My New House With Attached 20'x48' shop.

Thefastest4dr · Jan 14, 2018

Hey guys, just wanted to share with you my new shop construction process.
I had a 24'x24' detached shop behind my old home. It didnt take long before I grew out of it. My wife and I decided it was time to upgrade.

Here are a few pictures of my old garage, the first few pictures were taken in 2011 after I moved in. The last photo was taken a week or two before i moved out in 2017.

Cool so you sold and bought another place?

Thefastest4dr · Jan 14, 2018

Construction started on September 1st 2017. Here is a snip of the plans and the hole that was excavated.

They "tented" the sides/rear of the house and put the moisture barrier and chicken wire up today. Ill have some more pictures/updates up tomorrow.

Cool drone shots (assume). Interesting floor plan. From elevation plan, wouldn’t know there was a huge shop attached. Good job. Like the “secret” rear stairs to basement.

Thank you. Photos were taken with a dji mavic pro. Kinda nice having the capability to see progress from the air. The stairs are going from the shop to basement. The basement will be a future mancave with a bar and pool table :beer:

I’ll have to post more prints so you can get an idea of what the interior is like, I’m working on hosting my own photos so it’ll be easier to put up larger amounts of them. :rocker:

Cool place and congrats and the new house and shop. My wrenching area is 18 x 40 and even with a lift is a very workable area. I bet this is way out of the norm for that neighborhood, has anyone been asking you any questions about it?

Sweet setup!!

Thank you, that is reassuring about the shop size, I was slightly worried about the narrower width (compared to my old shop). It seems very usable now, hopefully after i move all my tools in it will feel the same haha.

Some work Im doing on the inside of the house. Working on getting the posts set for the railing before the trim guy comes next week.

Looks great.

Going to be following this as my garage addition is going to basically be the mirror image of yours (building a 24x38 on to the front of my existing 22x22 car garage).

Those railings are going to look incredible. I can't wait to see the finished product.

Thefastest4dr · Feb 3, 2018

A little update, I still haven't touched the garage yet. The focus is finishing the house then working out in the garage. Im currently waiting on my trim guy to finish the stair cases so i can measure for my railing panels. I did get the posts set, they are huge.

little update on the shop build. built a 5x20' shelf along the back wall because of the wasted space from the walk out. Walls and ceiling are painted, most of the lighting is up. Getting the garage floor prepped for epoxy now. The railing is finished in the house. my honey-do list is getting pretty long lol. Thanks for the gander

That railing looks very nice!

Homebody · Jul 13, 2018

That's a killer looking staircase and an equally impressive house! Very different layout of which I haven't seen before. Nice!

What size is that garage door on the right? That really changes the looks up a lot being a non ordinary size. At least it looks that way?? :thumbup:

Xander · Jul 13, 2018

I love the additional garage setup and the stairs into the basement. I am wondering about the dark colored ceiling... the look is great, you don't see that too often, but does that make it darker in garage? (hard to believe with all those LEDs)

Beautiful place. Any chance you could share the upstairs plans? I'm building a new place soon and kinda want to steal some ideas.

It’s actually really interesting, the colors in the garage seem way more vivid. My guess is because of the non reflection off the ceiling. This sounds mad but that’s the only way I can discribe it.

Yes I can find them, the upstairs is a theater room with a media closet. Since it’s over the garage it’s insulated on all 6 sides.
