did you think about windows on the side facing the road, to match the house?

Love the lawnmower storage idea but I've decided to keep my mower in the attached garage instead. My mower creates too much mess after use. Coming along nicely!
Another view showing the lawnmower garage entry
Its coming along and looking great! I like the lawnmower/yard tool room! I was just looking at my tractor last night...thinking I want it and its buddies out of my space as they do leave a slight mess. Think I might move them to the attached. Oh well, good luck with the build!!!
air conditioner arrived today
nice!

Nice job for 4weeks work, I have a truss roof on my garage, not much storage space though.Should keep dry with all that ventilation.

Please let me know how the 24,500 BTU unit works ... I was told by someone that only a mini-split A/C would work well in the Texas heat. Will this be a wall-mount or window mount?
I think as long as you have proper insulation a window unit should work just fine. I will have 6" in the walls and 15" in the ceiling. The attic will have good ventilation and the garage doors will be insulated. I will let you know even though it was below freezing last night air conditioning season is just around the corner.
It will be a wall mount.

It's interesting to see other countries techniques for construction of a brick garage.

Just curios, how does it differ in the UK?

Great progress. I love the brick!
It is interesting to see the different building techniques just 70 miles away. When I compare the garage JDishong is building, http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=158755 , to the garage I am building there are some differences.
His slab uses a different method and I used coated osb where he used foam board on the sides. We both used the same roof sheeting with the foil on the underside. I am not sure any one is better than the other just different. We will both end up with great garages.

Most brick stuff in the UK is just that. The walls would be entirely brick rather than just a facing to the wooden structure

Inner walls would 99% of the time be thermalite insulated block work with an insulated cavity. Similar to the sweedish garage show elsewere. Or just a single skin build of just bricks or breeze blocks.
Here's an example that shows block build but his house extension shows brick and block http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=66490&highlight=england&page=7

If you get a chance can you get a picture of the A/C unit exterior for me? I need to see how far it hangs outside the window frame. - THanks!

My walls are framed with 2x6.
Thanks. I have seen some "hotel type" units that are much maybe 24"-30" wide and 18"-24" in height and they fit within the wall; nothing hangs out. I don't think my HOA would allow this but I'll check. - thanks again!
