You're moving right along. At this rate you'll be done before I am. I started in 2012 lol.

Here's looking at the back wall of my 28 x 38 long term project, the stairs really need to get done this winter. It's a 10 x 10 door into the back yard. I went a little shallow on the treads, 2x10 iirc saved a bunch of space and its fine walking up and down. I'm 6'2" and don't have to duck going...

I'll try get some pics tomorrow. Another thing to consider is your door tracks and opener. I originally had the ceiling mounted operators but bought a Jack shaft opener for my lift bay. I modified the track so the door runs up close to the ceiling for clearance. It looks so much cleaner and runs...

I built a 28x38 with attic trusses with intention of installing a lift. Something to consider - many lifts are a little over 12' high so I built my walls with a double top and bottom plate with full 12' studs for 12'6" walls. My stairs are in a back corner, starting up the side wall to a...

Shouldn't really need a header if the gable truss is built the same as the rest of them, pole shops are built like that all the time. I would think a 10' door would be very doable with scissor trusses.

I strapped my pex on top of my rebar grid and lifted it a couple inches off the insulation with chunks of broken brick gets the steel closer to the middle of the slab and the pex closer to the top of the slab. Finally go my boiler running a few weeks ago and its awesome, you'll be very happy...

Nice garage! I subscribed a while ago cause it was going to be similar to mine and just got up to date on it. Nice truck too!

Here's mine with stone up 4' on just the front. Rest of the way around I have a dark brown tin going up the same height. Everyone seems to love it! :)

To store mine I cut the bottom off of a 2 liter pop bottle and screwed it to the wall upside down. Any leaks drain to the cap and can be emptied by removing it... :thumbup:

Nice job on the shop. I hear you loud and clear on the diy too. I started a similar shop over a year ago with help from family and friends, and seems like the finishing is taking forever by myself...
