well long story short, i moved from NJ to SC year and half ago...Lived in an apartment for a year and hated every day of it..Wife and i settled on our first home buy in may and she been telling me to build a shop since so here we are.
Going with a 30x36x12 stick build..going to have 3 coarse of block and then 10ft studs off that..Reason for the block is that i set the garage into the hill so i need to keep the wood out of the dirt +if i want to wash it out dont have to worry about wood getting wet and rotting..Going to have 2 10x10 insulated garage doors and one walk in door... Going with 12ft ceiling so when i get funds i can install 2 post lift.. Vinyl siding to match the house..Not sure what i am doing for the roof yet...Plan to have attic fan to **** out fumes and dust from grinding/welding
so far progress has sucked because of all the rain and im trying to do alot myself to save some coin.. Did all the grading/form work myself with help from friends and had a guy come pour the concrete..Waiting on a couple dry days to bring backhoe back home and take away/grade dirt back out so its not such a mess...
once the block work is done i will be putting more stone over the foundation drain to help water problems
