Finally back in the game, now have the time looks like foundation is at $6700; the dig will be <2k prolly(friend has been doing for decades) trusses come in at $3000 delivered for 26foot, 10pitch with storage/attic space 9 foot doors, 8 or 9 high; hope to iron the details this week

that's the problem, we don't have anyone here posting that pours concrete for a living I will ask the foundation ppl; either way 9foot wide is the way to go, with 'splitting' the remainding 8 feet to make the front look proportioned

26x38 garage I'm building here in CT, free standing I don't own any 3/4 ton trucks, do I need an 8' high door? with 9' foot doors, 26-18 is 8ft, 2ft on each end with 4 in the middle? This is where I'm stuck, the foundation opening will be 9' 4.5"(compared to other shops in the area)

that is awesome!! I just don't think it would fit will in my area for looks

Stuart, that shop is Outstanding!!! the roofline is the same as my 1918 house(small hip area) that would give me over 400sq of storage space

this is what I'm talking about, I guess you lose about a few feet on each side vs. rafters??

I plan on submitting plans this week for a 28x34' garage Town size limit is 1000sq/ft TRUSSES??? 1. looks like the attic truss will get some decent storage space up top, am I just being lazy to avoid rafters?? I've got a 5 man crew with much more experience than myself to complete the...

that is exactly what I'm looking to do; simple

Free is always good, I do realize it's a good investment for plans Some areas I'm looking for guidance 1. Basic layout that is proven 2. storage area for 2nd level depending on pitch? 3. I'm not a builder, just have a bunch of friends that were prior framers/builders to help with the project

2010, time to get this project started :) may chop this into a 2 car

I have the plot plans and have talked to the town, 1k sq ft is the max, I've gone over the easements, the footprint is all set I need room for a 12ft high lift

I plan on bldg a 38deep by 26wide ft garage, would like to allow room for a Bendpak 2post lift in the back corner Anyone have any good ideas?
