Hi Group! Super excited to finally share my dream come true with the forum! On December 2016, I joined the Garage Journal as I drooled with the idea of building a workshop. Back then it was infinity percent impossible, but through incredible amounts of sweat and effort, was finally able to make...

Hi Group! I have been out for years but finally my workshop dream is transforming into a plausible reality! I think I am weeks away! While all of the paperwork is shuffled in and out, I have a question regarding concrete slabs. For the workshop, I had been quoted for a 4000 PSI concrete slab...

Considering a massive Accessory Building (as called by my city) is not something you pick up at your local Walmart and pay up with a credit card, what techniques have you employed to pay up for the addition? 1. Is it a financing deal where you do a construction loan, second mortgage or whatever...

Hi All! For four years I have been day dreaming with building a workshop to house my hobbies. It is the first time in my life in which a project has proven to be so "impossible". I think I must be missing something here... To give you a little background, I use to live in a house with a 350...

Hi There! My name is Jose Quinones and I am so glad to have found this place. Three months ago we sold our house because my two car garage was just too small for all the goodies I have amassed. For the past four years, my goal has been to either find a house with a nice metal building or enough...
