110' x 26' Forclosure

I'd make the man door lighter.

Awesome building for the price. The DryVit outsulation is a nice way to spruce up old structures like this. Back in the Late 80's I worked for the West coast distributor for DryVit in Seattle, back then it was Seattle Wall Systems.

I delivered allot of custom shapes and building materials for some of the premium homes in the Pacific NW. I am excited to see what your finished plans are for this build.

Matching walk through door, move the construction co. down stairs play room up stairs. Cool old race cars are they dirt or asphault?

 

[CreteCoater]

They are all dirt cars. They are from Buds Vintage Race Car Museum in town. I traded him some old headlights for a T-Shirt at the show.

Just found this again. The building is coming out magnificent, good job!

 

[Turbotboz]

Awesome score! What is the next goal after the roof is complete?

Just came across this thread...one word...AWESOME!

 

[Anglia Guy]

I just read the whole thread myself. What a great find!! And you did a great job restoring it. I love the building, the cars and the whole deal. Good luck.

 

[DynoDave]

Very cool project. How did I miss this for so long? Subscribed.

Hadn't visited GJ in several months, and this was the first thread I opened up. Very cool project! Excellent save of a neat garage.

 

[Press_Corpse]

Doors look great! I like the stucco. Makes it look a little more up to date and I am glad you kept the brick letters. Are you converting any floors to be used as a home? I think that the top floor would be great with some sunlights.

 

[Duct Tape Man]

Read the whole thread - I am amazed at your purchase, and your ability to try and conquer a heckuva project. I love old garages, it's great to see one coming back from the near-dead. Keep up the great work!

 

[Ole_Red]

this is still one of my favorite builds/saves on here

 

[Slackerzinc]

Any updates on this?

 

[CreteCoater]

This has been my busiest year as far as business goes so I haven't had much time to work on the shop much however........

The top plates are mounted and trusses will be ordered this week to complete the roof.

I traded my neighbor electrician an old hot water pressure washer to install a 200 amp service in a week or so.

Also talked to the sewer authority and as luck would have it there is a lateral running to the building so once its time to hook up the sewer it shouldn't be too bad.

Cool project , cant wait to see it completed .

 

[CreteCoater]

Not having to listen to the generator will be nice!

Got a picture of the front of that big steel monster ? It looks close to mine from that view, just bigger.

 

[CreteCoater]

Here you go. The thing is a beast. Shouldn't have any problem roasting out this drafty building. Working on getting her painted up as we speak.

That thing's a beast. You should have no trouble with heating the place now, except, perhaps finding enough wood to satisfy that thing's appetite. Lookin good, show winter who's boss.

Nice thing about living in coal country

Awesome save and build. I love old buildings like this. Especially when they come back to life. Congrats my friend.

 

[jacksmash]

Love the size of the building and the amount of hard work you are giving it. Seen too many buildings just like this knocked down for lack of creativity. I can't wait to have a reason for something this size.

 

[CreteCoater]

Decided on blue for the furnace cabinet while killing time waiting for a shipment.

I think Will-Burt built alot of things over the years. I think mine is a Moncrief made in Medina, Ohio IIRC. I can guarantee one thing, if it's anything like mine, it'll crank out the heat.

 

[CreteCoater]

Fresh coat of hi temp paint on the face of the furnace.

Electrical inspection this week & hopefully truss delivery.

Another project starting Tuesday so shop time will slow down again for a while but.......that's what funds the project I guess.

For lack of anything productive today, unless you want pics of windows I hung plastic over, here is the completed service awaiting inspection.

Neat trick with the cover plate. I'm always loosing a screw between the time I start wiring until it is ready to close up.

 

[Diesel Dan]

One thing I like about the Square D QO line main panels vs the Homeline is how the power strips are covered and not exposed.

Keep up the good work!
It will be nice when done.

 

[BlackSheepSpeedShop]

Awesome! Best of luck.

 

[CreteCoater]

Had a load of goodies dropped off today.

[FRONK 1969]

Is this restoration anywhere near RAMEY PA ?


Steve

 

[CreteCoater]

Right down the road from it. About 20 mins.

 

[FRONK 1969]

that is a nice area, the Houtzdale area

 

[ADSR]

Awesome thread!!!

 

[CreteCoater]

The beast is almost ready to fire. Just need to run the triple wall through the ceiling.
