Gents, I am a bit out of my lane here in regards to HVAC........ However I figured that this was a good place to start without getting berated for my questions somewhere else. Anywho, Once I finish half of my old garage, I want to add a mini split HVAC unit in order to make it a bit more...

That is about what I need. When I say one massive pour, that is me speaking in generalities as I really have no idea how to do it. I want to do it myself, so i guess I need to start checking to see what brands would be recommended for someone such as myself and how to do it in a single garage...

No issues with snow buildup as I live in middle TN, typically we don't get much snow. I like the idea of having the windows, as then it could be nice and open and then open up the doors on nice days and more my work outside if need be. I am also using this to meet code requirements for my...

Thats actually not bad, the only downside is that I have a man door between two garage doors in my garage. So having something like that would leave me with a roll up, white steel entry door, and a barn style door. So if there was something else in metal and was white, that would be just about...

Gents, I am looking for some feedback in regards to an upcoming project. I would like to add French doors in place of the current 9' roll up that I have on one side of my garage. It would serve as a separate shop versus a garage/shop. Anywho, I am trying to find a specific example of a French...

Gents, I was just curious if anyone had any insight on the self leveling capabilities of epoxy flooring? I am planning on finishing one side of my garage in order to turn it into a stand alone shop. It has a finished concrete floor, which is semi level and has minimal cracks. Once I get the...

Will do. I will be home from Afghanistan in a few months and then go from there. In the meantime, I am looking for some ideas on how to get started.

Gents, I am looking to enclose half of my garage in the near future in order to build a standalone shop underneath my house. I will be adding a detached in the future in order to accommodate all of my stuff. Anywho, the reasoning behind this is to pass my building inspection for finishing my...

Coming along great man. I can't wait to see the finished project! I am looking at building something similar, so thanks for the pictures as you have given me some great ideas!

If you don't mind me asking........ What was your budget? Did you have a company do the entire thing?

I tried that when I was looking into building a large shed in another part of my yard. It was going to be about 4K for everything at 84 Lumber, so I took my materials list to Lowes and had the guys draw me up a price for the materials. They were actually the same price, but Lowes offered a...

Nice. I will look into it when I get home. Still in Afghanistan right now, would like to get cracking on it right away when I get back. Did you draw up the plans yourself, or have a company generate them for you?

I didn't have to pull a permit for said structure as it was considered a "shed". So no permits to be pulled. The only catch was that I didn't have electrical in it. If I was to add electrical, I would have had to pull a permit for the electrical work. Check with your local building department to...

Nice, so 10K for everything but electrical......just like you said. I am thinking about doing something similar in TN. So looking at 20K for everything, that sounds pretty good to me. I am wondering what the price would be to have a company come out and do it. I would enjoy doing it myself...

Yeah, I agree. Pull the permit to be on the safe side. However, I have found that by asking lots of questions at the building department.........you can often find loopholes to work within. I had a similar issue when I was living in NC. My garage wasn't big enough to hold everything, so I...

Nice. 10K for the pad huh? That's pretty high, but then again..........you live in NY How far did the 10K budget you on the inside and outside? Siding? Sheetrock? Door?

Off to a great start man, love all of the pictures. I am excited to see how it goes, as I am considering building a garage about the same size. Are you trying to do it all yourself aside from the pour? If so, what are you budgeted at if you don't mind me asking?

Gents, new to the forum here as I have spent some time lurking in the shadows. Found that this site was a little bit more user friendly to garage guys than some of the previous sites that I have visited. Live in TN, currently have a 2 care garage underneath my house attached to my basement. I...
