Well this is my first Thread I am starting to officially "show off" my build.
First and foremost I would like to really thank Scott, user XcYZ
for giving me in inspiration to start my build. I wanted to do this for about 10 years but never really knew how to start but after seeing his garage it pushed me to chase this dream.
I had to open a can of worms in order to build, but with that all behind me
and am in the race so to speak.
The pictures will come at a fast pace for now. Lots of pictures by the way. Today my rough in passed with only one small issue that the inspector will look over during the final inspection. So the pictures will slow down but I will still post as it gets done. I was going to wait until it was all built and then post all the pictures but another member Teamchevy
suggested I start one now. So here goes
I removed a 24X26 old garage that had a 7 foot ceiling
but I am building a 24X24 with a 9'6"ceiling
ok here they come,..............
so as you can see it was an eye sore of a garage but it did work to collect stuff and stuff and stuff. The walls were leaking and that plywood was a water shed. No kidding it would flow down the walls. The garage was on city property and so was the fence. I could not do any renovations to either. The city wanted it/them to fall down so it could be brought back to the property line

got r' done. Peter one of the owners, power trowelled the floor 8 times with about a 30 minute wait between each session. in those 30 minutes he was on his knees on special pads hand trowlling the edges. When all was said and done, he said to look it over in the next few days, and garanteed me not even a pin hole will be in the floor. He was right it is perfect, just like the stemwall. He is coming back in the spring to seal the floor. The pour took place Oct 15th I do believe and stayed above freezing for about a week.
The window is worth $1500 and considering the 36X36 slider one for the garage package was $189 plus 5% GST tax (goods and servives tax) I think I made a really good decision.
Glad you got that insulation in before it became cold there!!
. Soooooooo, the old pad was cut and maybe in the very near future, the pad will be a carport then a 3 walled carport then I'll just a garage door
