A few updates since almost 1 month ago. I got the walk through door installed as well as the windows. I constructed stairs to the loft area and installed railings. Waiting for some dry weather so the masons can do the brick veneer.

I love it. Tell us more.

I got my concrete floors done this week. 4 inches thick and 6 inches in an area to the left side where a lift will go. Workers were here all day laying the concrete and then waiting for it to harden enough to be troweled smoothly. Last guy left at 11:30 PM last night. I really appreciate the...

The ends of the loft trusses will be closed in so it can be insulated. The "room" portion of the attic trusses will have a rail with an opening to allow heavy objects to be hoisted to the storage area.

Yes, 10 ft. walls. Scissor trusses provide 18 ft. of height at center, so plenty of room for a lift. 2 stalls of scissor trusses. Loft is 16' wide and approximately 20' in length splitting the length of the building. Stairs will be 3' wide to be built after concrete floor is done.

If it were me I would drywall the ceiling. It will brighten the space up immensely as well as protect that insulation. It is also fire retardant and will help to quiet the space. No negatives IMO.

Roofers came out last week and finished covering the new garage. Good feeling seeing it under cover. Due to some storm damage last summer with hail, we decided it would be a good time to take care of the house. Insurance paid for the replacement there.

That is a huge project you have going. You have a beautiful lot, so I can see why you would want to purchase the adjoining lot. You did well. 17 trucks of concrete? I can understand the stress, but it will be forgotten as you enjoy this for many years to come.

Roofers come next.

More.

Framers showed up this week, brought a crane, and set the trusses.

Truck showed up today with roof trusses. Couldn't deliver at the building site due to fear of getting stuck in mud, so were dropped 300 ft. away at the road. This drive was cleared for the construction to avoid damage to our concrete driveway. This drive will be closed off at the end of...

Some progress. Rain and muddy conditions have prevailed here, preventing the fill to compact properly, so builder decided to skip the concrete now and proceed with framing.

Snap On has the PPG paint code on the sticker usually with the model and serial number of the box. I repainted a box that needed freshening up. I used the paint code number off the box. The paint PPG provided was a single stage enamel. I think it turned out fine.

Masons worked hard for three days; we have a foundation. Next is to backfill and compact to prepare for concrete floor next week, weather permitting.

Awesome garage you have there. Planning makes a huge difference in the outcome, and it looks like you did your homework.

Thank you El Monte for the kind words. Moving slowly due to waiting on masons, but did receive a few deliveries to have the foundation laid hopefully next week. The brick will be a veneer to cover the blocks.

Very nice work. I love the natural setting, it looks like it will be a nice little retreat.

Looking towards house. Shame to have to remove trees.

Garage is in an area in the woods about 100' to the west of our home. It should complement our property nicely. 935961[/ATTACH]
