After fifteen years of a 4-post I decided to replace it with a single post. I keep saying to myself...why didn't I do this sooner? Removing the posts has made the biggest change to how this space is used, hands down. Yes, it's expensive but well worth it... so much that I'm going to install another.

I totally forgot about this thread....eleven years have passed, wow. This is the current state...filled to the brim, as usual.

you're doing fine...keep pics and info coming......

Beautiful start....

The 20" premium wheels on my CT5 are a part time job. The only/best way for me to clean properly is to use a microfiber by hand.....

Your reasoning puts no value on your labor and the time value of the money involved to build. Everyone does it differently so there is not "right or wrong" here. When I did my 600 sf garage addition you see in my avatar, I sub'd the work that I couldn't or didn't want to do and ended up spending...

Very nice build. The finish details typically take a lot of time. My question is, why didn't you just do a CBS shell? Would have been very quick, far less labor intense and less money.....

Very nice start! 6" slab all around with 4,000 psi should cover anything you want to do....that's what I did.

AVG, what an OUTSTANDING progression and result!!! I'm impressed....

Gentlemen, I have a drill that I've know as a kid. I watched my Dad use it and I have tried as a little guy. I would love to identify it (have looked in the catalog but there are many). I know that this came from his father's shed. I would like to restore it but I'm afraid to do the wrong thing...

As soon as you get rid of the vapor barrier you should be good... do not seal the slab. My home was built in 1975 and have never had a moisture issue. I am a block from the New River and have the water table at a depth of about five feet. Fourteen years ago I had to put a vapor barrier under the...

Yes, it's either a Lion Ratchet Braces 870 thru 873 or 769 thru 774...i think.

Wow, looking very nice so far!!

It's not "really" the money. It's the fact that buyers don't care and will accept a garage like that in a expensive home. Do you really think that a builder selling a 3 (if there is such a thing today),4 or $500,000+ dollar home is leaving a garage unfinished to save a couple hundred dollars...
