Finally started my 28 x 34

[FlameOut]

We dug the footer yesterday, poured the footer today, and I decided to get someone to lay the block. My back is killing me. Will be about 575 total block

In my initial post, I was going to go with all block construction, but everyone wanted $2.00 or more per block to lay, so I'll just frame it, and do the work myself. Will have 10' walls, and 2 9x8 doors

Garage will be to the right of the house, beside those trees in the background

Looks like a good start, I built my 24x32 about four yrears ago, had the foundation done and the block layed then framed it and did the rest myself (hard work but enjoyed it) keep us posted on the progress

Congrats on the start. You'll back at this post about a year and a half from now and think "My God, it was that long ago?"

We got all of the block laid today, now I just need about 4 tri-axles of fill. I'll see if can post some photos later.

Getting kind of exciting now that it actually looks like something. I don't know how many times a laid it out in spray paint last year

Here are a few more photos. I just need to find lots of fill now, before I can do much else

A view from the old garage to the new. No block laid yet in this shot. Garage will be back to the left of the bobcat

Nice size shop. You will have lots of room for that sweet 67.

Here are a few more shots of the progress. It's going kind of slow, as it's only my son an I doing the work. We had to build the wall on the street (flat) an carry them to put them in place. so we built them in sections. I still need to add the top plate, some jack studs and cripple studs.

I was going to try to pour my floor first, and built the walls on a nice flat surface, but I'm having a hard time finding fill, unless I want to pay about $3000 and have something delivered

Looks great. Keep the pics coming.

Not moving as fast as I would like, but here's my current progress. It's a real pain doing all this work with only 2 of us, and not having a nice flat floor to work from
