My wife and I made a decision on the placement of the garage. I want to thank all who made suggestions and all the suggestions where given a lot of thought. The orientation we decided on was based on a lot of criteria and I think it will do well for my purposes. Our contractor is framing in...

Thanks again for all the replies and they are all under consideration. As the job starts and progresses in the next few weeks I will post pictures.

The size is mandated by cost. With the cost and upgrades on the new house and the unexpected costs of selling our existing home. (new well:sad: and lowering the price due to economy) the line had to be drawn somewhere. Besides I restored a 1952 Hudson and a 1975 TR6 in a 16X20 yard barn a 2...

Thanks guys that was helpful. I am going to have the gable end and the doors face the side of the house. I will place two windows facing the road.

This is a picture of a new house we are building, the attached garage is 24X24 and the ceiling is 11' high with a 8:12 roof pitch. I am also building a 24X24 detached garage next to the house. It will be about 30' to the right of the house and approximately 15' back from the houses front...

Where do you live? I was just looking at that type of shed at an Amish lumber yard. They build it 12 feet wide and any length you want. the one I was looking at was 24' long and the price was $2175.00. Floor and sides were ship lap hemlock. They have a transporter who has hauled them from...

If you go there stop at the Museum first. $10.00 off coupon for store purchases. They are just finishing the second Pontiac Safari Wagon and the '39 LaSalle convertible is gorgeous. More items in the store and special buys than in the catalog. I thought their prices were better than...

Being a painting contractor for over twenty years BM's Satin Impervo is a great product, but in a garage situation I would prefer two others. If you want to brush and roll the finish use PPG porch and floor Alkyd base enamel, three coats sanding with 220 between coats. If you want to spray...

This is a good thread, but what is surprising is that very few are showing pictures of the projects they have started or completed. I do not think I have posted these on this board, but here is what I have done over the past four years. Four pictures from start to where I am now. Lets see...

There can be more than one way to prep drywall for painting depending on the level of finish you want and the level of finish the drywall finisher left you with. . From your post you tacked clothed your interior house walls, which is defiantly overkill, you I assume are a high detail individual...

Flame out: I forgot about this place. 20X20 garage for $4900.00 http://onedaygarage.com/

The Area Shoppe is now online; theareashopper.com. It has a lot of wholesale building products if you decide to do your own construction. Here's what I found that I was looking for: BUILDINGGARAGES 24x32 garage, vinyl siding, 30 year single roof, cement floor, (2) 9x7 insulated overhead...

Remember when you are calculating size if you go over 1000SF you will have to have the building inspected. This is according to the new PA building code enacted a couple of years ago. Unless it is attached then it will have to be inspected anyway. Also I did not see roof and floor pricing in...

I did something similar to what you are thinking of doing about 6 years ago. At that time I had no intention of using it for vehicles and because of that I made a couple of mistakes. I built a 16X20 yard barn with a loft. The peak is at 13 feet from the floor with four foot wide floor...

Racedeck: I don't mean to highjack the post, but I was on your site looking at the gallery and is that '36 Terraplane pick up one of yours or a customers?
