I've got a new set of garage plans. 28 x 32 reverse gable. Post here first.... Then PM me with your address and it's yours free.:beer:

I have to admit since moving to IL. from the warm East Coast, it's been one nightmare after another. Latest problem after the -10 degrees and 12" of snow with 30mph winds. Seems the snow has blown into my ridge vent and I now have a water leak inside the garage and wet insulation. I'm now...

I need to put a new heater inside my new garage. I already have the NG line run and it's time to buy. I was going to buy a Mr. Heater Big Maxx 75K unit from Northern Tool and have it shipped since their stores are nowhere near me. ($472 + shipping). But today I was at Menards and they have a...

Getting close to wiring up for the ceiling lights. Question is; can a 2' x 4' fluorescent light fixture made for drop in ceilings be installed between my 2' spaced trusses? I really like the clean look of a recessed light fixture like the dropped ceiling style. Just wondering if I can drywall...

I've got a 4' slope on the rear of the garage I just built. The guy who poured my driveway says he will bring a FEW loads of dirt to level it out....:eek:

I started the build right after Halloween. Concrete guy told me 2 weeks. Well 3 months later and I finally had the foundation in. December was very cold here, not good for a concrete pour. Frammer also late on getting started, but it is now starting to take shape. Plus I woke up this morning...

I'm putting in a 24 x 32 detached garage. Concrete floor is in, and now waiting on the builder to frame it up. Builder quoted me $3500 to frame it all complete with sheathing the walls with tyveck. Trussed roof with singles on and gable and faccia covered in metal. No windows or doors hung or...

After breaking ground in November, the floor is finally poured. Weather and excusses from the concrete contractor have delayed my project. Hope for better luck from my builder... http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a203/Donzi4me/DCP_0044.jpg

This might end the debate over 2 post or 4 post. Looks like a quality made unit. Any one have any info on these lifts??? Use it for storage or for wheels off work? :thumbup: http://www.mohawklifts.com/consumer/tire.php

Local code here does NOT allow a drain in the garage to be hooked up to the sewer. I can understand that. But they also do not allow a drain to be installed to the yard as run off either. If I put any drain holes thru the wall, it must be filled with concrete before it will pass final. So my...

Just signed up today. And the footings on the new detached garage were poured yesterday, and the 4' wall foundations poured today. :thumbup: I'm sure I will have a ton of questions as progress goes on. Just trying to beat 'Old man winter and get it enclosed.
