Quite a lot done since the last update! Received the walls, second story floor and supper beams, roof trusses etc. We assembled everything and since snow is already here, we put all our efforts into finishing the roof and shingles. Now on to the exterior before we get buried in 6 ft of snow...

Great start. Keep it up!!

Quick update: Since we built a good part of the 28' walls at 8' high like the rear one, it would be a little complicated to order a pre-fab kit for the first floor. So my contractor offered to finish the first floor structure when I'm ready. Then I'll take over with some friends, order the...

More work done today. Important delivery today, in floor heating kit arrived!

Contractor started late last week. Lots accomplished already. I'm really glad with the way things are going after just 3-4 days of work. Footing's done. They just poured the walls this afternoon. Decided do go with 8' high walls instead of the initial 48" planned as they act as a barrier for...

There's a chance the guys will be here to start by the end of next week. I couldn't be more happy with my contractor. I know him personally and never though he'd have time to do my foundation as they usually do more "commercial" oriented jobs... They did the building for one of my business...

Thx for chiming in guys. I agree, this new design and the 16' door is a good decision. Contract had been given on the footing and slab. Workers should be here within a couple weeks... Just got a first truck load of 0-3/4" rocks to get them started. Should see some real progress now!

After a couple months of going back and forth, trying different floorplans and design... This is pretty much what it'll look like ;) I'm happy with it, GF is happy with it - so let's get some quotes now!

Thx for the kind words. I was initially looking for something simple and effective to design an aircraft hangar I built not too long ago and found Home Designer Suite software which is great and affordable. In the same family of software was Chief Architect which is the professional version...

Just wanted to give you guys a quick update as there's been some developements in the past couple weeks. Actually, got more done than expected which is good :) What was once a rocky slope behind my house is now a 20 foot deep hole! It's flat and flush with my driveway which is exactly what I...

Thx guys ;) ...and until I have the hammer in my hands, plans are subject to change! So keep your suggestions coming!

Thx guys. Program used is Chief Architect Premier X4. Great program. @Trey, I plan to break ground late in the summer, probably Sept... Then order all the pre-fab walls, floor and trusses... Should have a closed building by Oct.

Thx! One quick thing I should've pointed out in my previous post: If I decide to go with two garage doors, I can't really put them further apart... First because I want to keep my 16' wide workshop on the other side... so the way we see it on the plan is about the only way I can have two 9'...

Thx for the kind words! Couple things I can and cannot do or things that wouldn't be practical considering the location on the garage, which is just behind my house... There will be aprox 24' between the rear wall of my house and the front wall of the garage. So, the driveway leading up to the...

30'X41' Multi-task 2 story garage build! Hi Guys. My name is Jean and I'm an addict. I discovered this forum a couple months ago and now I really need help. I just can't stop... so many lifts, so many nice cars, so many great builds... I just can't take it anymore and I need to stop... :spit...

Man! I designed my garage from scratch and came up with something that looks almost identical to your design and layout! ...albeit some minor differences... Looks like a great start on your build! Keep it coming! Now it's time to start my build thread!

Great build! Congrats! I'm interested in your water tank setup as running water to my garage would be a nightmare... (concrete, asphalt demolition etc...). If you're able to do 15 wash with one full drum, I think that's more than enough to convince me....!

Jack, like the millions of other guys who congratulated you on your work on both the garage and the car, I cannot think of anything to say that hasn't been said before. :sad: Just know that you're singlehandedly responsible of my 3 year old garage plans resurrection. Looking at the work you've...

Great build. Good job! I joined the forum because of your thread btw! I'll be taking in a lot of inspiration for my build next fall!
