Been planning this one for a long time. It's not going to be the biggest, but I'm going for an efficient use of space and materials with two large storage lofts, and a gambrel roof. The first order of business was to clear the site. I had built an 8' x 16' woodshed to store firewood about five years ago. I threw it together with pallets and cheap lumber because the plan was to construct this garage about four years ago :lol: Lo and behold it held up pretty well over all that time and was pretty hard to tear down.

Nice. Keep us posted. I hope you don't have termites! I hate storing wood next to a building.

Are those treadwrights on the Yota?

Yep! 265/75/16s mounted on steel Tundra wheels. Can't say enough good things about them. My only regret is that I didn't go bigger :p
