30 x 40 three car garage build with storage loft
My old 80 plus year old garage had seen better days, and was never big enough. Paid house off this January and decided it was time for a new garage.
old before, empty.
Time to start over. Area was all clay. Some spots we're down 6'+. 10" footing and 82" walls. A retired friend and myself did cement work. My friend/ old boss did the digging/ removal.
I then filled it all back in with good gravel.
The building starts. Just my brother in law, my nephew (8) and myself. He gave me two weeks of hard work. Thanks Dean!
Since my brother in law left it's a much slower process all alone. Wrapping/ strapping outside along with eaves/ soffit. It is almost done though. Windows came in today.
It won't have siding this year, next.
Things to do:
windows, doors, pour floor, electrical and make a set of stairs. There is a 7x12x40 room upstairs for storage.
I now have 4 cars. So I'll need a 4 post lift to get them all inside!
1956 Chevy 150 2 door
1987 Mustang GT
2003 Camry
2009 Ram
I'll try and post more as I go along. I'm a shift worker, so be patient.
