    New Canadian Build - 18x24 Detached Garage

    Yea I've heard mixed things from people about these trees. Some said it depends on your neighbors and how nosy they are. I only just recently moved into the house so I didn't want to start off on the wrong foot with anyone. I'm glad my garage permit went so smoothly! My only hang up was...

    New Canadian Build - 18x24 Detached Garage

    Just a small update before the build starts on Monday. All the lumber was delivered yesterday, took up most of my driveway. I had to store my 2nd Miata at my parents’ house for the week, which kind of ***** since I was planning on putting in some larger injectors and flashing the ecu today...

    New Canadian Build - 18x24 Detached Garage

    Thanks! I’ve made a couple changes after talking to my builder. Made the windows a bit smaller to keep prying eyes out and increased the width of the garage door to 14’. Yea I don’t like having to remove trees as it is. Having to remove a tree with sentimental value like that would be really...

    New Canadian Build - 18x24 Detached Garage

    Hindsight now, but yea it's probably cheaper to just cut it down and pay the fine, then you don't have to worry about replanting too. Crazy how that is.

    New Canadian Build - 18x24 Detached Garage

    Some background: My wife and I purchased our first detached home this summer after spending the last 10 years in condos. After spending all that time having to use my parents' garage to work on my cars (92 Miata, 07 Miata and a 16 GTI), one of my must haves was a garage. The house we purchased...

    Swisstrax in Ontario question

    Did you end up sealing/painting the concrete before putting on the tiles? I'm in the middle of building my detached garage and I'm trying to narrow down my choices for flooring and Swiss Trax seems like a good option being in the GTA too.

    Minimum size for 2 car useable?

    I could only get approved for 18x24' in my area so I feel your pain! My cars are pretty small (2 Miatas and a GTI) so I'm hoping that I'll be able to at least fit 2 in for winter storage. Might have to get those wheel dollies to push them to the corners.

    My 2-Car Porcelain Tile Install....

    Wow, great job on that floor! It has me seriously thinking about tiling my garage now instead of epoxy. I have about 450sqft to do, so it seems doable as a DIY project. Couple questions for you since you're in my neck of the woods. Is this something I would have to hold off until spring to do...

    The Garage Computer

    I'm currently using an iPad mini 4 paired to a bluetooth speaker for sound for my tiny workshop. I'm contemplating putting in a computer workstation in the garage I'm building right now so I can model up parts and print them on my 3D printer which currently lives in my basement. That way I can...

    Hello from Toronto!

    Hi all, I've been lurking for a few months. I'm in the process of building my first garage. Concrete has been poured and the structure should be up by mid January. I'll be posting my build in the gallery once I hit my 5 post minimum for picture links. Thanks!
