North Build

[Logician]

I am ready to start a 30 x 32 garage build on Monday. Thanks to all the guys that have posted their build progress and ideas. The basics of the build are 12/12 pitch with attic trusses for future man cave, 2 10 x 8 doors on gable end, enclosed 8x14 room to house stairs, mech, tools, and entry. Plan to install tubing for future heat in slab. I will include photos soon.

That's a good sized space. Of course we will want to see the pictures.

Some rocks to move, but mostly brush.

Hello -

I'll be looking forward to your build as you are building about the same size as I will be next spring.

Regards,

The mini excavator got busy today. This would be a fun machine to own.

Bigger toy brought in.


Need to get rid of the rocks.


Skidsteer to begin moving fill. Dog wonders what is going on.


I am beginning to envy projects that don't need this much site preparation.

How should I coordinate the exterior to current 22 x 26 garage which is about 30 feet away?

Your other garage looks great! I think we will be needing some more pictures of that one too! haha, Id say match them to look the same

Thanks Jesse. The new garage will house some recreational toys such as ATVs and snowmobiles along with my F350. Here is some of my current garage mess:



And the F350:



I would also like a space to work on vintage snowmobiles.

I think I would have tried to connect the two. Having the loft areas connected would be nice . . . .

Now I see why you did not connect the two buildings.

Thanks for the updates . .
