Hello! I just stumbled upon this forum while researching garage attic truss modifications and I got so excited. This forum is so perfect for me I can't wait to browse and contribute!
A little about me, I'm a shop guy, live and breathe it and always have. Also a tool guy. My brother and myself have collected most tools that exist and even some pretty unique ones. We have been doing this our whole lives since I was about 6 years old. I'm currently 26 and recently moved out of my brothers house leaving behind our first shop to branch off with my own shop.
And here she is:
I have only lived here a few months. To be honest she's not as big as I'd like but it will have to do. [emoji12] It's 25x30ft inside dimension with dual 10ft wide doors.
The plans are enormous! As I said I just moved in so the garage is bare bones and I haven't started anything yet. In fact this is how it currently sits.
The plan so far is:
Complete rewire
Insulation
Drywall
Epoxy floors
Natural gas forced air furnace ( already picked up a 40,000 btu furnace )
Lighting
And a car hoist! Already got this too
There is also somewhat plans to convert the trusses into a room for additional shop space...... (it's 8/12 pitch!!!)
Again though back to me, I am a certified machinist - I work in the automation field, avid wood worker and jack of all trades. I have lots of plans to build cars too. I call myself a project addict.
Thanks so much for this great place! Ask me anything!
