I have been lurking on this forum for a couple of months now so I figured I would start out by posting my garage.
I started this project right before my 20th birthday. My house is located in the cities so I was limited by city building codes but I was able to pull off what I wanted after being approved for a variance. The basic dimensions for the plan was 30'Wx34'Dx13'H
Some of the rubble from the previous garage which was located on the lot.
After some excavating and form set-up
After slab was poured
Framing
By the time the siding and shingles got installed there was snow on the ground. The project kind of stayed where it was until spring the next year. At this time the electrical was installed (200amp service), the insulation and sheet rock went up.
Fast forward a couple years this is what it currently looks like, please excuse the mess as I was in the middle of moving and cleaning up stuff when I took these pictures.
In 2-3 weeks a company will be coming in to install the lift that I have been patiently waiting to bite the bullet and have installed. It hasn't been the fastest progress, but now at the age of 25, I am young and have a ton of other expenses as well. My now fiance has been fairly patient with the money I spend on garage toys, especially as the money is almost nearly all a loss as I just play with cars as a hobby.

Nice boxes! Some women never understand why we need so many boxes.
