Kiruxa's Garage

[Kiruxa]

Hello Gentlemen,

I have been lurking around for a while now, gathering some ideas from all of you and realizing that this forum is going to be bad for my wallet

A little bit of history:

I have always been a car guy, always wrenching etc. Unfortunately for the last few years my garage was a sad one stall garage in the current house which i'm not posting photos of.

It was time to upgrade the house and therefore the garage. I wanted to build a garage as big as possible and wife wanted me to have it no matter what. The main purpose is to play with both of my vehicles, learn welding and finally a spot for my project E30 M3 which is still to come

I managed to get approval from the developer to build a 21' x 24' garage with 9' door to accommodate my lifted truck with RTT.

Things to go into garage:

- Epoxy flooring
- Insulations with plywood/drywall walls and ceiling
- 60A Panel
- Gas line with thermostat controlled heater/furnace
- Additional fluorescent lighting
- MIG welder service
- Work bench
- Lift system for zodiac boat and RTT
- Ethernet cable service for TV etc.
- Air Compressor
- Other misc. items to come

I will use this thread for updates and such, as well as, the finishes that will go inside of my new shop.

Criticism, advises and opinions are always welcome. I am new to this. Now onto the photos:

Yes the sonotubes were obviously used as piles. I don't know enough about concrete/sonotubes to find anything odd about it lol.

Im in Canada, Edmonton.

Thanks for compliments!

Yes I had a choice of 300+ colors for garage door and I just could go with plain white lol.

Yes, I'll keep the updates coming.

Where is your house? From the pictures it looks like a neighborhood that has a stand alone garage in front of the house. It looks like your garage is all by itself with no house behind it?

Ah sorry the house is behind the garage, here's the overall shot.
