new garage starts monday

[sboxs]

ok they start digging monday We are adding a 24x30 garage to our home it should be completed on january 9 here are some before pics of the clutter in my current garage and where the new garage will go also one of my C 5 the Z06 is at the storage garage until its home is built

 

[bmwpower]

Where is the new garage going to go? In front of the other one?

Wow. Completed by Jan 9th? Pretty agressive schedule. Good luck. Building new is always fun.

Are you doing it yourself?

 

[ChucksCrib]

You've got some nice tool chests tucked away in there

Keep us updated with progress pics

 

[sboxs]

yes its going on the front of the existing garage if you look in picture 2 you can see the red lines in the grass for footings I have a contractor doing it but he has done a lot of commercial work for me and he always makes his deadlines (weather permitting ) the old 23x24 garage will stay as the family garage and the new addition will be for me and my toys

 

[Fort94Z]

Is it going to be attached to the existing house and do you then need to get the brick to match your house? It’s going to look great. Good luck.

 

[sboxs]

yes they are out looking for matching brick and it could be a problem as house is 17 years old but we are hoping for the best

Quick deadlines and he always makes it...I might need to talk to your contractor one day
Good thing this morning's snow isn't too bad,you should still be able to make the deadline.

Please document the build with pictures on this site. My contractor doesn't think that he will be done until February, and my project has been framed and elecrical rough-in is done. We have been underconstrustion since August 1st.

Thanks, and looks like you will have a great shop when you are done.

[sboxs]

snow snow snow but we started today yehaa

 

[sboxs]

some reasons why i need a new garage

 

[DaveL.]

Good reasons..

 

[Donzi4me]

Nice Z06... Better get that puppy inside...

Keep us updated on the progress of your build.

 

[Luckydevil]

Damn, nice Z06. How do you like it?

 

[sboxs]

two problems so far more snow on friday plus my town has 10 different inspections during the build process hope it dosen't slow us down to much

I'm keeping the Z06 in a storage garage until mine is finished so its in good hands and well protected. I have had alot of toys porsche's muscle cars sports cars fast bikes and my fatboy and without a doubt the Z06 is the best at everything car i have ever owned

IT RIDES ON RAILS AND IS SCARY FAST plus it helps that when I got it in October it was only the tenth Z06 registered in the state of new jersey
I bought at Kerbecks in atlantic city had it on order for a year and when I stopped at the chevy dealer near my house I was the center of attention as no one at the dealership had seen one yet. One day when I still had temp plates on the car I was pulled over by a state police car because he wanted to see one in person we bs for a half hour ,he has a 67 427.

My yellow C5 is my everyday driver and it dosen't come close to the Z06 as you can see I could go on forever but I'll stop now and just say
I DRIVE IT WITH TWO HANDS

 

[sboxs]

by the way i 'm going to put in a colored cement floor quarry red not sure what is going to look like put i'm giving it a shot

 

[sboxs]

pic's are of first day work, today they poured the footings and pass the second inspection tomorrow snow so dont think much will get done but they did deliver the cinder blocks late this afternoon

 

[sboxs]

lost two days work last week because of snow but we making progress

 

[autoist]

Are you gonna remove the brick from that wall? & the window?

 

[sboxs]

the window comes out and that is where a door will be. the brick wall remains as is and will be the inside wall of my man-garage with no stikin woman allowed

 

[DaveL.]

with no stikin woman allowed

The only time my wife is allowed in the garage is when she's getting in and out of her car.

Dave

 

[sboxs]

the original 2 car garage is all the stikin woman will be able to use the new one will be a man-garage filled with beer cans and nekkid pictures

 

[Throttlejockey]

You better make that thing bigger if you're planning on putting your cars in there.
How are they going to fit?

 

[RARE-ASC]

now i see how you are placing it was not sure before

 

[sboxs]

Well we are going to miss the first deadline those two snow storms and some cold weather slowed us down but we did finally pour the slab yesterday Its red colored concrete looks way cool, roof should be finished by friday, bricks are being delivered friday also and should start on monday, sheetrock starts friday . So it looks like our new deadline is the 20th still not bad for 7 weeks from start to finish and it only cost a hundred grand !!!

 

[sboxs]

here some pics the floor is covered so i'll have to get them next week

 

[OldCarGuy]

Thanks for the update.
Wish I could work that fast! That crew that you hired my be a little off their target date; but by the looks of things you’ll be moving in soon.

 

[DynoDave]

[bmwpower]

Who installed them for you?

 

[nbaff]

why only one window in the front?
