32x28 Garage flush mount lift and 12ft ceilings

jctaylor · Oct 16, 2020

New member here. I have been quietly taking notes on all of your garage builds and my time to start has finally come. The garage is a new construction stick build on foundation. It is to be: 32 foot wide and 28 foot deep. Roughly 12.5 foot ceilings and roof to have a 10x12 pitch to match our house. This should leave me with a decent size room upstairs for storage. To access this room we decide to install a outside staircase to the second story for ease of access.(recovering pack rat) On the front facing wall is to be two 12x10 doors 12 wide 10 tall, the left wall (adjacent to our home) will have a man door and a double window. The back wall, a pull through door 10x8. The right wall is just that. Inside the garage I plan to install a flush mount scissor lift (more details when I reach this step) that I just ordered today. Hope you all enjoy this thread and may it help someone who is thinking of building a garage soon.

Start date 9/21/2020

Walls starting to go up. 10/5/2020 2 walls up

jctaylor · Oct 16, 2020

All the walls are up and wrapped. 10/6/2020

jctaylor · Oct 16, 2020

Trusses are being lifted up. Contractor said they normally install themselves but with the size of these it was better to hire a crane. The crane reached well over the tree tops. My neighbors are starting to realize what's going on I think. I live back in the woods so they can only see the trucks coming in and hear all of the work going on. 10/9/2020

jctaylor · Oct 16, 2020

Roof and singles on 10/10/2020 though 10/15/2020

Started working on siding. Of coarse we had a few boxes delivered of the wrong type so could not complete. Waiting on correct material now. 10-22-2020

jctaylor · Oct 27, 2020

Siding delivered and trim/flashing installed. Waiting for some fill dirt and hopefully concrete by the end of the week. Now I need to make sure I get everything right for my lift! 10-26-2020

jctaylor · Oct 27, 2020

Taking a inside look before the concrete poor. Also a glimpse of the upstairs room from underneath.

Thanks! I have been waiting a long time to have this and it is definitely starting to sink in that I will be inside the garage soon. The builder is great! so easy to work with and stays on task, I feel that is a rare trait in the construction world theses days. I am lucky. The weather in VA isn't too bad yet we are still in the 60's

Fill dirt in and prepping boxes for in ground lift 10-27-2020

jctaylor · Oct 28, 2020

In ground lift box measurements

jctaylor · Oct 28, 2020

Painted Location of holes to be dug out tomorrow in preparation for concrete to be poured (may be set back due to rain). Holes in wood are for PVC 4" to house the Hydraulic, air and power lines from lift to external console.

Very cool build especially the in ground scissor lift! I wanted to do that but couldn't get my **** together before my foundation was poured!

slik560 · Oct 28, 2020

Very well documented. All of this could come in handy some day. Hopefully not, but it's good to have all of that documentation & photos should you ever decide to sell the property.

nc.detail · Oct 28, 2020

Great progress. Which brand scissor lift are you going with?

bradpac · Oct 29, 2020

Very nice build. I'm currently planning out a 28x25, wish I could do 32 like that, the extra room would be nice. When you get your lift installed let us know how you like it, I'm debating one like that or just a standard 4 post.

thammel · Oct 29, 2020

I also have a 32x28....it's barely large enough LOL! Have fun - looks great!

Kevkx125 · Oct 29, 2020

JCT looks and sounds like you have a cool build going on. What are the plans for the 2nd floor -storage or social room.

capterik · Oct 29, 2020

really enjoy what you are doing, very similar to the 32x30 I am currently building. subscribed.

buzzboy · Oct 31, 2020

I've never seen a truss delivery trailer like that. Very cool!

Thank you, Its still possible if you really want to. I have seen a lot of people cut out and install in existing slab. Just a thought

Thank you, yes I almost went 28x28 but I had the room and really wanted the extra space to work. I will keep updating and will definitely tell all my thoughts on the lift!

thank you, I know it will never be enough but I think it will be a great start for me compared to my 22x22 attached garage.

Thank you, Current plans for the 2nd floor is storage. (with the ability to change later) For now i will be trying to organize the best I can to have easy access for long term things I don't use often to keep the shop clutter free. After the inspector is out of my hair I believe a outside staircase and 3' man door will be added to 2nd story for easy of use.

jctaylor · Nov 9, 2020

10/29/2020 Ok I have some updating to do! lift boxes in place and running the PVC for the hydraulic lines to control panel
