The County APPROVED our concept! We finally have approval from the County allowing us to move forward into the construction drawing portion of our garage design! The architect also updated some of the renderings of the garage space as well as the upstairs area. I'm now starting to talk with...

OK... So we are getting close to being able to start quoting out the garage. I really need to find a MEP engineering firm that will work on residential projects. I need to figure out how to bring water out to the building, how to connect to the septic, how to configure the HVAC, and also how to...

Thanks so much for watching and the comment. After going through the land sale process (3 years) and now the design process (1.5 years and ongoing), YES 100% YES the government red tape is obsurd! I had to realistically set my goals to hopefully have the shell of the garage completed by the time...

Thanks Craig! I'm glad you found the thread. Yeah, I can be a bit long winded in some of the videos, and I know they are not for everyone. My average watch time for this video is hovering around 9 minutes with roughly 130 views. Some people like to share pictures and write paragraphs. I prefer...

Well, I could really use the help of the forum for some ideas around the mechanical room, bathroom, and stairs locations/directions. I've been going round and round about how to properly do this so I maximize my mechanical room space and obstruct the upstairs as little as possible. I'm worried...

Keep up the great work!

Well it is hard to believe my last post was 10 months ago, but progress continues! I had to switch architect's, which set me back a little bit on time. However, it gave me the opportunity to review a few additional concepts. Let me know your thoughts on the latest concepts, which one you would...

Have you gotten approval for yours yet, or where are you at in the process? It is a grind but I think it will be worth it. :beer:

DESIGN is underway! and I am very excited to get your feedback on the stairs location as well as how high we should go with the mechanical room. Finally some progress as we move towards breaking ground in the spring. Thanks again for all of the support along the way! I hope you guys like the...

My last post was on 7/5/2020 saying the land sale was approved. It took from that point until this week to finally get to closing and sign the documents. Building this garage has been nothing but delays, but I'm excited to finally have closed on the sale! CHEERS :drink:

I'm building my test rig to do a side by side with the Milwaukee M18 and the Dewalt corded. I'm thinking suction only right now. Any specific test you guys would want to see?

Fathers Day was good to me this year and I picked up a new battery powered M18 Milwaukee 2 gallon shop vac. I'm thinking about doing a comparison test between this one and my current Dewalt corded vacuum. What are you guys using for small vacuums in your shops?

It has been such a long road to get the land sale completed, but the Town has FINALLY APPROVED the land sale to go through! It has been almost a 3 year process to get to this phase. I feel like I can finally start a "BUILD THREAD" now! I've been dreaming about building a garage on this property...
