for the 4runners once the garage is finished so I have a...

that it is, and man it's nice compared to what I was working with before LOL I did think about that, but I believe for now I'm just going to leave it in the corner and build a small closet for it, plus I feel that if it stays inside the tank will be less prone for temperature change which...

Thanks! Yep I went back and forth but the more I read the more I decided it was worth the small extra cost in the grand scheme of things. Oh yeah, I have big plans for the inside. The problem is I work 5-6 days a week 12 hr shifts so my time to work on it is limited. I did get a new toy...

Thanks! The stone is finished out front, I opted to use the same stone I used under the concrete slab to go from my existing blacktop driveway back to the garage. I may in the future cement or blacktop it but for now the stones will do just fine Started moving some of my equipment in...

Thanks, I'm in Cumberland county down towards Vineland. Yeah I don't have scaffolding or anything so I'm thinking that the roof of the machine would work best. 14' ceilings are a little rough to work with! Thanks, I used Shirk pole buildings. I got a quote from pioneer but their wait time...

Thank you! Thanks, it's been alot of work but I'm hoping it will be worth it in the end :willy_nil I'd like to keep my backhoe in there on occasion and I sometimes work on taller trucks so I'd rather have the larger doors and not need them rather than be stuck with too small of a door in...

Things have been progressing, haven't posted much for updates I apologize. I insulated the sides for where the slab will go with 2" foamboard View from the front before the stone went down, I look like a toddler next to the 12' doors :o Graded the inside Stone going down Vapor...
