Great progress. This will be super nice with the lift and dedicated space.

ENPhoto · Jul 10, 2020

Nice!

I'm looking to do an in-ground lift too. Undecided between the atlas FM9SL or Twin Busch S3-19.

Any more pics of your pvc sleeving between the lifts? Or the one to the control box?

DEllis · Jul 20, 2020

Siding done on the outside.

I'll post up some more pictures this week, but we're in the final stages of the work the contractor is doing.

* Drywall guys will finish on Monday
* We have three days to paint the ceiling
* Garage door installed on Friday
* Electrician coming to install the light fixtures and switches the next Monday.

DEllis · Aug 31, 2020

Sorry for the delay with no updates. Quite a lot has been done since my last update. Contractor is done with the garage. We're still working to fix out the inside.

Lights and the door installed.

IMG_0678 by duncanrellis, on Flickr

Redid the lights across the front of the garage.

Pavement was laid last week

IMG_0014 by duncanrellis, on Flickr

This was a door from the mudroom that used to go outside. We didn't want it to go into the garage so we removed the door.

IMG_0699 by duncanrellis, on Flickr

We took advantage of the removed door to rotate the washer and dryer, which gained some space in the mud room. Also stubbed in for the garage sink.

Contractor came by to rough in the mini split.

IMG_0682 by duncanrellis, on Flickr

Next steps are to finish the air lines and electrical. Then it's drywall and insulation.

DEllis · Sep 14, 2020

Insulation is complete.

All the electrical and airlines are roughed in. Ready for drywall.

DEllis · Sep 18, 2020

The lift works.

Oh wow! That’s fantastic! More details on the lift?

Are you going to just condition the space in the new garage?

The lift looks great. What’s going on it first?

It's an Atlas FM9SL from Greg Smith Equipment.

Yes, we're conditioning just the new garage. Drywall is scheduled for the end of the month, so hopefully we'll be able to get the walls painted and the mini-split installation scheduled.

thickhead · Sep 28, 2020

That is a great space you are putting together. Congrats.

DEllis · Oct 1, 2020

Drywall has been started. It's amazing how quickly this can make the space start to feel finished.

Any thoughts on wall colors? I was thinking a light gray, with dark gray window and door trim to hide finger smudges and marks.

Lift fits nice and flush to the floor. Will have to raise the stops slightly for the tile.

IMG_0805 by duncanrellis, on Flickr

Borrowed some scaffolding and knocked out the ceiling and wall painting.

The doors in the last picture are for a separate office refurb we're tackling at the same time as the garage.

Ls1Lark · Oct 19, 2020

Shop looks great. I’m biased since I have a flush mount scissor and can say you’re going to like using it to work on your projects. This weekends project for me is building a wheeled worktop to span my platforms.

DEllis · Oct 22, 2020

Mini split was installed today. Unfortunately the weather is perfect so I'll have to wait for colder weather to get a proper op-test.

Looking at the picture of your mini split installation, it looks like the lineset runs inside the wall cavity, is this correct or is it just the angle of the picture?

BTW, my garage is very similar to yours in design, having scissor trusses and is about the same size, but it will be years before I will insulate, drywall and install a mini split. However, it is great to see what the finished space looks like.

DEllis · Oct 24, 2020

Yes the lineset and drain is inside the wall

Wiz02 · Oct 25, 2020

Thanks for the response, what sort of insulation is around the line-set in the wall cavity? I've read that rock wool is the way to go in case of condensation forming.

DEllis · Nov 1, 2020

The wall insulation is fiberglass, but the HVAC company wrapped the lineset in insulation as well.

DEllis · Nov 1, 2020

Internet, air, and electric all hooked up.

Next up is trim for the interior doors and windows, and then we start the tile.

This is the Nest camera plug. The camera is installed outside below the soffit.

Are those interior lights LED?
I am at light selection stage and looking at options.
I hung LED strip light in old garage as a sample.
The strip light offers no ability to change out (different K value), so an LED bulb style maybe a better choice...

DEllis · Nov 2, 2020

Yes, the lights are all LED

DEllis · Feb 25, 2021

Finally back on this project. I pivoted for awhile to finish my home office. I bought the cabinets, but built the work surfaces, risers, and shelves.

Project next up on the garage will be the tile. Have a separate thread below as I have some questions.

Well, after a few months of work on the weekend, I'm almost done with the tile. You can see the related thread referenced in my previous post.

Newage cabinets have been ordered but they're delayed. No estimated shipping date at this time. Next up is the final setup of the lift. Getting closer to the end.

That’s really a nice looking garage. Good work

DEllis · Jun 6, 2021

Tiled the step today. Still need to grout, plus paint the trim and caulk.

IMG_1144 by duncanrellis, on Flickr

Also adjusted the lift platforms flush to the tile

Looking good .. A man can never have enough buildings.. or tools and toys to fill them with

Cabinets installed. Still have a bit of work to do moving in. My stuff has been piling up in the other garage for a year now. The NewAge pro cabinets seem nicely built. They were certainly heavy. Had to use a floor jack to get the wall cabinets up on the cleat for hanging.
