Long story short

Moved home a couple years ago to be closer to family,step dad died and left mom alone @ 84

After a extensive search , found no places with garage anything near like I wanted so ..

Bought a nice older home and knocked this down

Big Dad · Jan 19, 2016

That building from the outside looked kinda good, it was all stucco and everyone thought it to be a wood structure but ..nope

It was clay tile all covered up , one touch with the back hoe and it it fell into a pile of rubble

Squankum · Jan 19, 2016

So now you park your cars on a patch of dirt?

Just kidding. I'm sure more, cooler pics are coming. :thumbup:

Big Dad · Jan 19, 2016

I started in May 2015 making calls to get the building down and hauled it away, it finally went down Sept 6th

Then, on to getting a pad poured

32 x 38

Big Dad · Jan 19, 2016

The concrete got poured Nov 15th

Took 100's of calls, lots of "too busy" and "can it wait"

Lucky the weather held all i can say.. found one guy that told me the truth and showed up as promised

Big Dad · Jan 19, 2016

cold conditions to build in

Big Dad · Jan 19, 2016

Should have trusses set today , weather is lousy though

RangerSVT · Jan 19, 2016

Brrr... cold time of year to be starting a build! Sounds like a nice size garage. Looking forward to following the build.

Big Dad · Jan 19, 2016

Tried to get it done sooner but ..

So many people promise to show up and don't it is just one set back after another .

It should be close to enclosed by next week , we have a nice January thaw headed in .

And, maybe by March(ish) move in

Squankum · Jan 19, 2016

Wow. You've got to be tough to work on it at this time of year.

Well, on the bright side, I guess you don't get much freeze/thaw cycle there? Not much mud or slush.

.

Big Dad · Jan 19, 2016

10 months of winter and two where the sledding is bad

Typical , End of Dec, Jan(sux) Feb can be either crappy or nice, March, snows but warm(er) most often

End of April, May, June, July, August, Sept beginning of October are all nice

Trusses are up

Big Dad · Jan 25, 2016

he did not use the vented material here , he said he was going to do it where the gables are

Not sure if it matters but, he said he would change it out how I preferred

Does it matter ?

https://scontent-ord1-1.**.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xft1/v/t1.0-9/12642876_10208686166861379_5633699826394757501_n.jpg?oh=beacbac0056c1a527b18477879537ad5&oe=572A0895

COSMOS · Jan 25, 2016

Big Dad, if you were to have a fire inside with the door open the vents you want at this soffit would draw the hot air and fire into the attic space. The fire code where I live does not allow soffit vents above windows and 24" in a vertical plane to either side.

https://scontent-ord1-1.**.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xft1/v/t1.0-9/12642876_10208686166861379_5633699826394757501_n.jpg?oh=beacbac0056c1a527b18477879537ad5&oe=572A0895

Firebird 1 · Jan 25, 2016

vented soffit should be on the eaves. This along with baffles between the rafters, and a ridge vent will allow ventilation to the roof. Vented soffit on the gable end does absolutely nothing. If there is a fire, I dare say the vented soffit will have no effect on anything.

Big Dad · Jan 25, 2016

Ok, well I seen it and questioned him and he said his way would be fine, then after 10 minutes called back and told me he would change it

everything I have read says do it that way

The UBC fire codes states otherwise, appears he is in a rural area with little or no inspections.

Are you installing drywall or any sort of panels on the interior ceiling.?

Big Dad · Jan 25, 2016

Yeah, small town , county does not have many rules

big reason why I'm here :lol:
