I have enjoyed watching joshkoltes garage thread.
So I decided to share my own.
This will be a 30' x 40'
This photo shows the 2' stub walls cut into the existing slope of the lot.

With floor poured.

Looks sweet! Gonna store some extra pontoons in there for the winter?

Mafesto · Oct 18, 2015

Hope not!

I was relieved to get the cement done before the temps dropped too much!
Apron is poured (25' x 30'), just haven't taken a picture yet.

Initially, this will be cold storage.
No power, no insulation.
That can come down the road.
Trying to stay under budget!

looks good Have a questions for you though. Obviously we are looking at the garage door side. Why did you stop the concrete stemwall where you did and not turn the corner to frame the garage door opening? This would keep the sill height the same all the way around the base and keep you from ordering longer studs for the garage door side which usually come with a upcharge? Always interested in how construction standards differ depending on where you are located.

Good question, and I considered it, but longer studs will cost less than pouring the 2' wall.
Also, there will be a walk-in door on this end that would have to be formed out or cut out.

Looks good! Its fun building a shop how ya want it, but sucks when playin with a budget!

Ill have to put up a post of my shop remodel thats getting into the third year. (Dang budgets)

I figured that was probably the reason but thought I would ask. I take it that the roof will be trussed Give any thought to adding addition framing to be able to hoist things up or will this be more of a simple storage garage then a workshop? Trusses are great for clear spanning areas but the bottom chords are usually not very strong when hanging things from them. What is the plate height going to end up being 8ft 9ft 10ft

Scissor trusses = more headroom.
And yes, I am going to run 2 I-joists down the center of the trusses to distribute load when using a chain hoist.

10'
The scissor trusses will allow me to use a 10' high door.

Mafesto · Dec 5, 2015

Trusses up today!

bholmlate · Dec 5, 2015

Its starting to take shape now. I sure you will be loving it once it is enclosed and weather tight. Looks a little drafty at the moment

joshkoltes · Dec 5, 2015

wood is good! looks great!

only thing I would have done a little different is maby a 2'or3' decorative stone wall across the front incase you needed to pressure wash the floor

MORSNO · Dec 6, 2015

Nice garage Mafesto! I'd love to build a second garage/shop someday with taller walls and a 12'-14' high door for my truck and camper to fit.

Mafesto · Dec 6, 2015

The guys worked today (Sunday) and got roof & wall sheets on!

Last one is through window of house, hence the obstruction of the screen.

joshkoltes · Dec 7, 2015
