Thanks- I checked out your build before I started mine. I thought about doing the a similar thing with a section of my original garage, but my brick was in much worse shape than yours. I wish mine came with a Porsche like yours did!

Used rigid insulation on gable ends and 7/16 OSB over top. Got OSB floor for attic installed. A little storage More organizing A buddy gave me his 1984 Honda VF700S Sabre. It's a cool old "muscle bike". It's got a V4 and around 80hp. Hasn't run for years so I'm working on rebuilding...

All inspections were done so I cut out the hidden electrical boxes. I used adjustable depth boxes to make this easy. Starting electrical The 2x6x24' ceiling joists are not strong enough to put a storage attic on top of so I bought 2x4s to put on the top and bottom. This increases the...

Moisture barrier and steel mesh. Moisture barrier is key for max strength and longevity of concrete. It's also important if you go with an epoxy or similar floor because if moisture comes from below it will destroy the coating. Concrete blankets added to keep moisture heat in the...

The concrete prep has started. It's a monolithic slab with 12" footings. I measured the projected slab depth ranging from 3-4 inches and even less in a few places. I've told the GC to get at least 4" everywhere before they pour. I requested they use a vapor barrier and nylon fibers in the mix.

My neighbor helped me cut down a tree that was on the property line. Demo work is done!

I bought my first house in 2012 close to downtown in Denver, CO. The original garage was 20'wide and 18'deep double wide brick with a load bearing wall in the center. It worked for parking one small car and some storage and workshop on the other side, but was never ideal. I like working on cars...
