I looked at all of them in late 2019 and went with the ATLAS PVL10 ($3,100 + tax out the door). I believe I got it thru Best Buy Automotive. I paid an installer $750.00 to pick it up and install it. They were finished before lunch time it was three gentlemen. I am not one for farming out work...

Looks good. Nice work

We had the pipe to our shower head fail last Saturday. I had to cut out the bad sheetrock to make the repair. I fixed the bad pipe and patched the sheet rock than taped and mudded. It took me four passes with the mud to get it paint ready. I let it dry overnight each time.

Nice looking box. Enjoy!

I am no engineer, I am sure someone on the GJ will know better than me and will chime in. The way I understand it, the X braces add stability, they also are used to true up the frame when erecting.

I did the clearing myself, but I let someone else put up the building. I thought about putting the building up myself, but the reality is it was to big of a job for me by myself. Clearing the land by myself, took a lot out of me. I paid $9K for a crew to do it and it was delivered and up in a...

Building looks great! You did a lot of work in a short amount of time especially with all that traveling, you should be very proud. It took me twice as long to do similar work when we built our 45x55x14 5 years ago. Your shop looks way bigger than ours for some reason. Below is a few pics of my...

I have no issues with it surface mounted, never considered hiding it. I always liked the way it looked. It has allowed me to add circuits as I add equipment. I also used the Rapid Air system. Keep us posted with some pics.

From what I read on GJ that cost is probably pretty fair nowadays. Make sure you get a several quotes, we did and the quotes varied by as much as 30%. We did not go with the cheapest we went with who answered our questions the best. Do your research and move at your own pace in deciding. Even...

Boy do I feel lazy now. I also surfaced mounted everything. LOL

Go as big as your wallet and wife will comfortably allow you to. I can not recall anybody ever saying "I wish I had less room to work with". Remember to make your concrete pad thick enough where you plan on putting your lift. Keep us posted on your progress and good luck!

I really like those garage doors. Shop looks great. In regards to lighting I went with 9 13,000lum UFO LEDs on my 45x50x14 shop. They light up the whole shop quite well. When I got them 5 years ago they were $49.99 a piece. Not sure what they go for now. I like the idea of the plywood walls for...

One of the main reasons we moved from NJ to Georgia (in 2017) was for me to have a shop. It took me several months to get our house set up the way we wanted. Then I concentrated on clearing the trees on a 80x100 spot for a 45x50 pad. This was done by myself (while still working a full time job)...

Congrats. Looks Great. Will you be putting on gutters?

Looking good keep us posted
