How can I post a larger photo rather than a thumbnail? Thanks

I'm attempting to post a photo.

Thanks for all the input. After reading your comments and giving it alot of thought today, I've opted for 9 ft walls. Mostly because I want it to look in proportion with my house and the neighborhood. As I mentioned, I'm going with scissor trusses on 20 of the 30 ft garage length. This will...

I appreciate the comments. The garage is detached from the house, over in a back corner of a double lot. The lot is lined with tall trees. The walls will sit on the slab, no stem walls. If I go with 10' walls, the finished wall height will be 10' in order for the material to work. If I go...

Hello Everyone, I've been getting closer to building my 24' X 30' garage and am at the point of starting the framing. We poured the slab in early November. Trusses are built, 8/12 pitch with 10' of front loft space and the remaining 20, scissor truss with 4/12 interior pitch. I've given...

I've painted large areas of OSB shelving using roller and brush and have turned out really nice. I would apply a coat of good primer and a coat of good paint. I'm one that would rather roll and brush. I always seem to do a better job with the roller and brush, and no worries of over spray on...

I'm just now getting started on my garage and thought when I get to the interior stage I'd go with sheetrock and find a trim for the joints where I wouldn't have to drywall. I just don't enjoy doing drywall and have always had trouble with joints showing and/or cracking in a garage. I agree...

Looks great. Good work.

I appreciate the responses. No reason to do it now. I was just concerned that they may need filling before wet freezing weather hits. I can always sweep and squeegee the rain or snow off it if need be. As I mentioned, it's been staying dry. I'll wait until I get it framed up. Thanks, Orlando

Hello All, I know there is currently another thread on this topic, but I didn't want to high jack the person's thread with my questions. I recently poured the slab (mid November) for a new 24' X 30' garage. Yes, I'm very excited to start my project and will post photos as soon as I figure out...

Jay, Your project is sure looking good. You have a nice place there. Next time you're over to Cannon, let me know and I'll treat you to lunch or dinner and show you my cars. I've begun building a 24' X 30' garage for my toys. We poured the slab last Friday and hopefully will be moving...

It's looking really good. It looks like you've had good weather to work in. Keep it up and keep posting your progress. Orlando

Good looking Garage! Thanks for showing it. Welcome to the forum. Orlando

I just poured 14 1/2 yards last Friday for my new garage and we had 4 experienced people doing the job. Once it was poured and screeded, we only needed 2 experienced finishers. We used a power trowel for most of the slab and hand finished the edges and around the anchor bolts. We started at...

Hello All, I'm looking to buy a Lincoln Electric Pro-Mig 140. I'm a hobbyist weekend warrior who needs a good all around welder for my projects, mostly small stuff. I'm hoping to get some feedback from those who own and/or use one. Thank you, Orlando

Xander, Congratulations on a job well done! It looks as though you planned very well. I just got my building permit for a 24' X 28' garage. My design plans are very similar to yours. I plan to go with 10' walls with a 8/12 pitch, with vaulted ceiling, and had planned to build the front...

TindJin, Congratulations on your new home and garage. Looks good! Orlando

Looking good. Look forward to you posting your progress. I just got my building permit today for a 24'X28'. Orlando
