Not sure this will be anything new to see, but who doesn't like pictures. We broke ground Feb. 3rd. Brought in 88 triaxle loads of fill and made a pad sufficient for the 30x48 building. I was on the contractors calendar for end of March. Then all hell broke loose and the world went on lockdown.

The contractors are coming in the morning to start my garage and I need to get my ducks in a row to get power to it. (I'm doing it, not the contractor) I am planning a 100 amp sub panel that will be 120' from the main supply in the house. The new line will run through the length of the house...

I'm trying to get all my ducks in a row, and thinking about my loft/mezzanine. I'd like to have a free span of 15'. The loft are will only he for storage, not living space, and realistically only for decorations and seasonal storage. I've looked at a few charts for the laminated beams and to be...

I was reading the thread about height, and have been wondering about mine. I'm on the contractors list for sometime next month, and I initially told him I wanted 12' ceiling. After I thought about it, I wonder if I should have told him 14'. The only reason I have is that I'm planning on a...

So I'm starting to get the wiring straight in my head for my new garage and I'm trying to think of all the possible needs. It will be a detached 30x50...with a welder, compressor (both 240), a car lift and wood working saws. 100A service. I'm thinking 2 circuits for the wall outlets. One for...

I'm making the final arrangements for my garage and am to the point of a lift. The garage will be 30x50x12 with 2 10' doors on the 30' end. I have always wanted a lift as I maintain my 3 vehicles as well as my daughters vehicles as well. But, the thought of the lift being permanent and not being...

Is there such a thing? I'd like to put a couple flush mount outlets in the floor of my garage, but being a concrete floor, I'd like the ability to hose it down if needed. Plan B is drop down cords, but I'd rather have them in the floor.

I've been messing around with a layout for me new garage and I'm wondering if I should put everything on a mobile base. I'm thinking the larger stuff like the table saw, router, bandsaw, jointer and such. I'm going to have enough room for everything to be in a fixed position, but I don't use...

Well, after almost 2 years of procrastinating, and miscellaneous stuff coming up, I finally got the money for my garage. It's going to be a 30x50 pole building with shingles and vinyl siding to match the house. (although the shingles may get swapped out for metal, since we may be doing that to...

Anyone put a loft in a 12' wall garage? I'm planning ahead and was thinking about adding a loft to my future garage. it will have 12' walls, so the loft will be pretty low, but I can't decide how low. The front will have a lift inside one of the overhead doors (10' door), so I'd probably have...

Anyone know anything about these? My dad gave me a box of tools and there were a bunch of loose sockets and a breaker in there that didn't fit anything. Turns out they are Blackhawk 7/16" drive. I put them on the shelf, just because I don't know what else to do with them.

I'm new here, but will probably be here often as I am planning a garage in another couple months. Here is my plan...30x50 10' walls in Central PA. I am planning on the front half (30x25) as auto work space, and split the back half between a metal working/welding set up and wood working shop. I...
