dream garage in NY

[Engineer13]

Hello everyone, long time veiwer and im finally deciding to build my dream garage. Will be doing most of the work myself to save some $$. I purchased my house and land last year along with a big old barn on it. I will be deassembling the barn and moving it to a different location on the property for storage of trailers, old cars, tractors, stuff prior work being done to it. The reason for moving the barn is because where it currently sits is the prime location for the garage to sit. (barn has foundation issues etc.) SO this year im planning on moving the barn and prepping for the garage foundation. this is a huge undertaking but will be well worth it in the end i believe.

Current garage design is roughly going to be 95'long and 68' deep.
68' by 43' is going to be a high bay and the other half is going to have a second floor in it for a gym, hangout, trophy room, man cave etc.

The high bay part im thinking of having two 14x14 garage doors at each end and around a 18-22ft ceiling, would like some input on this. i plan on putting a partial overhead crane on one end for working on whatever need be. This side would be for tractors or an rv height wise.

On the other part im thinking of having around a 12ft ceiling, i think that would be plenty high enough for a 4 post car storage lift but would like to hear what other people have for this. this part of the garage is roughly for smaller things like trucks cars, motorcycles, etc.

i will try and post pictures of what i got going on here soon.

95'x68'?

That's way too small. I'd suggest thinking bigger.

im sensing sarcasim.... ha

 

[BeachBoy]

I think 14-16 is better for a lift paplication

Post the plans if you have them.

What kind of construction? Stick, steel building?

Somewhere in NY a tax assessor just came in their pants and doesn't know why.

"On the other part im thinking of having around a 12ft ceiling," think about having a van up at working height , might be tight. I used sissor trusses to solve the problem, just a thought.. and as to size it is never big enough I wish I had built my 40 X 60 , 60 X 80!!

i dont plan on putting anything over a car on the top side of the lifts. and maybe a car underneath so i dont plan on needing a ton of room like stacking vans.

Property values will increase.

+1 on the tax assessor! You must not be building down here on Wrong Island..........

 

[Engineer13]

located in the central new york region, yes taxes will increase but already paying taxes on a large chunk of land, currently not being farmed.

with having the garage to house a large tractor i will be able to recoop my taxes on my entire property + gain net profit each year just is selling hay alone, thats the plan anyways.. pretty much a hobby.

 

[Engineer13]

the best part about starting it this year is that i will gain a TAX EXEMPTION up to 8 years....
so i see it as a time to start!

JMO but I'd suggest finding ANYTHING other than hay, alf-alfa, or the usual grains to sell. Plain grass hay especially is simply a necessary evil expense to owning animals, not a business to be in for profit after fuel, maintenance, and machinery expenses are factored in, nvm your time. Even with proper equipment (self-propelled mowers, modern balers, stacker wagons, grapples, and spears), A1 quality fields thatre disc'ed, picked of stone, and re-rolled every year or two like my relatives in CNY have so its quick/easy/dont have to handle every bale 5x...its a royal PITA for a commodity that sells for practically nothing. The horsie folks will make you think small top quality mixed squares are $5-6 per or more and in short demand, in reality theyre $2-3 at peak demand and even then youll be happy when you can get a hay dealer to offer the lower end of that just to make it go away.

Looking forward to the build tho. What part of CNY?

Welcome aboard Engineer13, I am down in the southwest part of NY, about an hour directly south of Rochester. I grew up north of Syracuse in Parish, NY. Sounds like a nice build, looking forward to pics when the time comes!

Hoping to add diagrams today

the design is going to be based off of this plan, two high doors on the left
