wow, what a great build!

I am considering a dehumidifier. It seems ok if I leave the heat set around 55.

The city initially wanted me to get an oil/water separator, but based on cost they allowed me to run the drain into a catch basin filled with stone and then half way up in the basin it has corrugated pipe that runs out to the back of the property. Still ironing out issues with the drain...

Yes, just doing some final touches. Washed my cars in there and got the hose setup ironed out

awesome build....both the mustang and the garage!

After doing the drywall I agree….but I was over budget at that point….so I had to **** it up. I used the 4” pucks for soffit lights.

Now onto more fun stuff. Workbench time: 16' long, 32' deep.

time for paint. The back wall has 12' blocks, so there were some blocks exposed...used up some white tile from a home project to cap them off. Also got furnace installed. Reznor 75,000BTU unit. So nice to have some heat in the garage now. Perfect timing as its getting cold out now.

started to lay down some mud/tape

Drywall going up. 5/8' drywall in a 16' sheet is dumb, especially by yourself.

The city I live in had a limit in SQFT....I wanted a 35' bay for a 30' boat.....this is the reason why I had to not just make a simple rectangle. It would have made my life a lot easier to build a rectangle. Everything was more complicated.

On to the inside: Got all the electrical done. Installed 7 high-bay fixtures. 220V for Air Compressor and welder. Insulation arrived Also got the rough plumbing done for the gas line.

Garage doors are 10' tall....so I can potentially fit a boat later in life. Saint Clair, MI 3 car attached on my house. Floor dimensions are 32 wide x 28' deep, but the 1-car bay is 35' deep

when painting the rough sawn I got my BIL to raise me up all the way to grab a cool photo

Finishing up the outside landscaping. Due to the wetlands ordinance I have a weird grade. So I had to build up the area around the side entrance door....which meant a retaining wall. I used some limestone pieces to build a pretty cool wall. Also got some 6A stone around the entire perimeter of...

Got driveway extension formed up and poured. Like all things with this garage, had to shuttle from the road....but a bobcat made quick work of 8 yards

lighting outside is completed along with installing the two garage doors. 1 x 16 x 10 insulated door 1 x 10 x 10 insulated door First time installing garage doors. It was a big job, but fun to learn. Winding the springs wasn't as risky as I suspected. Had my helper ready when I was winding.

garage is awesome! That camaro though....that is slick

siding on. Pic of the drain basin as well as the air compressor pad that I plan to build a lean-to on to cover.

got the last bits of rough sawn trim on and painted
