Color me jealous, although I personally wouldn't go for the whole "no windows" gig.

Great design and wonderful job on the garage. I do have a question on the item you used between the bottom wall plate and the concrete. What exactly is that and why did you chose to use it?

Really looks nice. From the front it does not look all that big but inside is another matter. You put up some hefty steel but the resulting open space is spectacular. Will this be a simple stable for the family vehicles or will you be hobbying out there as well?

My '60 Falcon


My '62


My '63 Nova SS

Nice design! I noted some interesting features in the construction, like the 4x4 bottom plate, the steel straps used on each stud. I wondered if these are required by local codes, were they spec'd in the plans, or is this just the way this builder works?

I think you will be very happy to have the steel beam, its never going to sag, and the clear-span is a great feature.
