Hey all,
I've posted a few old pics on the board, but here are the latest and greatest. This garage was built last year. It is 80x60 and I use it to store all the toys and work on the cummins. It has a Rotary 2 post lift (EH) and a Champion air compressor. I needed the 16ft height for the fifth wheel and decided on a 4/12 pitch roof to keep it from looking too "commercial". I also had the overhangs installed for the same reason. My center door is a 16ft x 16ft door so that I could back the 5th wheel into it. The doors to the left and right of it are 20x12 doors.
In the pics below you can see numerous pics including:
-Electrical. I had 400 amps metered. I don't know if I can use that much but you never know. MY father in law was awesome and spent his spare time wiring the garage. He did all the electrical receptacles and the HO lights above. Thanks Stan.
-AC. I bought this 8 ton AC unit from a local company that was going out of business. It was new in the box and I got it for $350. Now I just need to hook it up and make it work. God it's hot this time of year.
- Propane is piped into the building from the outside. I use this for heating in the winter.
- Beer fermentation cellar. I built this shed within a shed to maintain fermentation temperatures for homebrew. Unfortunately I haven't been able to brew since I built it so it's a fancy closet right now.
This is an awesome forum. I Look forward to learning much and sharing the the knowledge I've gained over the years.
Thanks!

MY Rotary Lift ( I love this thing!):
The compressor -- I still need to "pipe" it. I am using hose for a temp solution now.
Propane:
30amp RV hookup and electrical panel (did I say thanks Stan?)

One of the doors is powered by a LiftMaster:
