Thanks for all the feedback. I called for 9' walls, so there is no beef with the contractor. I just assumed that when the block was added the same 9' wall would go on top. I have been in contact with him and he is willing to put the 9' wall on top of the block for no additional cost which...

I specified the garage build with 9' walls. Then I just added 2 rows of split block at the bottom assuming that the 9' walls would go on top of the block. Contractor is saying the the wall will be 9' withe the block... Am I going to kick myself in the **** for only have 9'? I am putting a...

BrickG -- very nice. Really like the keystone and vertical brick above the garage doors... I would like to go all brick, but the money I am saving by putting vinyl on three sides will pay for a 4 post lift...

Thanks for the input... the $1500 was for one 36x9 wall of brick. Just got a firm price of $800 for two rows of split face on the three sides that are not brick... I told him to do it.

I am building a 24x36 and was doing the front in brick to match house (HOA rules) and vinyl on the other three sides... I was talking with contractor about bricking the 36' wall that will be seen from the house ($1500 adder) and he mentioned using split face block. The idea would be to have...

I have a final quote of 22k for the above (see initial post). This includes about 800 sq' of exterior concrete for pad and drive, an insulated 8x18 garage door and all exterior stuff finished like gutters, vinyl, etc. It does not include the heat pump... I thought this seemed like a good deal...

at 250 sq' per gallon, wouldn't you need 6 gallons...?

I am going to blow insulation in the ceiling and will go higher than R13...

I should also mention that the walls are 2x4 and will have r13 bat in them.

Going from r11 to r17.5 adds about $700 to the cost of an 18 x 8 door... For such a big area, I think the extra r value is worth the money. I plan to have heat at 48 in winter and ac at 80 in summer when I am not in there working.... Is it worth the money?

Thanks for the feedback... I will find out what the cost is to go from 50 amp to 100...

First off, I would like to say this is a great site... I have learned alot surfing around. I am building a 24x36 with an 8x18 door in the 24' side. It will have a 5/12 pitch roof, be brick on the front (side with door) and vinyl the other three sides. Please read the below and see if I am...
