40x64 Menards garage

Well I finally got the concrete in and it looks great!!!!!!!! The trucks barely fit under the 12 ft doors and I didn't know they made trialing machines that you ride on!!!

How much space do you have between each garage door?

I bought the garage at Menards but it was shipped from Midwest Manufacturing out of Wisconsin, .

Menards owns Midwest, they also own or have interests in a door manufacturer, a pressure treating plant, a nail, screw manufacturer as well as a Cabinet making company.

I think the spacing is 24 inches between the doors but the doors are 12 feet wide so there is plenty of space on the inside for opening doors on my cars.
Didn't know Menards owns Midwest, but I figured they had something going on with them.

Started building my recreation/game room in my garage, so far it's been going pretty good, doing the inside walls with 1/4 log siding.
The room is 18 ft wide and 39 ft long with 9 ft ceiling with a bathroom in the back corner.

Doing the ceiling in the cave with knotty pine tongue and groove.


Doing the walls with quarter log siding, about done!


Got the bar built.



Next I'm putting a mini split system in to heat and cool the room.

It looks really nice, thanks for updating. What are you doing for a finish?

I sealed it twice before I put it up, I used Sikkens-Proluxe UV Interior sealer. I wanted the natural wood look.

That really looks good, I couldn't tell you had done anything to it, so I guess it looks natural. Applying it before installation is definitely the best way to go.

Yep, you can't tell it's been sealed, it soaks in and dries in about 30 minutes.

The stuff we used took forever to dry, the customer wanted a whitewash, then we had to poly it afterwards. Of course we were outside, in the summer, on a lake. There were black flies stuck to the surface everywhere. Once installed we had to touch up a bunch of spots, but it turned out nice. I like yours much better.

Got the recreation/cave room about done, never set up a pool table before but it was a pain to get it level on the new carpet.
Just bought some Liftmaster garage door openers so that's next on the list.
