[Garagetime]

I finally got to build a garage this past summer. It's not finished yet,but closed in for the winter. Now doing wiring and soon insulation. So thought I would post some pics of building. The concert I subed out the framing my friend and I built building is 26x32.

Looks nice! What are he plans for the attic area? Storage or ....?

Post your location so if you have a specific question
Someone in your area can help with a better answer.

Thanks.
There is no attic due to the cost of buying attic trusses or none attic trusses. The price of attic trusses were more than dubble the price of none attic. So what I did for storage is. The walls are 12' foot 8" tall. On the side were there is no lift. I built a shelf 4 feet wide 4 feet down from ceiling. The full length of the garage 32 feet.

Nice ! I envy your sizes !

Thanks.
I would have built bigger,but this is what I pulled off cost wise out of pocket. Scraped all summer long on money. Sold my truck put my hot rod project on hold money and time wise to build the garage.

awesome project... what lift do you plan to put up?...where in nh?

I picked up a not very old 9,000 lb Rotary 2 post lift. I had that before the garage. It was good deal so I grabbed it up. It's already standing up in garage. Not lagged down yet or power to garage. I use this type lift at work and they lift and work good. Dorchester NH

This weekend I finished insulating the garage. I did the walls about 3 week's ago and did the ceiling this weekend. Next I will be moving on to sheathing​ the inside. Then power, paint and I'm sure there are some other things. Also please excuse the mess.

 

[Garagetime]

This weekend I got the gable vents installed and wired up the outside lights. I also now have all the sheating for the inside walls. I plan to get the sheating done 4th of July weekend. Then it will be on to painting.

2x4 or 2x6 construction? Overall height? That is size I need, but would spring for the attic. for bonus room.

Your build looks good, I believe in paying as you go also. Always a good choice.

Building is 2x6 12 foot 8 inchs inside height. I too would have liked a attic, but the difference was alot. The trusses I have were $1,500 lowest price I got for attic trusses was $3,800.

 

[Garagetime]

Got the sheathing all done. I got it all painted inside. Starting to put things away please excuse the mess. Here are some pics of how things are going. Next is getting power to it.

 

[Garagetime]

Today I got the platform all built and the furnace set up on it and bolted down. I still got to vent and wire up.

 

[Garagetime]

Not much going on with the garage. Mostly putting stuff away I did get the meter pan and entrance cable, weather head up. I got to run one more line then call power company to hook up.

 

[OH_Varmntr]

What a difference a little while paint makes on the interior. Nice building you have there!

 

[Garagetime]

Finally got power Wednesday last week. Also got new compressor . I got tired of looking at old rusty tank junk. Every time I looked at one seemed to have 2 to 3 inch's of rust and muck in it. I also mixed and pored the pad for my oil barrel.

 

[Garagetime]

This last weekend I put up the piping for the furnace. I also set the oil barrel. Just got a few more things to do and I will have heat.

 

[Blackhawks63]

Thanks! I will be putting a roll up door on next summer. I also will finish trim and painting. I only painted where something was going. That would be in the way of painting later.

Well been doing some work in the garage. Been pretty busy I have been in the process of switching jobs. I made a top for a bench I built. Made it out of a sheet of 3/4 plywood cut in half glued together. Then I had the rear floating plate of steel from a old alinement machine. The plate is 16 inch's wide by 5/16 thick and 75 1/2 inch's long bolted to top of bench. I also bought my tool box home from where I use to work.

Well messed around the garage this weekend. Working on some projects for the garage. I made 2 wood tops 1 for my Snap-on box. The other was for a set of 3 Harloff cabinets I made into one unit.Harloff cabinets are very nice ball bearing slides heavy guage steel. I still got to get all the cabinets painted one color.

 

[rmalkow2]

Very nice garage build. And I like that set of three cabinets you put together on wheels. Makes for a nice mobile work surface and lots of storage.

Been working in the garage mostly on my hot rod. Today I finally found a used electric stove and got it wired up in the garage.

So been doing small projects in the garage. Hung up some more peg board. Finally found 2 more 16 gallon drums. I cleaned them up and painted them. I'm also working on a stand for my drill press.

 

[Garagetime]

[Garagetime]

I got the drill press stand done. I also made a bracket and mounted up a hose reel. I still got to run air to it. I did some more work on the bead roller I built and made some shelf brackets for in my house.
