I absolutely love it. Love the mixed materials, shed roof--everything.

Absolutely beautiful design. Reminds me of mine, a little. I did the corrugated siding on part of mine, too.

Another 1' width on my wife's garage door. She already scraped her car on the door frame...

I'm doing rubber matting cut to fit the treads and risers. Was supposed to be done today, but the rubber matting failed to show up.

The Big Green Egg! Nice grill.

I'm in the same boat.

Thank you very much. Had a couple pals over last night and we had approximately 10,000 beers, listened to tunes and played Gran Turismo 5 all night. It was really mellow and fun. I love the vibe in the garage.

Thanks, everyone. It's been a welcome change to be able to park inside, especially as it's been in the -20C range the last week or so. I don't have anything really fancy to park in there, just the wife's MDX and my 2003 S8.

These pics are long overdue. This should help those thinking of doing can lighting. Cheers.

Hey guys, any reason a natural gas heater wasn't an option? I'm building a garage that's a little under 800 sq ft and put a Hawt Dawg gas heater in there. If I set the thermostat up from 45f to 65f, it reaches temperature in about 10 minutes. Tested it earlier today, and it's about 15f outside...

The electrical is going to be finished off tomorrow end of day. Really excited to see all the pots with trims on . ALso pulled my HDMI cable last night for tv. I think I'll be cracking a beer or seventeen on Saturday in there.

If you can hang on about one more week, I'll be able to post pics of my garage/hangout which is all 6" cans. I put in 28 of them and my garage is a little under 800 sq ft. ~25 x 26 plus a 12 x 12 bumpout on one side. They painted over the weekend, so they should probably be finishing off the...

Is that a little Mackie mixer?

Thanks! My buddies are in there right now doing a wainscoting on the lower part of the walls which are insulated pony walls. In the current pictures there's plywood on them. We're going to put on laminate "hardwood" veneer flooring on those areas. We found some cheap stuff they can work with...

Oh, and the steps on the left hand side are there so that I don't crack my head on the roof when I take the garbage out. There's a sidewalk on that side which is at grade to the alley.

I wasn't sure if the neighbours would think the metal siding was too "out there", but some old folks walking past yesterday told me they thought it was neat.

Thanks guys. No crawl space, it's just that the grade of my lot and the back alley required it to be that way. The house is a 1950s four level side split and when it was built they altered the grades to make it a partial walk out.

Progress as of yesterday. Siding is on, except for the stucco part of the build on the 12x12 bumpout.

Started posting about my build in the lighting sub forum, but thought I should move it here. Getting close to finishing the thing. It's a 25x26 with a 12x12 hangout zone on the side. Here are some pics of the build as of a few weeks ago. This is an awesome site , by the way.

Hey Michael. because I wanted my garage roof slope to match my house, and because of the local bylaws, my ceiling height is quite low on one side, as you can see in the photos. It's 7'4" on the low side and rises to 9'10" at the high point, down again to 8'9" at the far side of my hang out...
