I'm just about at the point with my new garage build where I'm ready to put down my Amorpoxy coating. Even though Albuquerque has a relatively mild climate, it's been just below freezing at night and topping out in the low 50s during the day. Has anyone tried applying this coating in colder...

Hi everyone, After years of dreaming and scheming, I'm finally building an addition that will include a garage. :3gears: A little perspective: I'm a dedicated family guy first, busy professional second, and passionate car guy third. Our modest home has a one car garage which we converted to...

Greetings, I'm building an attached garage that has a small addition (sitting room, pantry, and closets) between the garage and house. The plans call for 5/8 drywall on the garage wall attaching to the house, which makes sense. But it also calls for the drywall up to the bottom of the roof...

Hi all, First post here other than my inital greeting. After talking to my zoning department, I have a few stipulations that will limit the size of the backyard garage I want to build. The setback from the property lines must be 3 ft., unless I do fire rated walls. The garage also has to be...

Hi all, Was just browsing through some threads on the forum and I got motivated to sign up. I'm planning to get started on a backyard garage this summer, assuming the zoning allows it. I don't have a whole lot of room, but I'm hoping to build a 20'x22' garage, which would be great for working...
