"Materials are $11.00 SqFt installed them myself."

Cost seems reasonable for the beautiful result. I have an exposed concrete stem wall below my horizontal siding that I would like to eventually dress with the same product that you used.

Did you use a 'J' channel at the bottom of your cedar siding? I couldn't tell from your pictures if there was a flashing between your capstone and the siding; how did you finish that off?

Thanks again for supplying your cost, that gives me a ballpark for my project cost sheet.

"J" channel would possibly collect water and moisture I bent a pcs of metal that goes behind the cedar and rest on the sill stone.

It's been a couple of months with no progress, due to no cash flow :sad:. This past week had seamless gutters installed. I also bought some insulation and started putting that up.

Hey, don't beat yourself up! You are making progress; just go back to the opening pics of 7/2010 and look how far you've come.

Lools good man. Don't let the slow progress get you down. I've been on mine for like 2 years. Got cash, but got no time. . . Looking back over my build thread always inspires me and keeps me going. Still lots to do!

Great looking garage. I originally thought about doing a single door in the end but after looking at yours I have changed my mind and going to go with two doors on the side like yours. What width are your doors and what is the distance between them?

I'm in need of an additional garage, as my two car attached is now so full of tools and shop equipment that I barely have room to move. Both vehicles stay outside all of the time now. Yes, it might qualify as a candidate for "Hoarders". I've come up with plans that require that the shop is at least 30 X 40 to allow for tools, shop equipment, and work space. When I found this thread, it was like I found exactly what I was trying to envision. This is the perfect shop for my needs. You've done a great job with the design and exterior. I'm anxious to see how you finish it out on the inside. Don't beat yourself up about it taking some time to complete it. It will make it all the better when you have finished the entire job! Please keep posting photos of your progress. And yes, I'm jealous!

Time for an update. Insulation was finished, steel was orderd on Monday waiting for the weekend. Friday after work grabbed some long planks and headed for the steel. longest sheets are 13'7" not a good match for a short bed crew cab pick-up. Saturday morning went to Lowes picked up laser torpedo level as per saleman's advise, got home and realized this would not help me much. Called a friend who hooked me up with a laser up-grade that I could borrow, WOW what money can buy. Any way had to build some friends to help me, three to me exact. It was a long weekend but I did finally get two sheets up:beer:

That's a GREAT looking building.

Gutters will keep that splash off that good looking stone.

Keep us up to date on your ceiling install. I'll be doing this later this year. Hope you'll share some tips and tricks you learned.

I'm shopping for a good deal on that ceiling metal. What did you find for a source?

Best tip would be to rent or borrow one of those good laser levels. This will tell you which walls to follow if a wall is off. Cushions on your helper sticks, strings to get nice straight screw lines.

It's been a long unproductive summer as far as the garage goes. Starting to gather parts needed for garage/house boiler project. hopefully might have some heat by midwinter :). Piping from garage to house needs to be replaced for a much larger one, this was due to not really knowing what I wanted to do for heat. Original plan was to heat garage floor as a zone from the house or smaller type boiler, this new wood boiler puts out way to much heat for the small lines. :mad:. Live and learn !! plan your garages out better. Also started putting up some wall panels so boiler pipes can be mounted to the walls.

Thank You, ktm010. Your build and some others here gave me the confidence to do the cultered stone facia on my new build and a matching update to the original garage.

It's been quite some time since I updated on the garage progress. After the heat install was finished last winter, I continued with the metal ceiling. And finally this weekend I was able to install the T-8 light fixtures.

I love everything about this. If you can, post more pictures of the loft access. By splitting half with scissor truss and half with attic truss, you have really come up with an ingenious solution. And using the lift as an elevator was another great idea in this thread.

You've inspired me to do something similar. This may be the idea I need to get my wife on board.

Very nice! Do you have a cost estimate for your project so far? I'm about to start planning a very similar shop, but debating whether I want to match the vinyl siding on the house or do something different.

Also, how does your heating system work? What is the huge tank for?

I would guess at 35ish. The wood heat works great, the 1000 gallon tank is a storage tank for the hot water.

Was this cost including the heat system? I love the garage and have gain so many ideas from it. The loft is something I never would have though of, and I am so glad I found it on here. Also what method did you use to mount the stud walls to the cement blocks?

Just out of curiosity, what state or city are you near? The reason I ask is because of the rocks. I'm curious if you're in a gold bearing region from the rocks I'm seeing. If you are near a gold bearing region, I'd be inclined to have dug 1-3 feet under that big rock yo started out with.
