My 2 cents and I am by no means a structural engineer or contractor, but I would spend the money into bracing the **** out of the building. First get some more trusses under that roof, I am not sure what kind of weather you have there, but for the moves sake alone. Then run a pressure treated...

The concrete garage is the house garage, the other one is the 28x28 and yes there is already stuff making its way to the attic with ply down on the floor. the house garage I need to finish stuffing the smaller joist and sills with insulation then 5/8 fire barrier is going on the ceiling.. there...

My goal after building my 28x28 was to end up with only my coal bin, two cars and a garbage pail in my attached garage. well I have suceeded. now I need to sheetrock the ceiling and figure out what to do to paint the walls and add some character to it. Any ideas? There is a photo of the 28x28...

Thanks. Close.. we are in Northeast PA. Can't wait to snowmobile right from the garage. Hopefully our rain this summer will continue and get us dumped on with snow this winter.. I love it, and we have not seen big snow in a long time.

Have the house wrap up.. a little wrinkled, but up none the less.. Hopefully I can find the right door for me soon and then get the siding on.

I do not have updated photos of the shingles yet, but they will be on today. I started putting them on with the wife this weekend and her brother is finishing the job because of my work schedule. I am shopping for a door now.

Yeah, I hired a family member to help me frame and get it to the point where you see it. So 8k includes labor thus far, the slab, the sub-base material, the lumber, trusses, tar paper, naiuls, sheeting and shingles (Which I will install). With the door and siding I will be at about 10k and...

Thanks... The cost right now is just touching 8k. I still need to buy siding and a door.. that will run about 2k for those. My labor will shingle, side and install the doors.

More prgress: The toys to be stored... View from the corner of my poperty facing the vines.

There is one window in the front right of the garage door, there will also be a 9 lite entry door. I wanted to keep it simple and not loose walls space. we poured over 6" on average of 3500 psi with doubled rebar edge and wire mesh thru the floating pad. The sub base was lifted and compacted...

Thanks for the comments.. The trusses are going up today, just talked to my brother in law who is putting those up for me. Thanks on the Fox.. it is a 93' Reef Blue white leather with a 5spd.. took me awhile to find it, I had to go thru alot of junk cars and ads to get it. But now it will have...

More photos.. trying to get allot done in between work and the rain. We had extra mud.. so we poured a half a$$ aprin on the existing garage, then cut it square.

Well we started Saturday lifting shale, compacting.. lifting shale.. compacting, then lifting shale.. compacting... see where I am going with this... ughhh Final forming was yesterday and today we poured 16 yards, I over calculated and ended up pouring an aprin on my exisitng garage. Here are...

Maybe I mis-spoke slightly. I need help calculating the SQ based on a 6/12 pitch and 1' over hang. I do not have the building up yet, so I need someone who can do the math help me. The walls.. I can figure.. I need the roof calculated.

Well my build is in the final planning phase and I hope to ready the pad this weekend. I need some help calculating the the number of sq of shingles I need and also the osb I need for the roof and walls. I will be buying trusses and have the 2x4's calculated already. if somone could give me a...
