I have been lurking and absorbing infos on this forum for a while now. The 3 millions re-bar carpet machine that I was working on have been returned to Italy and as an operator/mechanic, I have been laid off. So UI is paying me now and while I check for a nice job, I get some free time to build myself a garage. Since time is the main DIY factor, let's not pass on this. I'll figure out the money aspect later.
So cutting the cost is the main factor here since the income is quite low, but so far I think I did a good job of going around the big cost.
Damaged foam boards, junk concrete filling, almost free re-bars, cheap gravel, flood and 8 bucks compacting rod, used thermofoil and a bunch of drunken helpers to pour concrete.
Here the frost line is at least 4 feets, so to cut on the cost of the machinery and concrete, I opted for the FPSF system, witch is an insulated slab system that fools the footing to be in a warmer aera by placing a L shaped foam underground that redirect the frost away from the slab.
The garage dimensions are 16 wide x 24 deep x 10 high+8"per foot homemade trusses.

Are you carrying it to where you need it or am I missing something?
