Brand new in the box! Milwaukee 60" work bench. $478.00 with free shipping

No AC, but I did rough in for heat.

The stripe on the cinder block was a pain. I used frog tape and then painted over the edge of the tape with the base color. This sealed edge so that the bleed through would be the grey/white and not the red.

Almost finished up the covered patio as well. Just need to install a couple of 6000w heaters for those chilly Chicago nights.

Well, I intended to keep updating my progress as construction continued, but everything started moving quickly and I forgot to update this thread. I am just about finished with everything, just a few odds and ends. Really does it ever end:headscrat. It's picture time:rocker:

I did not spray foam the front half of the garage because the walls are cinder block. The garage is connected to the house. I went with the spray foam for a couple reasons; sound deadening and it was only a couple hundred more that standard batts.

Relocated my 4-post lift over the weekend. Luckily it was a short drive. The move went better than expected.:D

Shehzada I could not go straight back with the new section of the garage. Due to side yard setback requirements, I needed to increase the side yard distance from the garage to the lot line.

I was able get the new half of the garage painted over the long weekend:D

Neighbor hasn't grown anything in that window for years. It's probably not much to look at from their kitchen, but they seem good with it.

Regarding the roof... I snapped a pic of the plan to give you an idea of how the weight is distributed. I have a 2 x 14" micro lam running the length of the ridge with 2 x 10 rafters. Cost is a tough one because I was doing some other work, but I would guess under 10k for carpentry.

Well it wasn't an accident, but I did drive through the wall! Yes, wife wanted a covered patio and a bigger mud room. A bigger garage has its price.

First post! I have been lurking for a while now and figured it was time to share some pics of my new garage. Started as a 20' x 20' and added 19' wide x 22' deep out the back. I had to jog the side in due to city setback rules. Drywall is up and ready for paint. will have to take some more...
