12'5" Planning on a lift somewhere in the future.

The smooth coat popped up in that area. I found a little place and picked it out as far as I could. I figured that if I could get it up, it would come up on it's own sooner or later. The rust is from where tie box blade was sitting.

Last one is a problem with the floor!?

Some of the stairway.

I did my own plans so-to-speak. Just measurements and drawing. The trusses were built and certified for the span. So far, I forgot to put the electrical conduit and water in thru the block. I'll have to do that the hard way. Here is where we are so far. Waiting on the brick because it is so cold...

I'll put some more up in the next couple of days. The roof shingles are on today and the windows are in. Stairs should be about finished in a few days. Brick is delivered tomorrow.

A few more.

OK, I think that I can post pictures now. Here is my build. I was a little lax on the pictures but here we go. We got the one of the largest rainfalls in history as soon as we started!

Test post of image.

I have followed the directions but when I try to upload pictures all I get is "File upload failed". Any suggestions?? Thanks,

How do you put the insulation and vapor barrier in for something like this?

Just getting started on my 30x40. Eventually I will be installing a two post lift. I would like to plan placement now so that I can pour deeper for the lift bases. My longest vehicle will be an F-150 (about 20'). How far will the lift need to be inside the overhead door in order to have room to...

They are already on order (likely built) so I cannot change that now.

I know what you mean about taller is better. I guess I'm just too ****. I was just a little scared that it might look like a Giraffe with a party hat on. I guess the 12" won't even be noticeable. Thanks everyone! Great bunch of people on here!

Thanks for the replies. No, I cannot change the trusses now. I can change the ceiling height. The builder says he can fudge up a few inches if need be to 12.3 or so. I am concerned about how the building will look with the additional 12" height. Do you think it will look out of proportion? I...

I am building a 30x40 stick built. The idea is to add a 2 post lift later. Along with deciding where the post will go and putting thicker footings there, I am in a jam as to ceiling height for the lift. I will be putting an F-150 on the lift as the tallest vehicle. I see that the Bend pak 10acx...

Gregz I have the bessler pull down stairs in my home. They work great and are very sturdy. The only bad thing that I can see is that they are only 19 inches wide. I was thinking about one for the new garage BUT...over two grand!! and I felt that I might need something wider for garage storage.

Thanks! I'll have the same pitch roof and truss system. Yours looks like it will work fine so thats what I'm going with. Now, If I can get this guy to get moving! Your posts have been a great help!

Medic583 have you started? I'm doing a 30x40 also. Is yours on here?

Thanks. I'm building a 30x40 very similiar and am a little concerned about the space taken up by interior stairs. I have considered interior, exterior, and Bessler pull down. That Bessler is nice but over two grand!! It looks like the interior is what I'll end up with. When you do the picts, try...
