Leevon's Missouri 4-car attached hot rod parking (new construction)

Welcome to my probably boring garage build! After a couple years we gave up on the search for an existing house with a shop or property that is suitable to add a shop. We bought a 3 acre lot in a development where we could build a custom home and shop. Phase 1 is this garage, Phase 2 is the shop TBD!

Our walk-out house is currently under construction, walls are being framed as I type (October 22nd, 2019). The garage is approximately 28x40 with 12' ceilings. It will be home to 4 hot rods and 2 daily drivers. Some of my plans include:

- Wash bay w/ 10' floor drain
- LED light fixtures
- High lift doors
- Jackshaft openers
- Mini-split HVAC
- 60 gallon two-stage compressor
- Ceiling air hose reel
- Ceiling extension cord reel
- Sink
- Hot water hookup
- Hellfire floor coating
- (2) 4 post lifts
- Tool boxes
- Wall-mounted pressure washer
- Wall-mounted vacuum
- beer fridge?
- faux brick wall?
- Cool signs and stuff...

Congrats on the new build, that's exciting stuff. But did I read that right that the floor is sloped 1/4" per foot?.

Thanks ya'll! Framing is coming along and I have been collecting key items such as; air compressor, air hose reel, extension cord reel, stainless sink, shop stereo, neon signs, etc.

I am debating interior finishes in my head. The first bay is going to be wife's parking spot / wash bay. I'm thinking moisture resistant drywall there, at least on the "wet wall" where the pressure washer will be and so on. The rest of the walls maybe painted OSB? I have that in my business and it's the bee's knees for durability and hanging things. Or maybe I should just stick with drywall and use a durable paint.

Yes that's me, the only Leevon around as far as I know. I have the two trucks pictured above plus a '75 K5 2wd and '87 swb 4x4. Good to see you here Marc! Been watching your Francis build!

Is it weird if I read Leevon and thought "the AD Chevrolet with the cool blue wheels guy, better follow this one". Looks like it's coming along.

Leevon,

Hello from the Pacific Northwest. I'm literally days away from starting my own build (much more modest than yours) so I'm watching with great interest.

We are dried in and rough-in is almost done. The electrician added a sub panel to feed the 230v compressor circuit, mini-split, extra receptacles, etc. There are overhead receptacles for the lifts, clock-height receptacles on the back wall for signs, extra receptacles throughout and 8 integrated LED fixtures.

I had the plumber add rough-in for a sink and outdoor style hot/cold water valve. These items are on my "car wash wall" where I hope to add a vacuum, pressure washer and storage. The Daikin mini-split will also be on that wall.

Still driving myself nuts with floor coating choices! Won't be long until that beer fridge is cold now. :beer:

I definitely like the hot/cold hose hookups! I went with a densifier and Ghostshield on my floor. It gets abused and an "epoxy" type coating wouldn't last. Spills still bead up and wipe clean if tended to in a reasonable time frame.

Thanks for the vote on that one, it is in consideration! Are you happy with it overall? Strengths and weaknesses? I am leaning towards something like that or a new product called TS210 for it's chemical resistance and easy prep. I asked them not to burn in the floor and they kind of stopped short of the finish I wanted, so I have some roughness, trowel lines and texture. It wouldn't be very noticeable with a sealer but I don't think I want to go through the headache to grind it down for an epoxy-type look.

Overall I'm happy for the money spent. My shop gets used for a little bit of everything, and has an occasional burnout take place. Other than where my skid steer drips and then lays there for a week, most oil or chemicals don't stain. I didn't want a showroom finish, rather a floor that would resist staining when I drop a pan of used oil, or pull the lower radiator hose and miss the bucket.

He asked how slick I wanted my floor and I told him it needed to be smooth but not like glass. When it's wet it does get a little slick depending on footwear.

Mines got some paddle.marks in it too. I don't notice them anymore though.

Re: Leevon's Missouri 4-car attached hot rod parking (new construction)

I have a hot/cold spigot in the garage too. IMHO, it’s too low to the ground. Difficult to use. I would like to leave the hose cooled on a rack next to mine and I can’t.

And THERE is the reason for the question mark behind "Beer Fridge" :lol_hitti:lol_hitti:lol_hitti

J/K And man do I LOVE that Pontiac wagon :bowdown:

Kevin54 but she's low maintenance, all she wants is parking and a clean car...it's the kids that drive me to the beer fridge! :eyecrazy: Oh and that's "her" wagon lol.

Garage has been fully insulated. I am also selecting higher r-value doors. With the mini-split it should be able to get it pretty cozy in here.

Nothing exciting to update, but she's getting close. The garage doors are Delden Vintage 600 R19 panels with Liftmaster jackshaft openers and high lift kits. I spent 10 minutes just pushing the button and marveling at their quietness. We have one of those openers on our current house and I have been extremely pleased with it. The lights I purchased from Home Depot and they are 4k integrated LED's. Nothing fancy but they do exactly what I wanted and at $42/ea fit the budget.

LED lights were the only acceptable choice when I built my shop. I would love to have had the jackshaft opener.
