Slow response, missed the notice of a reply! The doors are 10x10 but I had them framed at 10 wide by 9 high because I wanted more above storage and possible future loft and 8' is the max clearance I need for entry so 9' is a precaution. I ordered from Big Buildings Direct, but Eagle Carports...

I will say that I REALLY wanted to go stick built, but when I got the bid for the trusses it was almost half the cost of the entire building delivered and assembled that I ended up with so my budget made the choice. In the end, I'm really happy to have what I do and still plan to add a loft...

They are, walls are shorter, but peak is higher. You don't get much from those 'buy your plans online' website, but I picked a plan I liked and had a few rounds of modifications. The trusses in the image here are listed as (builder to select trusses) because they didn't want to draw up a mixed...

So at this point in a few posts I've covered about about 20 years of mental dreaming, a couple hundred decisions, 9 months of trying to get surveyors to show up (finally found a responsive company), and 6 months of permits and progress. I have a decent set of stick built plans that I paid for...

Here is an overhead of my odd land layout but I'm happy to have it, prices have gone nuts here like everywhere. P.S. If you are in Texas and re-plat your land, make sure that they retain your homestead property tax exemption from the original property. Ours was dropped, apparently by error and...

I got lucky in that they only charged me for 1/4 of the transformer because there are 3 lots nearby that could someday be sold for a house and use that same transformer. But it was still about $3500 in assessment, 1/4 purchase, new meter and setup. The trenching around my existing back yard...

I didn't get pictures of the electrical in the process, but it's shown here as the spray foam went on the walls and ceiling. For the spray foam, I really do not intend to heat or cool the space often or expect it to remain a constant temp range. I'm used to the heat here in central Texas and...

Had to have dinner in the shop the first night, this was a milestone night for me. Sorry about the blurry pic

This doesn't look like a lot of excess ground left behind from the slab crew but the assembly team would not have been able to get the equipment and delivery trailer in place to do the work if I had not cleaned up the land first. The company I ordered from was estimating 6-8 weeks for delivery...

Hello fellow GJ'ers! I've been on here a long time and redesigned the attached 20x20 at my old house a number of times with ideas from here and then we moved to a new house with a tandem garage and i did the same. I have contributed ideas and feedback here and there but never a full build. We...

Very cool story and nice restoration, thanks for sharing that!

First, nice garage! Obviously well planned and looking great. Care to share that long series of events, was it random or did you specifically go looking for it through any of the BMX forums, or other sites? I would love to try and get back the 1990 Haro Master I had.

Nice projects! Looking forward to updates on your shop and the 40. Do you have a build thread going on the 40 over on MUD?

I've had 40+ vehicles, but this group are the only ones I really regret selling. 1997 F350 4x4 Crew Cab with the 7.3 1969 FJ40 - TBI 350 1982 FJ60 - TBI 350 converted back to carb'd - incredible truck

SOLD 80 gallon 7hp Husky air compressor - Lago Vista, TX (near Austin), $850. Need to clear some space, selling my house and renting for a while. I don't want to move this one over and over again. Not a lot of use, please feel free to PM me with any questions. For GJ members only, I will...
