This update pretty much catches you guys up with the progress thusfar, weve got the finishing of the thru-way ceiling, the finishing of the shelf in the one car. the painting of the one car walls and ceiling, used Break-Through paint seems like pretty high quality stuff, then after much debate...

In this update Ive got a picture of the first coat of paint on in the one car section, and then the remaining pictures are all of the thru-way ceiling construction. Its funny how looking at the pictures it seemed like the ceiling went so fast, whereas in reality it took upwards of 3 weeks!! Lots...

These are some pictures of the outside work that we did, not exactly in order but you get the idea. The first two are of the retaining walls that I put in, as well as a couple of siding pictures, a picture of the work we did over the garage doors, and lastly some of the beginning of the thruway...

ooh sorry for the confusion, we started this project in august of last year... that picture was taken around thanksgiving 2008. But we are from norther illinois, it can get kinda sorta cold.

Ha, there was the initial little comments of "What are you guys thinking?" and what not, but she came around once the idea that she wouldn't have to scrape her windshield in the winter anymore.

In this update I've got some pictures of the final things we did before the insulation/drywall in the one-car. The first picture shows the 6 can lights we put in, they are rated for 100W so they put off some light, and they are also rated for use with insulation. In the finished product we are...

agreed on the conduit. ever since we did some remodel work on our house and found some of the romex chewed through by mice, we have always used conduit. Jimmy

These are some of the pictures of the radiant heat install and the whole system, this took quite a lot of time and I don’t think that the pictures fully do the process justice, but you can get the idea. We’ve got three pumps to supply the system, One pump for the one car, one pump for the three...

as far as toys go we have my 67 camaro still in the works, my dads 41 buick, some daily drivers (2500 GMC, Canyon, Tahoe), a ski doo snowmobile, and many assorted tractors and machines for maintaining the property. I dont really have many pics of them, heres one i found of the buick when he...

Included in these pictures are some more roof sheathing pictures. A couple pictures of the copula going up over the Coacheree (The drive thru part). a somewhat overall view of the garage setup. a picture of me putting up christmas lights, but it gives some idea of the new setup. The new...

I am officially reviving this build. For those of you that had seen it before and then were wondering what happened. I kinda forgot about this thread and got all wound up in building the garage/preparing for college. But now that I am at school with many pictures on my computer I think it is...

I hoped this worked. You can see the excavation that we did here. The concrete retaining wall held back a hill of dirt that went all the way up to the base of the siding on the existing garage. That all had to get taken out as it would be in the way. Don't know if you can see it in the pictures...

Hello everyone, I am new to the site. Actually I've been on here quite a few times, so now I think that it is only fair that I share the project that I have been working on. In early August of last year my dad and I decided we needed a new place to store and work on all our junk! So when my mom...
