First, great thread. I spent the last 30 min looking over the build. I really like the side sliding doors for storage. Where those site built or something ordered? Didn't see any mention on that. Any more pics of the track system or doors? I assume they slide/collapse back to back to...

I'm not really thinking about it to park a car in an upstairs living area but to bring a car down to a lower garage area underneath the garage main floor. I wonder if a regular lift could be used with some type of modified floor mounted onto the lift ramps. Looks like he has some type of...

I did a complete drawing of the 31x31 garage I built with Solidworks. Down to every stud. Made ordering material very easy. Good Luck

I'd like to see more of the garage. Like the way they finished the walls. Good find.

Wow, that's a lot of quotes. So you've been banned for a few days and the first thing you do is come in here and visit. Don't I feel special. Anyway, ddawg...To clear up your questions, THIS WAS A PERMIT BUILD AND PASSED INSPECTION. When I said the issue (that being moisture) came when I...

Sounds good. I'm going to play a little with the skid steer this weekend and move a little dirt around the foundation to slope it away. Then add gutters. Thanks again for the example.

Actually it was a permit build and required. I'm no builder but just finished my 2500 sq ft house and now the garage (passed all inspections the first round). The issue came because I poured my driveway and decided later to add a garage at the end (I realize your wonderful state would probably...

I did not lay down a moisture barrier and have noticed on a warmer rainy day the floor was damp. I'm hoping a/c and heat will regulate the moisture issue. I sealed the foundation somewhat from the footings up to the top of the block where I backfilled dirt. I think to be safe I will use the...

I do not have gutters on the garage yet. I will be adding them this weekend. That I'm sure will help prevent the majority of water entering. I'm not familiar with draintile? I'll have to google that one. I don't think there will be a water issue once the gutters are in place. There may...

This is an odd circumstance but my new garage is just being finished and we had 5" of hard rain in 24 hours. To give a little background, I dug footings then had the mason lay 2' of block on top. Then I did the DIY waterproofing with tar. Needless to say, I went out to the garage this morning...

It would be really cool if it were zoned so you could have a bedroom in there. I would be in heaven then. Perfect for the single car guy.

I'm a rookie who just put up 1000 square ft of the cultured stone on my house with columns. You said you put the lathe up. I assume it was a metal mesh lathe. They are directional with the cups up. Also with the Type S, some are premixed with sand and some not. Which do you have? I used...

PVC is not a good air line for the long haul. It will degrade over time with the passing of oil/moisture from the compressor. I'm getting ready to do my 30x30 with Prevost. No couplings to make, just screw the ends together. If you want to add or redo anything just unscrew. You can ever tap...

I would redo it with Prevost piping.

Get in your truck and ride around until you find a framing crew and get them to put them up. On a lighter note. The quicker you can get sheathing on the better. You'll never get it braced enough to get the play out....until the osb goes on. That and renting a lift to put them in place...

Great info ovilla. I was hoping someone had experience with both. I have heard the Pro model is a great unit compared to the original I drive. Looks like it's going to be the 3800. Thanks again for the info everyone.

I was sold on the 3800's but the company which sells them has the 3800 and the I Drive Pro, new units. He claims the Pro is smoother and $110 cheaper. Thanks

I am getting ready to order garage doors for my build and am looking at the two openers. Anyone have feed back on the units. I have heard good things about both. I want the unit to be out of the way so it doesn't take away from the 12' ceilings. Thanks

I am building a new 30x30 garage and wanted to know what options were available for taller heights. I would like to use a low profile light or flush mount light either between the roof trusses or as high up as possible. I have also thought about using the wave patterned silver tin roofing for...

It's a completly different structure. Solid as a rock. I'll get some pics as soon as the weather breaks. Thanks for the great info.
