Mohawk has a special attachment that fits onto the lift pads that will lift the vehicle by the tires.

Yes there is a little daylight there. Originally this had a gable sliding door. I left the track from the door up and created a little overhang just to shield the top of the doors since there isn't any eave on the roof. I need to close that off as well as a couple of other very small areas where...

The garage doors and openers are installed. Now I need to take a break to focus on the AACA Fall Meet at Hershey. I'm the Chief Judge for the meet so if any of you are judging be sure to introduce yourself.

Great project. Subscribed

My parents have a 12x24 garage like that that we keep a 66 Galaxie in for 13 years. No problems with the floor yet. Now I don't turn serious wrenches in there either.

Question on the compressor since I'm starting to shop for one. I can see it's a Quincy but what model? Do you know the flow rate?

My attached 2 car garage has 2 8' doors. But one of them is 3" away from the inside wall. There is 10" from the edge of the door to the outside of the house ... basically just more than 1 brick length. My parking situation is similar to what Ocho described above. The passenger side door in that...

This is what I'm hoping the inside of mine will look like in a few months.

I've been working ... just not as fast as I had hoped. Foam insulation installed on two walls and studs added. I didn't take pictures of the back wall last night. There will be a loft in the rear: 7' from the floor and about 4.5'x16'. There will be a space so that I can park a car under it...

The floor is finally done! 4000 psi concrete at 6" thick through the main floor. Two in floor drains to handle any rain or snow run off or a little car washing in a pinch. Now to decide if I want to do an epoxy coat before I move in.

The plan is to insulate then I'm thinking that I will use the corrugated steel like the outside of the building on the interior walls. More just for the ease of installation. There is a local supply house that I can get the finished panels for the interior for less cost than the drywall. For...

NUTTSGT ... let's see if these pictures show what I'm talking about. The floor was just poured so I could get a better measurement of the issue. I've attached pictures of the front and rear walls of the building. If you look at the bottom of the truss and follow along the wall you can see that...

I was looking at something similar this afternoon. I was thinking of sistering another post to the short ones to lengthen them. I would then add another band board above the existing one to get my height. Lord knows that I can't draw a straight line to save my life without CAD. When I first...

The excavation for the floor was finished on Friday. The concrete guys were here today to prep for the concrete. I wish I had the budget for radiant floor heat. Propane forced air will have to do when I get to that point. The forecast is for rain on Thursday so the plan is to make the pour then...

The trusses are 4' OC so there are 10 of them. I was thinking the same thing but ... Michigan Mike hit on one issue that I saw today. The end posts have enough height but 3 of the center posts are cut flush with the top of the existing band board. This happens on both sides of the building. I...

I've started a build thread on my 30x40 pole building rennovation. I've got a question on raising a roof. This pole building was really built "inexpensively" by the previous owners. From what I've been told it was a church barn raising. So, I've found that the rafters were not set level. It...

Nice use of the red PowerTwist Plus belting on the drill press. I used to work for the manufacturer and designed/improved some of the manufacturing equipment used to make it.

This week, more progress. Trenching for the electrical and water, and excavation for the floor. The previous owner had lights installed in the shop so when we looked at the property I assumed that there was power down here. I failed to notice a pigtail with an extension cord coming out of the...

Here are some pics of the driveway installation. This is 12' wide from the existing driveway down to the shop. There is a 30'x30' pad in front of the shop for turn around space. Eventually, the gable door will be changed out for two overhead doors. I'm hoping for 12'x12' doors, but I will need...

My fiancee and I relocated to PA last year. We actually closed on our house Christmas Eve day. After a year of permitting reviews for the driveway, rennovations on the 30x40 pole building finally started this spring. Here's what I'm starting with. The plans are: 1. Install a driveway to get...
