I saw that! I was thinkin hey I should paint the block but then I got to thinking why bother? Just do a matching but darker floor and then lighter walls. Make it work with what I have? Any advantage to painting the block that Im not aware of? Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal...

Hello GJ folks! Well the garage is coming together! 24x48 attached. Some unique things going on here is a small bump out on left side, and four courses of concrete all the way around the bottom. Garage doors face NNE. So that’s got me thinking about flooring coating, wall color, block options...

Thanks for the responses! We live three hours away so time with pertinent folks is limited for questions.

So the house is in the process of being built. one thing I noticed that one of the house HVAC units is up in the trusses over the garage. Ok no big deal. But knowing that typically trusses aren't meant for storing things I got to thinking. Take a look at this photo. Does sistering a 2x4...

I did see like a "24x30". Im sure I could copy that layout and just keep going further with it/repeating pattern. I always like to try and be exact if possible.

Ok so they finally set grade and I know my height in my attached garage. 24x46 with 12ft ceiling Four 10ft wide garage doors across the long end. Window on one side. No other natural light. Going to install the jackshaft garage door openers. So now for lighting. I think I would prefer 3-4K...

Well update! Foundation is poured and house walls are going up! Gonna head over tomorrow with the truck so I can do some test driving and see how everything fits! Gonna take stakes and tape now that there is a hard set point of reference off the house. I think that should give me some time to...

Typically I would agree but I just got written approval from mine to build a 36x40 after our house is complete:shocking: This HOA is in the county though, not city, so that may help. Like one earlier poster said, I went in early and often with a specific set of requests and made it clear what I...

Thank you! We sort of built it ourself. The center section was prefabbed but we had to build the wings as the bumper wasn't designed for my truck. I really need to finish it but right now getting ready to sell our house and a six month old is chewing up my time fast. Luckily we are slowing down...

Great feedback and yes I would agree. Supposedly I should have about 35 feet on average. I figured that I could park in the third stall from the front and if I HAD to do a 3 point turn, so be it. Like you said, can't do anything about the property line and Ill probably have the same drop off at...

Thats more like what I was thinking. Need more help on the cooling side. It would just be nice to buffer the garage at 45-50 all winter. May I ask are you in HVAC? What system are you running to keep it at 50 degrees? Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

Thank you for all the information! Would a forced air furnace be a better idea? Im sure they arent near as cheap. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

Yah I hear what you are saying for sure. While I dont like them normally, with the HOA all those decisions are made for me :) for the design of the neighborhood. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

I can tell you! So if I don't upgrade, it will be: Stick built R13 walls R38 ceiling R10 Insulated overhead doors I would only have 9 foot ceiling too, compared to your 16, or do you have a loft? Which unit did you purchase? Do you have the issue others talk about with not being able to...

That is great advice and I completely agree! I have a CCSB Duramax so my turning radius rivals a steamship. This baby will be a sideload so what you are describing would be a great idea!

Ok so I gave it a first try last night. I found it to be kind of clunky. Im gonna give it another shot today. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

Hello All, I know there are many threads on here about similar cases but I do want to ask specific questions about my setup. Construction this summer, 4 car open style garage. Will have 4- 8x10 doors. 1100 sqft. I'm finding online calculators saying I need 125K BTU heat for cold months ( not...
