Those poles, 4x4, embedded in the concrete?

Those are the best ones I have seen, thanks. Went with this one

Yes that was good! I also checked ebay, craigslist. This is my favorite so far

Looking for a vintage looking neon garage clock for my newly built garage.

It's not the snow, but the wind category that you should worry about. http://www.wph.com/technical-resources/wind-calculator/

I don't see power in the garage, so I am wondering where you are getting the cable you are talking about. But generally romex cable would run to the wall, drill through, mount a box on the outside, and run conduit from the box to the light fixture.

Bottom plate should be bolted too.

as bczygan warned, your walls are just sitting on that footing. Should be somthing like this:

All good advice, one question is the garage one or two stories. To not build without a permit in CA is irresponsible to say the least.

no problems lifting here:

National Lumber will stamp the plans for free if you Promise to look at their stock when buying your material.

I guess with some fire codes, why don't you like using Drywall. Comes in many thickness, etc.

Thanks so much for that info, as I was preparing for the EPA lic. no need now since it my own home!
