Finally breaking ground!

[T2R9]

After a year of trying to get estimates on a new garage I finally found a good contractor. He is good so I had to be patient but the time has come!

Its 28 x 40 with full storage trusses up to the last bay witch will have scissor trusses to accommodate a lift. They will put the shell up and I will be finishing the rest. Should start framing next week.

Im happy for you since my garage is a car port.

Congrats!

Nice fence too btw....

My current 20 x 24 garage is occupied by my Power Wagon and everything else is sitting outside.

Very nice I would love to have that much room someday,but for now I am racked and stacked.

Looking good so far. Their never big enough and I put the roof on the first 24x24 in the wrong direction. Leaving no room for expansion.
We always need an expansion plan.

My brother and I wanted to build a garage. Currently , we work outside on a grass and dirt yard.
Anyway, we get this white dude with a clipboard (Tim Wilson joke) to come out. 21x28 garage, 4" concrete. No electrical, or plumbing. He quoted $32k. Maybe that's a fair price. But, we can't pay that.

Good to see that your Mopars will have a nice place.

That is a steep price for that size. My cost is $40k and that's with vinyl siding.

There are lots of differences in vinyl siding cost and quality.
Would much rather go metal myself. Far less combustible. But this year may not be the year for it prices are up again.

Nice, but you'll be wishing you made it 40 X 60 a year from now.

I have room to expand it another 100' wide if I need to.

My main reason for using vinyl is to match my house.

Full footer it looks like? I know going from a pole barn slab type garage to the one I have now with a footer really seamed to help with floor temps and moisture. Nice size, congrats. Check into Worth lifts, bought one primarily because they're American made and am very happy with mine, very beefy with big mounting pads.

Nice

It nice to not have square footage restrictions.

Got some framing done. Trusses should be delivered early this week.

Nice job there so far. I have finally got my new driveway in progress this week. Hopefully no more mud by the end of the month.

 

[T2R9]

Thanks! Rain has been killing us this week but it looks to be dry the next couple weeks. Poor cars are sitting across the yard saying let me it!

 

[Richard Cranium]

Hopefully no more mud by the end of the month.

Eating better will usually solve that.

Trusses were delivered Wednesday and we got them ready and built the gable ends. Crane is coming tomorrow so we will have a roof soon!
