The block was purchased at Anchor concrete (http://www.anchorcp.com/). They are called Keystone/intermediate on page 38 of the catalog. If I recall they weighed 64/65 lbs each and cost roughly $5.00 each.

Actually it was just more of an after-thought, as it might interfere with the water runoff when it rains. The fence (my neighbors) is the true low spot on my block, The water runs down on both our properties and settles in the back yards. I am afraid that even doing this it will cause the...

Well fellow addicts, It has taken me some time to get here (6 more months) but, I have finally gotten around to some more progress. I put up some drywall, a few cabinets and gotten the blacktop driveways done. A few pics............ I also had them fill and grade the "shoot" between the...

Yes and no to the drafting table........I do expect to use it as a drafting table when needed but the design is actually for a keyboard/mouse pad. I plan on mounting a 26" to 32" LCD screen TV/monitor on the wall right above it, you can see the outlet and cable box covers in this shot. I have...

My humble lil place.....recently brought to where she is now.

crewbus.......Very nice looking garage, That bug is awesome. I suppose you like craftsman stuff, The people at Sears must love you.

Thanks rikbolen, I didn't do the work but I did do the design. The contractor I used had a few weeks between jobs and was willing to provide the labor (at a cost) for whatever I had in mind. I oversaw the project and made the neccessary decisions about any changes to get it done. The retaining...

mickeypat, Thanks for the reply. I kinda like the PVC fence too, What makes the fence in my opinion is the retaining wall it is atop of though I also had it put on my steps to the house which ties it in real well too Keith

The dimensions are 26' x 26', 10ft ceilings with 2-9' x 8' doors. I have 2ft block walls and 8ft studs, I went with roof trusses 16"o/c so I didn't have any columns.

The tarp is there because I have a slight oil leak from the car and have not (until now) had a place to get the car up in the air to get under it. I also will eventually coat the floor with something and don't want to bust my a$$ trying to get any stains out. I do have a bunch of pics from the...

Hello fellow addicts, I have a few more pics of my garage to share. I am still gonna put some upper cabinets over the 2 work-benches and I'm thinking shelves along the side walls after I get some gypsum board for the upper part of the walls. Here is what it's all about......... I have...

Sorry if I was a little vague in my post. I am having a seperate 150amp service panal feeding the garage from the pole. I will have two meters, one for the house and one for the garage. My concerns were because I plan on running wires through a buried 1 1/4" PVC conduit that I put in during...

Thanks guys....I have been obsessed with trying to figure these questions out.

I've tried searching for this to no avail, Maybe one of you guys can assist. -I have recently begun to finish off the interior of my new garage. I am installing kraft-faced R-13 insulation in the walls, What is the opinion of also installing a plastic barrier over the kraft barrier? Does that...

I am in Manchester, NJ, West of Toms River and 15min to Seaside Heights (aka "The Shore").
