Looks real nice. I had to go with a 4/12 pitch roof to get under my height restriction. You'll like your door configuration. Ive seen many with one large door on the short side, which makes it hard to get things in and out with moving **** around. I'm curious to see your roof idea, I need to...

Re: My (New) Neighbors Probably Hate Me...But That's Okay - My “Dream” Garage Build Im in Plymouth and you cant throw a cat without hitting a tear down and build. Downtown has at least 5-10 going at anytime. Many small older houses go up for sale in the winter in time for spring demos. We...

Here is my 30 x 40. I was height restricted so I went with a 9.5 wall and a 4/12 pitch roof. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=207837

I went with a pole build strictly based on price. 30 X 40 because of size restriction. Single roof to match my house. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=207837

Yes frame off on the red 65. The frame next to it is from my other 65 442. Both 4 speed cars.

Finally got my electrical installed. Only took 2 years to get around to it. :dunno: Added 4 goose neck lights across the front. 6 shops lights to light the inside. 5 quad outlets around the interior.

Exterior siding and doors installed, so for now its done. Electrical will have to wait until next year.

Project stalled out due to materials not being ordered by supply house. When the siding was delivered the soffits and some siding were missing. Some trim was also cut wrong. Supposed to be here by the end of next week.

Love the idea of using pallet racks as storage/work areas. Im doing a similar build right now and Im going to steal your rack idea for mine. Beats fabbing up a wood bench/shelving unit. :thumbup:

Crew started on the siding this morning. They did the backside and half of the sides before calling it a day.

Slab is poured and saw cuts coming tomorrow.

Shingles are on, door openings framed out, and down braces for the girts are on. Pour is scheduled for Monday weather permitting.

Trusses and roof boards instead of cement today. Its now hitting me how big its going to be.

Framing started today. Pour is scheduled for tomorrow. Found out from the guys that one of my neighbors called to complain about the height today.

Grass ripped out, filled with agg and graded. Inspection tomorrow and hopefully concrete on Thursday. I talked to the construction guy and he told me they used an auger to do the holes. He laughed when I asked, they used the hole diggers to clean out the holes.

It was hotter than hell too, high 80s. I didnt hire Amish but they sure worked like Amish. Took one day and 3 guys to frame it out, dig holes and lay poles. Cement work starts on Tuesday. He wants to get the pad down before framing it and hanging trusses.

The spot where the building is going.. A crew of four guys dropped all the poles in yesterday. Apparently they dug out all the holes by hand with post hole diggers. Trusses arrived today.

First load of lumber arrived today.

I can always add onto the back of my existing because its attached. I can make it as big as I need and they cant say no, weird but thats what he told me. Right now, this size wont kill me money wise and gives me what I need.

200 bucks, and fill out the app on why I need what I want. They announce the request in the local paper, notify everyone within 300 feet, and have a vote after you make your case. My original plan was 40x35 with an attic. I was told it wouldnt pass the board. So I scaled it down to meet...
