You should love that garage, it’s beautiful

I used a couple dial back timing lights years ago. Both were junk. Very inaccuate. I presume they are better now, but still prefer the more simple lights.

I used spray-in cellulose. Locally, folks seem to think it’s great. Seems fine, but don’t have anything to compare it to. Like mentioned earlier, I focused on the doors and windows.

FWIW. Here in western PA, no hurricanes, no tropical storms, no tornadoes, no earthquakes, just snow load. All of the items you described are required. I wasn’t sure if the diagonals were just needed for the construction phase, and not needed once it was sheathed and shingled. Asked my...

The commercial suppliers/manufacturers have really good programs available on-line. You will have to dig around to find them, and spend a little time using them. I'm really glad I did. I wanted even 150 foot-candle lighting at 4 ft off the floor everywhere. I ended up with more fixtures...

Is the 16’ limitation to the roof peak? I suggest you get some graph paper and start making to-scale drawings to get a feel for what you have to work with. Not only the floor plan but sections in each direction. Door size and spacing is important too. Also remember that the building size is...

Nice Mike. I have a row of windows in my 10 x 10 doors too. If I were to do it again, and if I had more privacy, I'd consider all glass doors.

My garage is similar in size to your plan, with 4 - 10' x 10' doors. Consider using 32" (vs 48") between the 10 x 10 doors. The 12'-8" between door centerlines will still give a bunch of room between cars, but will give you an additional 4' along one of the 40' walls for stuff (work benches...

Nice looking house and garage.

I'm finishing up my garage. Its wired for 2 - 50 amp EV chargers.

Place look great!

I think I remember that Andy F. said he uses wax. Maybe check with him. Also sounds like not all sealers are created equal. Who woulda thought it would be this complicated. Do the sealers darken the concrete?

Did you do the application? Ordered direct from ArmorPoxy?

There it is. Thanks

Wow. Thanks everyone. All of the pictures look great! I suck at selecting colors. I'll have to ask if there is anything they can do to reduce the slip risk. Someone mentioned silica - has anyone done this? I think with precautions, stepping through the man door can be managed. But darting...

I'm thinking about having my garage floor coated. Looking at the Epoxy/Polyaspartic combo with 1/8" flake. How do you like it? Any first hand experience/feed back/suggestions would be appreciated. Pictures would be great too. Thanks

You know, at 6000 sqft, you probably need lighted exit signs. Not sure I could find my way out of a 6000 sqft building otherwise.

Ugh.. I'm afraid you're right. I started my garage here in western PA earlier this year.. I don't recall the exact cost, but a few hundred dollars and had evrything I needed permit wise in a couple weeks. The local inspector drops in from time to time but my general contractor has a pretty...

What did you do for your floor? Looks nice. Burned-in or ground and polished

I went 3x4 too, and 6” gutters. Solved my problem.
