So close! Should be able to pull cars in next week! Then the fun really begins!

Highlights of the project

I appreciate the consensus. Thanks for the replies. You all have some amazing garages. The longer I hang out here the more I like it.

Why would they need the 2x6 to get the door so far back from the framed opening? Based on all the input above it feels like they are doing something wrong.

Pressure treated T1-11

Things that make you go hmmm....

Does this look like a standard high lift installation procedure?

If an extra wide driveway prevents my wife from backing into something of mine it's worth it.

Thanks Buck! We gained a driveway yesterday. They are finishing up some flooring inside the house addition. Garage doors should go up next week. Then I can start hanging cabinets and moving tools and cars in. Can't wait.

A catwalk would be a great idea. That might be a future project idea. Thanks bug! Some extra storage that's for sure. A future plan is to air condition the shop. A catwalk would be a good platform for an air handler too! I got the painting done in the garage. I went with a light grey on...

Bread board is apparently what the auto correct feature on my phone thinks I mean when I type bead board. The house remodel part of this project has rendered my computer and wifi somewhat inaccessible. I'm dealing with fat thumbs and a tiny phone.:willy_nil

Some more mudding. The pressure treated breadboard will be going in next week after I paint the drywall.

Being quoted $1400 bux for materials for 3 high lift doors. Springs track, drums, cable... Is that balpark? Seemed high. Wound up going with an 8 foot door and 17.5 foot ceilings so I can go full vertical.

Thanks denwood. I'll have to take a look at your build. Looks like there might be a lot of great inspirations and ideas there.

Some drywall happened today. More painting and caulking and painting and caulking. Can't wait to get started on the cars!
