My 36' x 32' Build

[keukawake]

I have been lurking since the spring, borrowing ideas, etc. I thought I would post my mostly completed new garage. It is a detached (for now!) 36' x 32' footprint with poured footed foundation. 2x6 walls, downstairs ceiling is ~13.5' with 16" I-joists (12"OC) for the 32' continuous span. Upstairs has 6' kneewall and scissor truss (can't remember pitches right now), center of ceiling is ~10.5'. Garage doors are 16' x 9' and 11' x 12'. R19 insulation in walls (+R3-4 foam on exrterior) and first floor ceiling, R38 in attic. Here is the plan, and also before and after pics:

Next the framing (which happened too fast to get many pics!!) :

Inside and insulation (and siding):

Still a bit of a mess as I kind of just threw stuff in there when the cold came. Still need to do cabinets in the lift corner, do a bit more trim work downstairs, and finish the upstairs (just paint and probably ¼" ply floor for now).

It has been holding a nice toasty 50-55° (measured by wall thermo, themostat is set at 50° and reads 50°). Nice to not winterize the boat this year!

Have only done a couple minor jobs on the lift, but man, how did I ever change the oil before . . . .

I obviously have a ton to do still, but overall I am very happy with the result!!

Nice job, the large boat door is a good idea. I am working to design my detached and trying to learn all I can. Thanks for sharing.

Wow. You started at 10:31 this morning and were finished by 10:42. Wish I could work that fast. Nice job BTW.
