Long time lurker and question poster

Finally builiding my garage/shop to work on my quad and toys. Building it with the hope of putting in a 2 post lift.

The garage is 20W x 28L x 13H and to the peak its close to 16'.
Its pretty basic, 1 window, man door and 10x10 garage door.

Here are the pictures so far, will keep adding as i'm building.

Slab formed, rebarred and poured. A little over kill with the rebar

Walls framed and installed

That's a pretty awesome place!! Keep up the good work.

Great pictures, love seeing new construction. Question: what method was used to anchor walls to slab footings??

NUTTSGT · May 26, 2015

Looks lijke a nice build and the builder appears to know what he's doing. The one question I have is the pitch of the roof, are you putting a metal roof on ?

* moving to the Gallery Section.

The roof pitch is 3/12 shingled which matches my house. We are putting down a Ice and Water shield that is an adhesive that ponds to the plywood and creates a water proof barrier.
My father inlaw is a waterproofer.

From the pics, I thought it looked less than that. Smart move using the ice shield.

Roughed in the electrical and gas. Hoping to finish up the trench and get the gas/electrical rough in inspection completed this week.

crooklyn · Sep 9, 2015

Made some progress, doesn't look like much but electrical, vapor berrier sure took me a long time.
Garage door installed with high lift. It keeps the door 5-8 inches from the ceiling.
Also sheeted the ceiling, fron and back wall with 1/2 inch plywood, and installed the mezzanine.

Still have to roof, install vinyl siding, form and poor the drive way, finish sheeting the 2 side walls and paint.

crooklyn · Oct 12, 2015

Siding, roofing and painting completed

Mr. Heater 50k Btu mounted and installed.

Lowered mezzanine 4" to allow better clearance for the air compressor and lifted Compressor up

Shop lights installed. Went with my original plan 4bulb 4ft T8 x6 of them. Tones of light!

Installed c channel b2b for trolley setup.

Awesome! just for location cost differences, what does a 10x10 insulated garage door go for there in BC installed w/opener, reason I ask is I just ordered mine for my 30x40 build.

Thanks!

The door with opener was $1610 and install was $300
And it's an R16

Wow, My clopay is $1200 which is insulated, installed with opener, guess I need to kiss him...thanks :bounce:

I like how you ran the tracks up flush with the ceiling, plan to do the same myself.

Rigpig · Oct 31, 2015

Nice shop! I've got a similar build with a thread on here somewhere...Lol.
I picked up a Mr.Heater as well, hopefully installed before it gets too cold.
Cheers!

One fantastic build. :thumbup:

taumac · Oct 31, 2015

Great build.

crooklyn · Nov 20, 2015

Finished installing the galvanized sheeting. Used rivets to fasten them to the wall. Also installed the hoist.

1/2 Cup · Nov 20, 2015

Nice, real nice in fact. :thumbup:

Well done.

Regards

Great build, you definitely have plenty of overhead.
Which brings me to the sky crane, have you calculated how much weight is safe to lift with that track?
I had a similar loft in my old shop. I always hated lifting the heavy items up there. I used a loader tractor most of the time. But that meant moving everything off the floor for the loader to move in.

Nice shop thumbs up.

The weakest point is the trusses and even though they are rated for heavy snow load and at any given point the load is suspend in either end of a truss, I wouldn't oust 500lbs. The stuff it lifts is around 200lbs.

I love the height and size of this building. Also the beam is a great idea.

jwhcars · Dec 1, 2015

Very nice build and it's nice to see your wife or girl friend helping.

I think the wifey helped so much is bc her father is retiring soon and will need a place to hang out

Thanks man!
If I was to do it again I would have made a 6ft mezzanine in the back and on the right a 4ft mezzanine so it would have been a big L shape mez.
Yeah those back to back c channels worked great. Way better then the i beam and way lighter.

G McKay · Dec 2, 2015

Great Place!! That's a man cave that you will be proud to hang out in!!

:thumbup:

crooklyn · Dec 26, 2015

Finally installed the air line drops. Went a bit overboard but it looks great and functional. I ran 3 drops over on the one side and one drop in the other that will have a 50ft real attached to it. Each drop has an isolation valve and also a bleed valve at the bottom. Just have to get some compressor oil and run the compressor and look for leaks

crooklyn · Feb 20, 2016

Workbench in progress
36"W x 37"H x 16'L

1/2 Cup · Feb 20, 2016

Nice workbench, well done and thanks for the update. :thumbup:

Regards

bennelton · Feb 24, 2016

Not gunna lie, I'm kinda jealous of the workbench.

Sent from my toilet.

Dreaming · Feb 24, 2016

Amazing! Really motivating me to start working on my dream garage!

jimmie jam · Feb 25, 2016

Very nice build! I'm wondering why you did not use a wider door and put the walk through on the side?

1Garageman · Feb 25, 2016

Very nice build!!! :thumbup:

For what I plan on doing in the shop I didn't require a bigger door. It's 10x10 so it will fit my truck if needed [emoji6]
Also on the side is where I ran electrical from the house.
Oh yeah and the smaller garage door allows me to have a welding table and gear on the side of it.

I get it. After a life long career in real estate/construction, I'm always thinking of "resale" even in my personal home that I've lived in for 36 years and never "plan" to sell.

I never considered resale. Everything I have done so far to the house was for how my wife and I want it. Not for resale. Might **** IF we ever have to sell but for us, we love it

crooklyn · Mar 1, 2016

Doors and drawers built installed and hung. Still need door hardware and paint. Thinking of going grey for the doors to match the galvanized sides and mezzanine.

crooklyn · Mar 5, 2016

Upper cabinets built and installed. Now I just have to paint.
