Nearing the finish line. Hope to have the paint finished today and the rest of the equipment in and set up. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

Getting closer every day! I have a few days off coming up and hope to get everything finished up! Here’s a little preview Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

It is 8’ tall 12’ wide. Flooring showed up. This stuff is heavy! Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

Bit of an update... Insulation, vapour barrier and drywall is done except for mud and tape. I absolutely hate hanging drywall. Earlier this week our electrician came in and finished the connection from house panel to sub panel in the garage. We now have power and lights! No more extension...

For sure! I’ve put in 10 sockets inside and will have access to the sub panel to add more if needed, like say a 240 plug for a welder. I’m installing 8 6” LED blade lights rated just over 1000 lumens and 5000K colour. I have my fingers crossed it is enough. If it’s too much, I’ll have them on...

Haven’t updated this for a while now but I’ve started to do some more. Exterior is completed other than some touch ups on some of the wood trim. Interior is next. We have decided to convert the garage over to a home gym however keep it easily reversible back to a workshop/garage. I’ll post...

Haven’t had much time to post in the last week but figured while I work on organizing all my stuff in here I would update. Garage is up and in lock up. I’m slowly working on doing the siding now that the soffit got finished today but at least I can move stuff in. The garage will probably sit in...

Yes we are doing 10' walls. Contractor starts tomorrow. Figures a few days to get it into lock up and then I will take over from there with siding. Plan is to finish the outside first, then I will move on to interior/electrical late summer/fall or next spring. Pictures to come over the...

Weather held and got the concrete pour done today. Looks like it tuned out great! Now to wait a week to start framing!

Well we are FINALLY getting a start! The pad was started late yesterday afternoon but today the weather turned. They might not make it back in until early next week now. The contractor who is going to get it into lock up is standing by waiting so I hope to have it up and locked up by May long...

No real updates as for now. Everything is scheduled to start in a couple of weeks once all the snow is gone. There is still a good 18-20 inches of snow throughout my back yard. Trying to find someone to come in with a bobcat to clear it off to start the thaw. Because of the style of foundation...

We kept the wood that was cut down and shared it with family that use it for heat in the winter months. My wife's father used to be in the forestry industry and cut some of the smaller trees for us so they took the majority. I have a friend down the road that recently struck it big on one of...

I've been lurking around here for a little while now and figured it was time to start posting. In the next 6 weeks or so, I am going to finally break ground on my first garage build. Back up to last summer, and my wife and I purchased our first home. The plan at that time was to build a 20x28...
