And we are started!

Appreciate the insight, I actually started at 28’ then 30’ now 32’ lol. I plan on parking my truck in one bay and if I park closer to the middle I have enough room to fully open doors etc. Yes if I had stuff along that wall where the door is it will be in the way. Other side will be atv with...

Yeah I assumed 5” will be fine for me.. thx

Thanks for input. I’m having the foundation wall be 8” higher then slab. We are going to be paving our entire driveway once it’s done. Yes, we will have windows in the garage doors to allow light in! I thought about an alternative heat source, I figure I want to insulate the floor anyways and...

Here’s the link I was looking at. https://www.bendpak.com/car-lifts/concrete-floor-requirements/ But is says this so maybe if you don’t have 4-1/4” And you need to cut it out then it needs to be 12”? “The information contained in this appendage supersedes any other information given in the...

Thanks, did you put them near the door and slope the concrete in that direction or kind of in the middle of where a vehicle would park?

Another question for anyone with infloor heat, is a floor drain necessary? Or the heat from the floor dry any water/melted snow up pretty fast? I’m not going to be washing anything in the garage.

Yeah on the site is says previous requirements and new requirements and it went from about 4” to needing 12”. Big jump.

Have you seen many issues with two posts for the average joe on 5” of reinforced concrete? I may take the chance then I can install it anywhere after.. assuming I can get hydro to it.

Has anyone installed a hoist recently looking at either a two post 9-10,000lb hoist or I seen smaller ones like a scissor lift and lifts truck/car 3’ off the ground good for basic maintenance/tires etc. Everything I read basically 5-6” reinforced concrete is enough however I see on benpacks...

We have a double car garage attached to the house with a 16’ door. But how we want the front of the shop with the second bay bumped out won’t work unless we change the size then won’t be symmetrical. We are doing 12’ walls with scissors trusses so ceilings will be vaulted so we have ceiling...

My thought was to maybe have my infloor heat set up under the stairs and then build a room in middle under loft for the bathroom. Maybe 3’x6’ or something.. As for workbench/tool storage I plan on having that against the wall on the left side. From approximately the first window to the loft so...

I plan on having a big sink to wash hands etc, figured I’m running plumbing anyways may as well put in a toilet but not sure where. If I put it at back of the building then it’s a longer way to run the plumbing

Well we have the permit approved, plan to start in the spring. Here are the drawings, I’m open to suggestions. I have been thinking of making it a bit longer 32’x60’ but didn’t want it to look funny being so long and narrow. The loft is going to be a small office, storage space. Below is where...

Im in waterford, so not to far!
