Finally - The Garage Build

[xCCTer]

Updated with new pix. Still waiting to do the floor and lift.

Yeah, I'm still alive. Been a really busy summer.

The garage is underway and hope to have it finished in the next 10 days or so. Picking out flooring and looking at lift options.

Only 22W x 24D with 10' ceiling and storage/pull-down stairs.
It's pretty big by downtown Annapolis standards. If we didn't have a double lot, it wouldn't even be this big.

Can't wait to get the '71 out of storage.
Here's a Photobucket link. More later. -Mark

Looks good.

not how I would have done it :D but looks good just the same :cheers:

[bradc6]

Nice.

[Omega Man]

Nice. I am doing a 13 x 21 addition to my garage this fall. Only 13x13 will be enclosed and the rest of the area will be used as a patio for the pool.

Can't wait for the additional space. :dance:

I am totally shocked that the City of Annapolis allowed you to build ANYTHING in the downtown/city area......

Maryland is picky as hell over a gnat being disturbed....

Who did YOU pay off??? :lol::dance::confused5:

[Mike Mercury]

with 10' ceiling

good call. :thumbs:

For my unattached garage w/carport... I went with 9' ceilings. Allowed me to use an 8' door. Having that extra heigth is a plus.

I originally wanted to go 10'... but the overall size of this structure wasn't big enough; would of looked "too tall" funky.

[OddBall]

:cool1:

[The_Dude]

Looks good! We have a 20x35 garage, but with a 7' ceiling. A lift is completely out of the question. I've been thinking about tearing it down and starting over.

close to nothing in this garage build would be code compliant for new construction in Florida.

I dunno man, he says inner city Annapolis, the state capitol and I think about how anal that joint was years ago, I very surprised he got permits to build a ANT hill...

All I can say is that most of the new construction, like the house today that was built after Y2K was a freeking disASSter, I would not live in it, much less BUY it.....junk....I already had to fix many a disASSter on it, and now looking at the cheeeeeeeeeeeeeep shit they hung for super size sliding doors out to a 6x8 slab....who kidding who....and all the totally UNprotected pines in the yard, they coming down on the house some day, no question...just a matter of when, cause people are stupid....sorry no pix, but you know what I mean....

so there this POS sets, for rent....but that's ok, I only charge 30 bux/trip to show the joint...spend maybe 5 bux in gas....yawn....

It's not my problem said Werner Von Brawn.....:lol::lol:

sounds good.

however, this OP garage build would be no where code compliant in Florida for new construction.

most have zero clue what te new code includes...and fools wonder why it's so expensive to build.

I used to sell homes for 75-90 dollars a sq foot, with a fair profit...now, it costs me 100 a foot to build.

welcome to big government

We call that a tunnel. :leaving:

[The_Dude]

It might be 7 and 1/2 feet.

Permits in Annapolis are numerous. Even had to have the city arborist issue a permit to insure that I wasn't harming the neighbor's 80' Holly trees, not to mention my own trees. The skinny trenches in the pictures are actually "Root Pruning" that added $1k to the project. Wasn't expecting that!

[joecaver]

looking good

[Bucwheat]

Very nice!

[69camfrk]

Looks good!

[xCCTer]

Bump for the updated pix.

[oahuyahoo]

Nice refrigerator, small table and chairs, dart board, poker chips, nice place for the boys to play.:shots:

[sting75ray]

I just got ours up last week and they will be here in the morning to pour the floor in it.

We simply cannot stick wood in the ground in this state. Folks do it and they pay the price. You guys are so lucky.

Can you guys stick wood at all.:lol::lol::rofl::rofl:

[LATB]

Ditto Florida.

The ONLY wood acceptable for ground contact/penetration is the real CCA treated timber. And only available as pilings and rough cut timber for dock or stilt home construction.

Dimensional lumber used to be available in CCA, we can thank the EPA weenies for that demise.

[oahuyahoo]

Lumber is pressure treated from the outside, it penetrates the wood some but does not entirely treat the member thus the problem. I have seen the centers eaten out of wood pilings and heavy timbers.

the good CCA pilings are green all the way through. When we built the beach house...we cut...notched...and drilled the crap out of them...no white wood was found. :cheers:

[C5Nate]

Looking Good! :thumbs:


IMHO, I would rethink the tile and go with 2 part epoxy floor with no chips.

If you actually USE your garage to work on things the race deck is a PITA.

If you just park your already cleaned car on it, it will work out fine.

JMHO, YMMV. :cheers:

[MrPeabody]

Looks good.

not how I would have done it :D but looks good just the same :cheers:

You would have sold by now.:lol:

[oyealiz]

Very cool! Like your car, too. :)

Very nice :hurray:

[Utah997]

Looks good.

But where's the basement? :leaving:

[xCCTer]

How is the portable AC unit working out for you?

It works great considering there is no insulation/drywall yet.

The intake/filter is on the back of the unit where I left about 10" of clearance, and the exhaust you've seen in the pix.

On a 95* afternoon it took about an hour to drop 10 degrees on HIGH.

Still pretty warm up in the storage area though. LOL

[khblair]

i like it. definitely envious :seeya:

[63C2splitter]

Wish it was mine. The garage (detached) at my lake house is a piece of crap......yours would be perfect. I just don't want to spend the money for a new one.
