I was looking at rental lifts to do the ceiling work and garage door openers. During my search I came across a good deal on a mast lift and decided to pull the trigger. It's a JLG-36AM. Since the price was right, I figured it would be nice to have for future projects. I like how easy it...

Made some more progress on the first floor light mounts.

More progress - Most of the loft can lights are mounted and I was able to mount the other fan. I tested both fans on the high setting, plenty of airflow. I was also able to test the center barn hanging lights.

Not sure, but I'm sure I'll fill it up in no time! You should see what isn't in the garage yet!:bounce:

Here are the items I am using for lighting & fans - Light Cans: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NBYL9PQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Can Lights: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N1FCGWD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Loft Center Lights...

Update - Finally had some time to get the electrical started. My plan is: 225A Panel - Power First floor: -120VAC 20A duplex receptacles x 16 (one quad mounting in ceiling, one duplex mounted high for garage doors). -240VAC 30A 3wire x 2 -240VAC 50A 3wire x 4 -240VAC 50A 4wire x 2 Second...

Yes - been pretty busy as of late, but things are complete for the most part (minus electrical and insulation which will come later). I've sent in my form of completion and compliance and looking to schedule a final inspection. I think I'll need to call in as no one has reached out to me yet...

I'm in the same boat - looking at a 2 post vs the Atlas. I'm really liking the atlas due to its low profile. I would be even more tempted if we could find a group buy price :)

I'm getting ready to figure something out similar with my garage doors (2 10'x10' doors). I am wanting them to open up, following the interior wall and then ceiling if necessary. I have about 9ft of vertical wall above them before the ceiling. I have some belt drive openers I've purchased but...

I'm not entirely sure to be honest. I'm guessing they used the backyard as reference instead of the driveway. A drain in the front of the garage with a grate over it should solve this issue, but yes, I'm none too happy and awaiting a response. My only concern is drainage so as long as that is...

From what I understand (had to look this up myself), the building should be framed square regardless of the foundation since if you follow the foundation and it's out of square, that can lead to other issues with items such as the roof, walls, etc.

Some photos from Friday's progress: More photos of the foundation issue:

Different guy measuring, but same concrete company. Needless to say, I'm not too pleased. I sent them an email and left them a voicemail yesterday so waiting to hear back. They are still scheduled to replace our asphalt driveway with concrete once the garage is finished. The pad was supposed...

More updates - official build started 10/15. I'm using an Amish crew from the northern Indiana. They are doing a great job so far. The estimate for completing everything is 6-7 days. On my end, I'll have insulation, electrical, lights, and garage door openers to install. The first few...

Been a while since the last post - Concrete pad is complete. Materials are showing up early October and the build will start October 8th. Here are some pictures of pad progress/completion: After some of the rain cleared, I noticed these dark/shiny spots? It seems like they...

Thanks for the advice, much appreciated - Updated to removing 16' of the second floor and changed to two 10' x 10' doors. More pictures from some blocks going down:

Thanks. I forgot to post the quote to clarify. There was actually a mistake in the quote and it is for $47,000. Here is the current quote (see below). I did contact them today about some changes and a new quote. Some things I am looking to do: -add 3 more of the same window -I noticed...

Foundation work was able to start yesterday. The area was excavated and footers poured. Probably not much going on today or tomorrow due to rain.

Had a little bit of a weather delay, but the excavating starts tomorrow. I received another quote for an all-in (roof, windows, doors, vinyl, garage door, vinyl, etc) stick built version of the garage. It came in at $45,500. That sounds like a good price to me for having someone else manage...

Thanks for the sanity check! I definitely used the wrong line when adding the numbers up and noticed it shortly thereafter. I probably shouldn't be up this late reviewing numbers/plans. :drunk:
