Project looks great - where are you located in SC??

I picked up the only one in the Goose Creek, SC store for $23.99 - they matched the 1060 printout. I checked the Summerville store and they had one left in stock.

Glad to see another Tiger on here. Yeah - the only wrenching this poor college student did at Clemson was on bikes in the apartment kitchen (grease wipes off of linoleum a little better than carpet)!! College kids' toys have gotten a little nicer these days!!!

My garage/shop is nearly the same size and I'm planning one 200V outlet on each wall. I'm also going to install conduit to a future outdoor closet (compressor & dust collector) before I insulate/drywall. What wire size is needed for 50A circuits? I want to run wire to accommodate 50A but have...

Talk to the truss designer. He can spec "light storage", "heavy storage", "occupancy", etc. trusses based on the intended use.

Had another milestone on Friday - passed my final inspection. He was probably here less than 5 minutes. It was another "if you're happy, I'm happy" inspection... Fine with me!!!

Like others, my garage has 10' ceilings and I built 8' bathroom walls.

I had a pretty productive weekend. Aside from getting the bathroom drywall hung, some friends of ours that are moving gave us their full size "garage" fridge. Guess I'll be running another water line for the icemaker... :thumbup: Also, I found a HF bandsaw on Craigslist for $85. The...

Great job on the finish details. Like we've talked, I'll end up with similar front elevation, with the metal seam roof over the doors. I've had alot of "it's tall" comments, but I built within the zoning requirements & to my liking. It's my garage, right?!?!

For those of you who have flushmounted fluo strips, what type of junction box have you used? Rectangular? Round? Is conduit required if I mount the fluo strips on spacer blocks to avoid the overheating issue I've read about?

Here are the promised pics. I started my trenching with a rented trencher. Worked well except only one drive wheel worked and I had to wrestle that thing to keep a straight line. Ended up with two trenches - one for electrical feed and the other for wastewater and potable water lines. For...

No updates in a while, but yesterday I passed my electrical and plumbing rough-in inspections. I've already hooked up the electrical and am busy filling the two trenches I have across the yard. Just have to sheetrock the bathroom and set the fixtures and I'll be ready for Final Inspection...

Just make sure that you have a void space around the shower drain stubout. I forgot this and didn't have room to fit the shower drain threaded connection. I ended up building a 2" wooden platform that the shower sits on.

Check out www.woodnet.net - great forum for the "sawdust" guys...

I don't have any project updates, but had a question about the front metal overhang. I'm posting some pics of another local "carriage house" and metal roofs that I drew design details from.
