Good call out on the slab trench, that was my preference but my builder prefers the piers. I'm also going 5" deep throughout and we'll see where we land once digging happens. I also like the trench because it gives a little extra flexibility and tolerance for final post placement. Thanks for...

For reference my build thread: Suburban Hobby Garage Planning HVAC for my detached garage. Central Ohio location, well insulated new construction. First floor is 28' x 30' x 12.5' with dual 10' x 9' insulated doors. Open staircase to storage loft above 30' x 14' x 7.5'. I ran Man-J calcs...

Happy New Year! HOA approval is in, finally. A lot of back and forth and it would've been much quicker and simpler to hire an architect to work with them but I was able to do it on my own and save $$$. We're deep into winter so not sure when we'll break ground for slab but at least we have...

Good call out!

@Clemson13 Yes! Currently waiting on HOA review. Initial city permitting is conditionally OK with survey and then can proceed with HOA sign-off. Builder took a little longer than hoped pulling together elevation drawings and then I had to put them on a titleblock drawing set to submit. At...

That is fair, I'll take it as a compliment :) Jeff, just found your build thread. I need to pour a big one and sit down to get through yours but it looks like we have very similar tastes in cars, home projects, etc. I'll share some pics of my garage residents soon but also heavy German...

Thanks for the input! Some replies and additional ruminations: Electric: I'd love to have infinite power but I think 100A should just cover me for the lifts, outlets, lights, compressor, welder. Not sure how HVAC options play into that yet. Lighting: I'm leaning towards all in-ceiling LED...

Been a long time lurker. Over the years I've learned a ton on this site, been through a bunch of garages and done the best I could to make them my own with what I had. We bought our "forever home until you push me into assisted living because I can't take care of myself anymore" home over...

Are you blowing out towards the garage doors? I’d orient that way and vent horizontal straight out the back wall. Would be easiest method. I’d keep an air gap around the round pipe in the wall thimble between pipe and insulation just to be sure but I believe they’re able to take batt fill...

Yep, that is the plan! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got it. Didn’t mean to come off pushy just seemed conversation diverted to slab construction and thought maybe I was using wrong nomenclature. Anyways, sealed joints and started painting foundation wall and tile expansion area. Decided to paint entrance, will paint entire apron in spring...

Maybe this will help explain better. By "lining up thresholds", I mean getting both black tile edges as close to the concrete edge at the entrance. Maybe I should just line up the service door and paint the main entrance "gap" black with patio/porch paint. I can touch up as needed and it...

Yes, entrance is lower than slab. Early 90’s Midwest construction but still have sloped slab for drainage. Here is entrance pic for reference. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have TrueLock HD Extreme tiles but this should be applicable across all brands. I have two garage doors on different threshold dimensions and trying to plan how I want to line up the ramp edges? In the picture, the door with main use is to the right and the edging is backed off several...
