Sorry Ace, I misunderstood what you were asking. The ridge of the roof would go from left to right as your looking at the front of the building, with gable ends. With the 4 inch pitch, the scissor trusses should give me 13 1/2 foot ceiling height in the middle of the building. No hip roof so...

Ace, it’s a 4” pitch with 18” overhangs all around. Larry & Pmiranda, the front two overhead doors will have 2’ on either side with 4’ inbetween them, though we might even those three measurements out, I’m with you storing stuff along the side walls if necessary. And the actual layout for the...

Please feel free to give input for my garage/shop plans, before I bite the bullet! Hope to make it look like an older gas station, with two overhead doors in front with a gabled overhang for my two gas pumps etc... 36’ deep by 56’ wide. 12’ high walls with scissor trusses for height for a lift...

I found on Craigslist, a used auto rotisserie with the hydraulic jacks on each end for sale. The owner, Stan, used it on his 64 Impala convertable, and it was getting in the way. Had to drive 3 1/2 hours each way to pick it up, but well worth it. Price - $500. Best part, besides the deal, was...

$5.oo at a junk shop about 10 years ago. Changed the battery once since.

Here are some before and after photos of my garage. The garage is 24 X 28 and 26 years old. Built quite a few hot rods and other projects over the years and decided it was time to clean things up. Built a new bench, insulated the walls and re sheathed them with OSB. Also rewired the garage...
