Where did you get the plans and how long did it take to build it? JAB

At one point in time there was a guy and his dad who built a very nice stick frame garage where the guy's dad did the majority of the work himself using a tractor with a bucket, etc. The guy wanted to build a Cobra with his dad at a later date. The original info on the garage came from another...

428, You ever post on the Performance Years board? Tom V.

More like a Henry Ford Museum lay-out vs a garage. Very Nice. Tom V.

Really liked the technology from that area. Tom V.

I built a solar water system for my garden shed but it was no where near as big as your building volume. It was 20 long by 14 wide by 12 high. I scrounged the following parts: A used but excellent shape swimming pool pump. 10 fiberglass 55 gallon drums (from car wash places. The drums...

I made an insert that fits into the pivot hole of the floor jack pad. This insert has the ability to allow me to chain the cross-member to the insert. Once the insert is securely attached to the cross-member i can move the frame around without worrying about the frame falling off the floor jack...

My uncle ran a Pontiac dealership for many years that had the exact same lay-out for the showroom and the main garage. He did not have the extra building on the right of the pictures. Very cool. They remodeled the building several years ago and all of that history disappeared. Tom V.

I have ONE QPH4A electric heater from Q-Mark. It does a very good job in the 24x24 two car garage when the ambient is about 40 degrees out. Takes about 2 hours to bring the thermal mass up in the garage (see another post on that deal). A rarely see any difference in the electric bill as...

To make your grid design, what row height and column widths did you use. It looks nice. Tom V.

Your Dad's primary effort (by himself) gave me a lot of inspiration to try and do the same thing once I retire in a few years. Thanks! Tom V.

ShayC5, I do boosting for a living for Ford and always admire quality workmanship, very nice. E-Mail me some time. [email protected]

I had a friend who built a garage/ shop on Long Island. It was very much like your deal except that he had a large garage door so that he could store a friend's boat. The final inspector assumed it was his. He built a work pit, filled it with sand to within 2" of the slab and then poured...

Now that is a very nice looking garage. Tom V.

I don't see why the hanging ceiling would not work "In Theory" with the only issue being how to seal the edges. A friend has a Pole Barn that is used to store LARGE equipment like a combine in the winter. What he did was actually make a "stick structure" inside the barn with a gas furnace...
