Nice clean job on the footings... :thumbup: I have a completed (almost) 30X36 that I started in Oct. 2003 witha full loft upstairs. It took a little over a year for me to build it on the weekends and any spare moment that I could get but it was all worth it. You'll be glad once it's all...

It looks like you'll be needing some fill, are you backfilling with dirt or gravel? Where in Connecticut are you. I used to live in Pound Ridge, NY - right on the Stamford, CT border. Looks good, keep posting your progress. :thumbup:

That's not a garage....it's a plane hangar with garage doors. Nice space. :beer:

Plus it's been a "money pit" drain on me for the past year. BTW, I've lived in NY most of my life just outside NYC, my folks had a place in Hopewell Junction,NY and I spent many summers up there. Yes, I believe that someone was watching over me also! I'll be 54 in July and I keep in pretty...

The roof pitch is 9/12....funny that you asked that because back in March of 2004 I fell off the roof. I was dragging 4'X8' sheets of exterior OSB up there all day and at the end of the day I just had a lapse in my concentration and hit the ground pretty hard on my left side. Not having...

Thanks, I'm very proud of it. That photo was taken back in December. I'll post a more recent photo as I finished most of the landscaping around it now.

Judging from the construction I see there and all the conduits and pipes, that looks like a very serious commercial building.

This is a pretty cool site, who would have thought that there was a forum for garage-a-holics like myself. I built this myself and it took about a year. It's a three car detached garage with a loft. Footprint is 30'X36' with a 36'X16' loft upstairs. Ceilings downstairs are almost 11' upstairs 8'.
