Just read and started following your thread, would love to see some updates.

Nice plans with some good comments. Take a look at my thread for a view of how internal stairs against the side wall turn out. I only have a large storage area upstairs, and my garage couldn’t be as deep as yours, so I had to do a stairwell turn as well, but the storage closet under it is...

Got the stair top railing installed, and passed final inspection on the shop. Still have a few items to complete on the house and site before final can be given there. Built a simple rail out of some extra cedar we had onsite. Used these clamp mount brackets so the railing can be quickly...

I would do it because you have a toilet in there- just sayin’

Wow phred, sounds like you were lucky to survive a crash of that magnitude. Your old 65 definitely gave its all to protect you and its cool being able to incorporate parts of it into your 66 project.

Looks like a great project! Removing those posts will make a world of difference, and I’m looking forward to seeing how all your upgrades come out.

Thanks jBrent’s, I’m leaning towards an Advantage 4 post lift, probably a DX-9000-XLT. Thanks littlebean, it’s taken so long to get to this point that it’s hard to believe I might be using it soon. Still figuring out my plan for the concrete floors. I’m leaning towards a “stone finish”...

Wow, really like the look of your clear finish! It looks like a lot of the aggregate is showing through, was that a result of the prep grinding? I like it. I’ve been looking into having a local company apply polyurea, they moisture tested my two virgin untreated floors when doing the...

I think they use incandescent blinker lights because they are relying on the current to make their older style blinker relay work. Change those bulbs out for LED and you sometimes end up with a solid, non-blinking turn signal because the current draw isn’t enough to activate the blinker relay...

We had a couple day window last week where the weather was warm/dry enough to go for the driveway pour. Just shy of 100 yards of exposed aggregate poured in 2 days. When it was all in prep-gravel I kept expanding the footprint here and there because if felt small, now that it’s done it feels...

Finally, finished the upstairs lighting with more of the 8” halo LEDs used in the stairwell. You can also see the flooring I will be installing in the upstairs storage area. Dark gray coin pattern flex Nitro tiles from GarageFlooringinc.com. I wanted something that would be impervious to...

Next the detached garage- I got the 1’x2’ flat panel LEDs off Amazon also, and while they work well in this lower ceiling area I’m glad I didn’t try them in a higher ceiling area because they wouldn’t be bright enough. 1x2 FT 3CCT LED Flat Panel Flush Mount Light, 2500LM, 25W, 3000K/4000K/5000K...

First the house garage- I got 9 of these off Amazon and they worked well. Nice and bright but they have covers and provide a more filtered light that doesn’t sear into your retinas if you look straight at them. Plus they are 3000K and my wife wanted that warmer light in the house garage. I did...

Thanks iadr, it’s strange I hadn’t even noticed that until you pointed it out, but you are right about that! Thanks Jayman, I am behind on posting some updates but will get caught up soon.

Thanks dmittz, I will check out your build too.

Thanks Leevon. Some progress- got the LED tube lights up in the high bay- Primelights Bolt-II’s around the sides and a Bolt-III along the back wall. Nice and bright with no shadows anywhere walking around the bay. Lower bay side also uses a couple Bolt IIs along the back wall where I...

Wow, a lot of direct point to point wiring, but agree that is a lot of space and looking forward to seeing how you make use of it.

Thanks rocco, I went to look at your build and can’t see most of your pictures (looks like I’m not alone lol), but I will try a few different things and see If I can figure a way to do so (different browser, etc).

Garage doors and openers went up yesterday, I’m happy with the high track and overall install. Electrician is supposed to trim it out starting tomorrow, so the openers can be tested.

Slow progress, but still moving along. Sheet rock completed, got texture even though I asked to keep it smooth like the house garage (it looks fine but not paying for that!), painted the same “Extra White” as house garage. Triple-checked with GC about high lift tracks for the high bay door...
