When it's finished, can I bring my "stuff" over ......?

Nice job.

Yeah. . . But you'll hafta give me Jazzabelle.

 

[Ripinator]

Or the Fonz. I always thought if I ever built a garage I'd do the exact same thing and rent it to pay for it for a while then to use as a man cave or whatever later. Have you considered putting a dumwaiter (big one) in it or roughing it in for later when you want to store parts after you kick out the Fonz?

Haven't thought of the dumbwaiter idea. Still trying to figure out where we will put the stairs. . .

That garage just put you on a lot of people's You Suck list.
Wow!!

But do I suck "with respect?"

 

[Ripinator]

Awesome, I'm jealous....

Why did you use plywood vs. OSB?

My son and his carpenter buddies felt the plywood would make for a better-quality job.

I would prefer plywood too esp if the garage walls are unfinished. Did you calculate $ differential vs OSB?

Just curious

OSB sucks for longevity. It is terrible building material! Plywood is the way to go, no doubt. Cutting a few dollars here is the difference in 20 - 30 years in terms of that garage (or any building!) staying up and healthy.

Absolutely amazing.

Well. . . I knew it was a bit more expensive, but the guys specify the materials and do the work; I just write the checks and do the schlepping. . .

That's about all I could do too. Wish I had the space for a garage like that or any kind of garage other than the dinky modern one I have

Great looking place Rip!

 

[tallhair]

found the garage thread . Thought I remembered something about it.

Man that is such a cool garage

anyone with a garage bigger than their house is a sure sign of a car addict

The garage dwellers will be comfortable and happy. Nice work.

And worthy of a place on the "you suck" list...

I know this is hard to believe, but the Garage Mahal isn't finished yet. Still needs the siding applied, the electrical finished up and a stairway constructed to the second floor. Things go slower on a shoestring. . .
