My new garage build

I was hoping to store 3 in there full time plus have a spot open to use the lift. I'm sure I will fill it up with too much shit and the vehicles will be forced back outside at some point though

 

Work done for the day. Tomorrow the roof trusses and siding should be done

Picked up the rest of the 1" CTS pipe and electrical wire from a local supply store by me today

 

Taking shape. Looks great!

 

Great job

 

BTW; Ant, are you going to make it out to Takeover at Rausch this year?

 

Thanks fellas, sure hope all this work pays off in the long run

Hey Rob, unfortunately I'm stuck working that weekend so I won't be there

Made alot of progress today.

Roof trusses all set




Metal installed on the roof


My dad came by in the afternoon to help me run all the lines, we kicked some ass today

Boring the holes in the concrete blocks in the basement




The start of the ditch, 42" deep per code for the water line




Electric, water, gas, and a spare chase ran


Backfilling the ditch


Finishing up the siding


More backfilling




Front siding and trim all finished


Electrical ran into the basement, gas line still needs to be tied into the house, made the change from poly to black iron pipe


All filled in and smooth again, now for the weeds to start growing again


Side


View from the back


Water, gas, and electric ran under the structure and into the garage, the gas line will be ran in from the outside per code


Tomorrow we should be finished with the lean to and the rest of the siding and trim work, then it's time to spread the stone to prep for pouring the cement pad

 

Looking great!

 

How deep is your water line? From the pics it doesn't look to be below the frost line...at least in my area.

Dam this is sweet!

 

no go to Montana

 

Sub'd! Looking great Ant! You'll wish it was bigger the minute you pull the Taco into it! haha

 

Thanks!

code is 42", the trench we dug was right around 50" so it should be plenty.

Thanks man, I'm happy with how it's coming along so far

Thank you, lots of OT money spent to get this far haha

Truth, a garage can never be big enough but this should hold me over for a little while

The lean to, windows, and and doors are all installed











Next up will be to spread some stone and get the slab poured and work on getting the sub panel and other utilities fully connected into the garage.

 

Ceeeemmmennnt it! Doooooeeeeettttttt dooooooeeeeeettttt nnnnooooowwwww

Any chance you are going to go radiant heat in the floor?

Weather you do or not, put down the 2" foam boards before the pour.

I have radiant in my shop floor. How do I say this without sounding like I'm bragging? Ok, I can't. It fucking awesome!

 

Why no footings?

 

I thought about it, not sure I feel like shelling out the cost. While the idea sounds nice, I don't think I'd be hanging out in there to justify leaving it running all winter and racking up the gas bill.

It's a pole building, no footers required

 

You need... Floor warmers... Tvs that come out of the roof... Surround sound... A fireplace... Large bear rug... A full walk in armory... 2 story floor Jack... And room service!

 

Don't tempt me
