You must be up by Delbert/Singing Hills area. Nice area. I think we always wish we'd gone bigger! Even I do!

Forgot to check back in on this, whoops. If you didn't already do this, I used Chase Kolberg of Complete Koncrete out of Peyton. Didn't have a problem coming out this far or lining up the mud to do the same, which can be problematic with contractors who are accustomed to working in town.

Yeah, maybe I should have spaced it out a little, but I get rolling with uploading pics and writing. :) How big are you thinking for your future garage? GO BIGGER. Yep, they delivered it as I spec'd out. The walk door in the front is 4' wide, and the engineered drawings reflected the column...

I'd just run it as needed, unless you wanted to do a commercial style lead/lag setup with two pumps.

Sorry for the lack of updates. I appreciate the comments and kudos! It's been a labor of love, as carpentry is not my strong suit nor passion. Keeping my eye on the goal of being able to work on cars better and easier is what keeps me rolling. Several of you commented that I should get a real...

G-ManBart, do you have any pics of your setup? Sounds very similar to what I have in my head. I heat the house with wood as often as I can, so I have a decent woodpile and am usually scrounging more. That's why I'm leaning toward wood heat, though I'll need to make sure it's not a waste in the...

Thanks for the input. Slab is 4" nominal, nothing crazy. I'll be doing the work myself so there is that. I have an old woodstove that we've had knocking around for years that would heat a smaller space with ease, and I can just picture a gloriously warm space in the shop when it's frigid outside. :D

I have a 40x60x12 post-frame shop building (link in sig) that I use for working on cars, storage, and basically all the usual shop stuff. However, it's well-ventilated (ridge vent, eave vents) and only has foil bubble insulation inside, and the sheer size of it means that effectively heating the...

Thanks y'all. I'll get more current with the thread soon.

Haha hi Shannon. Same one that replaced my red 2.3T swapped '92 hatch that got hit. I don't think I still have the downpipe that I picked up from you at WFC, though.

Build thread is up! http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=5890679#post5890679

We also really wanted at least a little bit of wall to provide shelter from any wind, but I had a couple of work projects that I had to focus on, so we hired the same guys. They failed to put up the insulation, and the steel shipment was actually short one panel (which Hansen made right...

I've been into cars since I was 16, with the obsession growing year by year, and spent plenty of time wrenching in apartment parking lots, but always knew that I wanted my own garage or shop. When I and my then-girlfriend (now wife) decided to move outside of town six years ago, we started...

I've been a member here forever, but have always just lurked. I've been in the process of building/outfitting my 40x60 shop for the last three years, and finally got a slab poured last weekend, so I've decided it's time to make a build thread. Uploading pics now, will post up shortly.
