40x64x14 Build in Ohio

[HiItsMeJimmy]

Been lurking for a while so I figured I'd join the community! Build is fairly simple. The two garage filled up rather quickly so I finally pulled the trigger on something bigger to hold a couple toys. Garage will progress as I get time and money!

Land wasn't the greatest so it took 3 days of moving earth.

 

[HiItsMeJimmy]

Building squared up and marked off, trusses also dropped off.

Got the holes dug after work

 

[HiItsMeJimmy]

Finally starting to look like a garage!

 

[HiItsMeJimmy]

If the weather hold off monday I'm hoping to have the trusses set and rough in the plumbing!

 

[classic boost]

nice! that's a lot of earth you moved. where in ohio?

 

[HiItsMeJimmy]

Weather hasn't been the greatest so progress is slow...

Looks good.

 

[HiItsMeJimmy]

Were getting there! Digging trench for drains and power tomorrow.

 

[Pate]

Man I would kill to have that much space. Awesome build!

 

[HiItsMeJimmy]

Still going at it! Hoping to have it graded and ready for pex by the weekend.

It's coming along nicely. What's the planned use of the building ?

 

[oilslick]

[Aaron P.]

[HiItsMeJimmy]

Holy Spring! Came home from work to find this. About 2.5 feet of water ponded up in the trench.

 

[NUTTSGT]

uh-oh . . . . somebody hit a water line ? Hopefully it's not septic.

 

[HiItsMeJimmy]

Hit no line, appears to be natural spring.

 

[JimL]

Spring? It's fall here now.

 

[Justanoldguy]

We are into our first week of spring here.

 

[HiItsMeJimmy]

Gotta give credit to the excavator, he took care of the problem the right way!

Even got bathroom roughed in

 

[HiItsMeJimmy]

Gutters tied into drain, water, phone, and cable line ran to house.

Looks like it is going well. Hope to see more pictures soon.

A few posters have asked a couple of questions. Some common courtesy on GJ is to answer questions if you want others to follow your build.

 

[HiItsMeJimmy]

Garage is located in St.Clairsville, Ohio. A few amish guy put it up and a buddy is helping with the excavation.

 

[Justanoldguy]

How do these Amish guys compare in price to your normal contractors?
They seem to do everything at break neck speed and still turn out the most fabulous looking workmanship. Love checking out their builds.

 

[Capstone]

Great start to a really huge garage (it's a warehouse in my book really)

Looking forward to seeing hour you finish it up.

 

[HiItsMeJimmy]

Amish were $3,000 cheaper to put up the building and $2800 cheaper to pour the pad. They are 104 miles away one way. I worked out a deal with them and bought home depot gift cards through giant eagle and they use the fuel perks to drive here. Well they don't but their driver does! I'm pleased with their work plus they show up and work! Hard to find these days.

 

[HiItsMeJimmy]

I can buy more beetles when I get this thing finished!

 

[HiItsMeJimmy]

Few pics of that the new garage will be housing!

St.Clairsville!!! Sweet your about 30 minutes north of me!!! Sweet garage, and keep it going!!! What amish did you go with?

 

[HiItsMeJimmy]

They are from Martinsburg, Swartzentruber is the last name...

 

[NUTTSGT]

I thought you were going to have a ton of room if you were putting Beetles in there but that Lincoln will take up the same space as two VWs.
