Hey neighbor - We built a 30x48 garage last year and went with pole barn style construction for the shell so we didn't have to pour a foundation, just poured the garage floor once the shell was up. I had the shell built but have been working on finishing the interior myself as money allows and...

OK, summer has come and I need to get serious about insulating the garage. Need some ideas on the most economical methods to insulate and cool the place. Right now I have bubble wrap under the roof and plan on leaving the trusses open. Walls are going to be sheeted in OSB painted white...

kmoon - That was when I lived in Livermore going up the back side of Altamont pass. It was always pretty cool riding up there and watching those machines whirl.

adpprop - That's a great idea! There's all kinds of stuff running around in my head, but if I commit real estate to the items, I may get a better idea of what actually fits and works in the space. kmoon - Yep, we're going with concrete, once I get the funds...

Nice looking shop! I'm in the same boat...jut got the shell of my 30x48 done and I'm out of cash and saving up to begin finishing it off. I dig that floor! http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/album.php?albumid=4953

Exploring options for my new garage floor. So what happens if you spill a liquid on this flooring? Will it penetrate between the joints and end up underneath the tiles?

Well the building is up... I tried uploading pics to an album to show the progress, but it changed the order from how I uploaded the pictures. Have pics from the clearing of the lot through the current stage of having a solid shell. Ready to start laying out my electrical, lighting, work and...

That's a nice shop you have there lake... and I like the idea of hanging plastic to try out different locations before committing to building a wall Matt - Thanks. We have the shell up and framed out for the garage doors. It's too cold to lay the pad yet so I think I'll spend some time on the...

Thanks Mark, I'll check out the grizzly! The height decision was based on budget alone. I was able to go wider and still afford to get it done. I wish I could put a door on the gable end, but based on our property layout, I can only drive up to the side wall.

I was thinking that I would need a foot above for the track and opener. Is there a way to go to the full wall height?

We've gone and cleared the trees (including VW sized root balls), built a retaining wall fit for a Chinese emperor to be proud of and are just about to start the actual build and I thought I would get some advice on the layout. I'll work on getting some pics of the aforementioned site work, but...
