Garage/Shop Projected started Here are some Pics

[JOE.G]

There Trusses, I am unsure what your questions is, I Can try and snap some better pic's of this area but a lot of it is closed in. There may be better pic's if you go back though them.

 

[JOE.G]

Here are some newer Pic's the Project is mostly done, I have some Fine tuning to do here and there and of course build Cabinets and what not, I still have to finish off the upstairs, it is usable now and has OSB up on the walls, but I would like to some type of wood over it, have a few ideas.

Nice garage and super nice ride! Is that a 91' or 92' Z? Love the 3rd gen's!

 

[JOE.G]

That is a 86, with 92 Rim's and Wing, I have the Hood Blisters from a 92 also, all painted and ready to go on, I am unsure which I like better so I have left the stock ones on as of now.

Here is a link to a thread where the photos were up loaded directly.

[NASTYZEN]

[akcooper9]

Amazing work. Thanks for sharing

 

[1/2 Cup]

Awesome job, you should be justifiably proud, thanks for posting.

 

[Joe13]

Awesome looking! once I have enough land to build a shop, your build is going to serve as a guiding light. love the design, use of space, and finishes.

 

[JOE.G]

Thanks guys, In the Spring I will prob start working on the upstairs to finsh it off and make it a nice comfortable hang out.

 

[JBourquin]

Eastern NY huh, keep an eye out for a 5'8" blonde sneaking around your yard. If my wife ever saw this thread she'd probably hunt you down to steal your dogs...

Awesome garage by the way.

 

[JOE.G]

Yeah on the PA Border. There good Dogs, my Female is a Retired Show dog, quite a few ribbons and awards on her shelf, My Male he is a young Knuckle head but very smart.

 

[SmokeyBC]

Thats a great looking design. love the finished look.

 

[kendogg]

Looks awesome! What did you use to stain it? My uncle has a garage sided just like that, and he coated the whole thing with used motor oil.

 

[qdvuu]

Nice job!

What's the max load you can lift with the block and tackle? How did you install the eye bolt? Screwed in, or does it mount to a backing plate?

 

[kendogg]

I'm going to assume it's just for looks.

 

[JOE.G]

The stain I used is a real old stain I got from a guy that had a couple pails of it, I could not read the label, I tried it on a Piece of wood and I liked it.

The Block and tackle is mostly for looks but it is up though the top and bolted to a plate and brace, the whole jut out is reinforced and should be able to hold a decent amount of weight.

Looks like the Security force is ready and reporting for duty.. Beautiful build as well as countryside..Well done!

 

[davo727]

Arent those the same kind of dogs as in the movie the Omen ?

 

[JOE.G]

YEs the dogs will not allow anyone on the property who do not belong, they each have proven so which does make me feel better. It is nice country here.

 

[kb1luo]

Awesome job Joe!! That is art in my book!! This has to be one of my favorites on here.

I do have a question on your 45's that you put in to keep the building stable. Looks like you notched each 2 x 6? Did you do this with a saw or router?

 

[Xporter]

Wow, great build!

 

[hippie2cams]

I started to comment on your horseshoe over the door, but I see you took care of that. Being from Texas makes you look at things most people don't see. Great looking build, I'm sure it will make you happy for years to come.

 

[dubber]

Love the results.

 

[IlliniBone]

Great build, any pics of the loft/living area?

 

[rowyco]

So what's this Bud Light build you've got going on here?

 

[JOE.G]

KB1, They were cut with a saw, fit nice and tight.

Hippie, Yes me and my GF were debating about which way to hang, She researched on Web and came up with different answers, I hung it her way for a bit then one day when she was not home I flipped it around, not sure if she has even noticed.

Illin I don't have any pics of the loft area and I am not sure why. Ill have to take some, Right now it has four rough cut built doors in each corner to get to the storage areas, and it is finished with OSB at the moment, I plan to do some sort of Pine T&G or something not sure yet,.

Row, I use the Bud Light stand for holding metal coolers and kegs for get togethers, Ill integrate it in to the bar area when the upstairs is done,

Thanks for all o the nice words.

 

[rmckee]

Quite the space. Really love the look!

 

[ARCTIC_RAGTOP]

This is a great build. Love the design, and the security system!

 

[ct71rr]

Very nice! Fits the landscape perfectly. Looks like it's always been there.

 

[JOE.G]

Thanks guys, It does fit nice there I had to remove about 10 trees and a couple fruit trees, I decided to keep the one apple there even though it is close but it has done well and produced great apples this year.

 

[Bears Fan]

Great barn! Beautiful property! I won't be coming over and stealing anything soon!!!

 

[JOE.G]

Yes they are proven at keeping people that don't belong out, the one on the right is my Female she is a retired show dog with many ribbons and awards. The one on the left is my male he is very smart and has been though quite a bit of training.

 

[JOE.G]

Here is a link to a Site that has the Pic's, If you guys can't see them here.

[riggsjr]

Very nice job....

 

[JOE.G]

Thank you I am proud of the Job.

 

[Crackerballer]

Any update?

 

[JOE.G]

I have some more shelving and what not but much else has been done, I do have the heat going and all the OSB is on the walls upstairs, But I do need to Finish the Pine and build the bar and what not upstairs, I may do that this year.

 

[zanyad]

Ran across this beautiful build. I see you're still active on GJ. Can you post an update, ten years (!) one? Thanks!

 

[JOE.G]

I don't have any photos handy, but everything is great still, Obviously they are never big enough, Upstairs is a many cave that turned out very nice. I have not hooked up the radiant heat but have a Propane fireplace up stairs and a hanging 75 K Mr.Heater downstairs that will heat the entire building which I leave on 50 Deg when not out there. I have switched to all LED lights using the same fixtures. I do Wish I would have added a full Toilet/Shower and may do a small addition to do so. I have contemplated adding a lean to off of the left side as well.
