Here I have mad it to the pull through door of the garage and staged the lifts (until my concrete bit arrives to trim concrete pits) also at the end is a picture of where i got stuck and had to go ask the wife to the keys to her jeep, she said "why, what did you do?" she was excited to use the...

11/14/2020 Things are moving slowly now (waiting on electrician) so I decided to move the scissor lifts from my attached garage apron over to the detached garage. This move was only about 100 ft. but the pallet with the lifts is about 2,000lbs and the front of the detached garage is basically a...

Here is the trench filled in. If you are wondering what the three small vertical pipes are for: It is due to rain for the next 3 days so the inspector has not had a chance to come sign off yet. I wanted to fill the trench before the rain so I cut 3 small sections of PVC to give the inspector a...

11/10/2020 OK we have laid pipe (Stop smiling) its not the prettiest thing in the world but it should work to pull the wires through from the house. 2.5" PVC schedule 80. We used a small pipe heating machine to bend the pipe as we went, making sure the pipe did not egg shape along the way.

I fully understand what you are saying. Hopefully this will work for me and I wont be saying "I wish I would have done..." but I don't think it's possible to get it all correct the first go around. Thanks for the response!

Well I guess I will find out.

Thank you and good question, It may not be correct but here was why I only did the one double window. the front wall has the two 12' doors and will have the top row of each door as windows. this will let light come through the front wall. The left wall has the man door and the double window. I...

11/7/2020 I have finished the trench for the 200Amp service from the main house to the garage. WOW! I should have rented a trencher... 52 feet and 21 inch deep. Oh well, its done now. Everyone needs some hard work every now and then to appreciate how easy machines make it for us.……. At least...

Now time for some Power to the garage. I will be working with my electrician to help cut cost wherever he suggests and that started with the trench for the 200Amp from the house. He told be where he wanted it and how deep and I started digging.

The concrete trucks had fun after the rain. Don't mind my junk

Close ups of the lift pockets before we take the forms off (will update with more when we do) I suspect I will have some touching up todo. . .

Ok 11/6/2020 a few shots of the finished product now that I can walk on it

A few more before the cuts and of course we had to sign it. CT + WT '20

Concrete poured! Two trucks and 16 cubic yards later we have a floor. They will return tomorrow to relief cut the floors.

I did not have much luck with the video. Maybe later I will post on YouTube and give the link. More progress

10/5/2020 Ok we had some rain slow us down for the concrete. The ground is still soft (you will see the yard damage lol) i will try and post a few short videos that my wife captured as I was at work and missed the pour. Also one of our huskies made wanted to check things out for herself (her...

Few more

10/29/2020 Ok I have some updating to do! lift boxes in place and running the PVC for the hydraulic lines to control panel

Thank you, Current plans for the 2nd floor is storage. (with the ability to change later) For now i will be trying to organize the best I can to have easy access for long term things I don't use often to keep the shop clutter free. After the inspector is out of my hair I believe a outside...

thank you, I know it will never be enough but I think it will be a great start for me compared to my 22x22 attached garage.
