This is a super job. Sure is an awesome work space.

I agree. They did a great job building it. Sure looks good.

Thanks to everyone for all the nice replies. I have to give credit to the folks that built it. They all did a great job. Now it's time for the sucky part. I get to move all the **** from the old garage to the new one. It's going to take some time to sort out the mess but for now it's moving...

Everything is done and the final inspection is complete. I just need to do trim now and move in. UPSTAIRS (WOOD SHOP)

250k is nuts. I built a two floor 3100 sf 4 car heated garage, built into a mountain, steel main structure, 10' concrete walls, with an office. The second floor is a wood shop. I spent a little more than 250k. I also had to blast and move tons and tons of dirt and dispose of 22 trees. I live in...

I took a break from aviation for about six years. I will never forget the day I entered the hanger after that long break. The smell of WTR grease hydraulic fluid, synthetic oil, jet fuel and canvas covers all mixed together is a great smell. Every time I got to Cheyenne for something I hear the...

Thanks. They won't either here. They used this shielded conduit wire in the whole project, even behind the drywall. It's also critter proof. https://www.amazon.com/Southwire-68580001-250-Foot-12-Gauge-2-Conductor/dp/B000BPAHCK/?tag=atomicindus08-20

Finally got some pics. The electricians are supposed to be here this week sometime. All of the contractors working on this have been super to work with. I already moved in the top floor sound system. This is temporary. I will figure out the placement of all the sound stuff later. Top floor...

Well, time for an update. The drywall is installed, taped and textured. The paint is done on the 2nd floor (except for the floor) and the 1st floor is almost done. The bottom floor heater is installed. We still need to install the top floor heater. We will seal the concrete floor next spring...

Sounds like a good start. Good luck. Hope it goes smooth.

I just ordered some of these. They look good on paper but as I said, I have not seen them installed and working yet. They are covered and they have adjustable intensity (from 3900 to 5600 lumens) and color (35k - 4k - 5k) so that's a plus...

Things are moving forward. The garage is now insulated. The sheet rock starts going up on Monday. I have the heaters and pipe. The bottom floor can be installed anytime. The one upstairs can be installed once the drywall and paint are done. The folks that are supplying the windows screwed up the...

Our county requires that wed install a charging outlet. My inspector actually recommended that I use the one that our electrician is installing as a hookup for my welder.

Things seem to be going slow but that is because the things that are getting done are the details and not big parts. The sheeting is about 60% done. The wiring is ready for the "rough electrical" inspection. The only thing that is keeping us from putting in for the framing inspection is the...

The use for the proposed area has not been explained so an informed answer is not possible. My second floor is braced with 14" steel I-beams, per the engineer. No span is more than 11'. It is designed to be able to work on ATVs and UTVs and to support things like commercial table saws. If the...

I am still thinking about it. Right now the wife has some health issues and the garage project has taken a lot longer and become a l more complicated than we thought it would, thanks to the former architect. I want to get the project done and see how her health issues go before I take on that...

The wife insisted the garage doors get done before Christmas and we are still waiting on the windows to come in. We put them up to avoid the intense whining noise if we don't. It will probably save her life. I am cleaning floors for a late family Christmas and she keeps getting in the way. I...

Not a lot of progress lately. There was a delay in coordination between contractors. The excavators did some backfill and some profiling on the road to the back of the garage. They also dug trenches for electrical and the propane tank. There has been some wiring done. They will be back after...

Yeah, dealing with the county has been a challenge. The county next door (Weld County) is a lot easier to deal with. The difficulty and fees seem to increase with depending on which zoning ideologies one has to deal with. The more agricultural areas seem to be less draconian and nit picky in...
