finally starting my new dream garage

hello,,,i been following this page for a year or so now and love all the pictures and info from the site.. I been building cars and bikes on the side for 20 years in a 18 x 48 shop and should have built me a bigger place many years ago...but finally I have pulled the trigger on a pole barn. doing a 40 x 100 with 13 ft ceiling across from my shop now.

only have 2 pics so far.. the weather the last few months have been terrible and couldn't get the pad finished

Keep up the good work, when you run into small problems, throw a few curse words around for me will ya?

Looks BIG, 5 doors? what location?

 

[hilomx6]

thanks its going to be 5 10x10 doors im in Bristol tn the last 20 ft is gonna be the office/mancave ,,no progress at all ,,,it wont stop raining long enough to get anything done..its a pond right now pretty much infront of the whole area...question I think I will do a drain in one of the bays to wash cars ect during the winter,,,whats the best style of drain to use,,,for example a long thin one or one square in the middle...thanks for any input

 

[hilomx6]

anybody have any recommendation on the drain question?

 

[Notgrownup]

The long thin one allows for quicker draining, my brother in law put a single drain in the middle of the floor and squeegees for ever...the long trench drains evacuates water fast. If you can have some kind of pee trap it will help prevent bugs coming in.

Love the chevy front end. I want to do something similar for my garage when it's done.
