One would hope! I am staying inside it to soon have my last LVL up so I can start to do the loft I need to get stuff off the floor. We are getting closer everyday.

Hey Guys, Its been a minute since my last update but progress has been slow. I now know of two things I will never do again; roofing and siding. The siding trim, soffit, etc eat so much time. I was able to hang my furnace, get all of the trim/sheet aluminum done around the doors, all gas...

It has been a long fall and a good end to the year around my parts. We went late into December doing leaf clean ups and then even did our first snow push of the year. I decided to take a little time off to do some riding before it gets too cold so that delayed the build a little. Enjoy the dump...

I appreciate the kind words guys! It is nearing completion and I can finally see the light! Pictures incoming. -Ronnie

Man am I glad that the sheeting is almost done! 15ft walls **** to sheet...never again. But I have everything done besides the back top. Until I get the garage door on, I am keeping the rear sheeting off. It is a windy stretch right through the front. -Ronnie

This weekend started on a good note when we were able to finish the roof but then it was off to my side hustle of cutting lawns on Sunday to make a little money for this thing...figured you guys might like these Scag stripes too:) Scag Cheetah with 35hp EFI Finishing last of roof side Only...

Well it's been a week of pretty slow progress around here...but I have all my roof sheeting up, half a roof shingled, and all 6 LVL beams up for my loft! I am using 24' long and 14" tall (deep?) LVL's in a 2 ply configuration every 9 feet. Then there will be a 36' long and 14" deep LVL also in...

Until now, there have not been many issues but Monday brought a few to the surface.. For starters, my inspector came by and told me that I need to have a water barrier or ground contact approved OSB/sheeting the bottom 8" of the walls for code. Although I understand the reasoning, I am still a...

Thanks! It will serve as a place to restore square body trucks, keep my cars safe/clean, and machine parts on my CNC. Some of the loft will be used to store inventory for my business, car parts, etc. I will have a TV, mini bar, and possibly couch but no direct plans to live in it as the house is...

Double post withdrawn.

With a lot of framing done, I needed to run electrical, gas, water, and drainage before I could do final grade for cement and call the guys to come pour. The yard is a low point around the block so I opted to bring in 25 yards of material to fill and prep for concrete. The floor is about 5"...

After the poles and girts, we moved onto the header/truss combo. I opted to face nail a 2x6 to the truss and then nail between the inside and outside headers. We did the outside header, trusses, then the inside header, and finished with hurricane straps on the outside. Rented a mini sky trak...

I enlisted my dad and his buddy to get our lines up, grade shot, and poles up. The 24ft poles were the real killer. Everything within 1/8" besides the bent/warped poles in spots but overall happy with how it went! The poles were put up in a long 14 hour day and then girts followed through...

First, the existing 12x20 shed that was removed/sold before I could start on the new garage. This was built with 4x4 at 16" on center...she was a beast to move. After removal, I had to take out a decent amount of roots/stumps that had been previously cut down flush and left. This would be...

I have been lurking for awhile and finally decided to make my own account...and start a thread of my garage build and the very slow progress I am making. To start off, I am a car guy that also likes to build robots. This space will function as storage, fabrication area, car restoration area...
