Looking good, keep us posted on what you do with the inside.:thumbup:

Monday 12/04/06 Here are some pictures from Friday and today. These guys are amazing. Friday they got all the sheething on, wrapped and the tar papered the roof even though we had a severe storm, they worked right through the rain. Today they did the sofit and trim and installed one of the...

Thanks quarterstang, I've waited a long time for this :bounce: . The 2X6 construction is for structural strength as well as more R value insulation.

11/30/06 This is where there were at by 3:00 PM.

11/30/06 Here is the progress as of noon today.

I asked the same question. The contractor said since the wall is not load bearing it wasn't necessary.

11/29/06 Construction has begun. They have all the framing done. Tomorrow they will be putting on the sheathing and the trusses. The clean up crew was doing a great job.

EvilEye, I am about 30 miles south of the NY state border; according to map quest you are about 140 miles south of me. Nice to see some home state folks on the board. I hope the framing doesn't take to long, I have my vehicles scatered around the neighborhood in neighbors and familys garages and...

Volvo, I will ask the contractor about that on wednesday when he comes back. I had to work the day the concrete was poured. Luckily my wife was home to take the photos. Down Under Bloke, 31 degrees is cold but it does get into the negative temps here in the winter.

The drains are the same as the one's used in a local trucking company’s garage and have been in for ten years with no negative results. Hopefully mine will be ok. They’re located directly in front of where my doors will be and are recessed about 3/4 of an inch so water will flow in and not pool...

11-23-06 The contractor installed my floor drain and got the concrete poured on the 21st. They started at 8 in the morning and didn't finish power troweling untill 9 that night. He came back the next morning and put a super smooth finish on it and then sealed it. He won't be back to start...

11/15/06 The 200 AMP service was installed in the house today. The weather turned out to be good. I hope it is Friday for the concrete.:rocker:

11/14/06 The weather here hasn't been steller, but the guys are making headway. They hope to pour the concrete on Friday. They are doing a new sidewalk in the front of the house as well. The electrician is installing the 200 amp service tomorrow.

I talked with the contractor yesterday and told him I want the floor to be very very smooth almost like glass. He said he wouldn't quit until it was.

I had thought about coating the floor with epoxy but I will be doing alot of welding and restoration work and I don't want to end up chipping it or burning it so I will be just sealing it.

Hey everyone. I've been a member for a while but haven't posted only because I have been planning and getting ideas for my new garage. I would like to thank everybody for all the good information. It has helped tremendously. I origanally wanted to build a 40X40 but my property is only 50X150 so...
