This is my very first garage. I've worked out of sheds, carports, under the tree in the back yard, and begged and borrowed shop space. But this one is mine. It's not big enough, cool enough, or bad enough. But... it's just enough for me to get started on some projects in. Future plans include a 20X24 shop next door with 14' walls and a lift, as well as pouring a slab under the 24x26 pole barn behind the garage and walling it in.
Here's some pics of my build...
The view from my deck, looking into the back yard just prior to the bulldozer going to work:
After some time on the D-8
Just about ready to dig the footings now:
Foundation in:
Framing...
More framing...
Seems like it took forever to get here...
Jumping ahead a bit...
Rocked and ready...
Finally, stuff is in and some much needed work is beginning to take place.
The project took twice as long as I calculated, and I went over budget by about 10%. All in all, I guess that's not too bad. I just put heat in a couple of weeks ago, which makes life much better.
