Did the building inspector bust your balls about the windows now being 18" off the floor?
Super nice shop, house and view. looks great
Just one thing that i would think about... using 5/8" fire guard drywall on the ceiling of the shop.. would hate to have a fire down there while you were sleeping, its code up here.

If he lives in rural Texas, which it looks like he does, there probably wasn't a building inspector. I have built two houses and several shops and barns and I have never even talked to a building inspector.

What type/brand of floor tiles did you use? That looks like what I would like to do, but all the tiles I am finding, won't hold up to jacks, jack-stands etc.
Looks great by the way!!!!!

I'm really liking the choice of interior finish materials in this garage. Where do you get unmarked OSB like that?

Your shrine looks mighty fine! Mind if I ask where you found the plans? Better yet, are your reworked plans available? What was the final cost; or is that something you haven't tallied up and really don't want to know. Ignorance is sometimes preferable when the wife asks those kinds of questions (heh-heh)!
I got the un-finished cabinets from LOWES and put them on a 6" pedistal. I'm 6'-4" and like the extra height. I could not find decent handles/knobs for the cabinets and drawers so I installed plated "eye bolts".
I just re-read your question...you asked about the "kitchen"...same answer, different knobs.
Thanks, it's slowly coming together.
I designed it and hired an architect to make me honest. I found out that honesty cost about $2K! It is a basic "Saltbox" design that I altered to accept a lift and store a full size pick-up camper (My "Goober package".) above a lifted vehicle. Floor to ceiling, I have 24 foot to play with and I still have a 20 X 21 room upstairs. The building is 37 X 30 not including the 10 X 20 outside storage. The structure minus 2 Post lift and landscaping was about $105K. Cost is subjective though, there are a lot of variables. I'm on a hill with lots of rocks and I insisted on certain building standards and techniques that impacted my cost. I also saved by acting as my own contractor and buying all contents not considered structural.

I like the eye-bolts for drawer pulls idea. Thats pretty cool...
Bottom panels are disabled. Inspector...Insmechtor....we country folk don't need no one telling us the obvious! We see a problem..we fix it.
Thats right, whats an inspector in rural texas?
Ok somebody jump on his *** because of the windows, please, you do it to me, dont be prejudice!!

Absolutely beautiful. We're not too far from you and we too have the rock problem. It's going to be a challenge when we start our build. We'll definitely be referencing your build when we start ours! Looks fantastic...

I first wrote this in the other thread, then realized there was an update.
Awesome garage build!!!
As many have stated, I wish I visited this site before I built my garage, I could have gotten more ideas.
I have a brother who lives out in the Bulverde area that has the same experience with the rocks as you have. He also has a whole slew of vettes that he says are great for the curves driving to / from his house. As both he and I are vette fans (both members on CF), what vette is parked under that cover? Any others?
As it appears that someone named your garage "the shrine", my wife has dubbed mine the "GarageMahal", 34' x 31' room upstairs with ablcony, full bath, some storage, one bedroom, and large funroom.
Again, awesome build!!!

Very cool garage but I think you man cave up stairs got a little girly looking.

OW!!! Some things we should keep to ourselves!
Actually, you got me. When my "basic" garage morphed into the Shrine (as she calls it) it became her area. My best intentions were documented in an earlier thread. See the outlet boxes containing the cables (RG 6, HDMI, and Audio fiber) with the up and down power that was originally planned for the big screen and surround sound system.
The likely hood of it not being a bedroom in the future is greater than it not being a theater! Patience, Grasshopper.

I havent read the earlier thread, so this info may be in there, if it is I apologize, but what kind of hearters are those and what are their ratings as far as sq/ft.? Thanks, and OSB FTW. Awesome build.
