Well I have the block work finished now. Maybe I can get the floor done in the next week or so before it get any colder.

The garage is coming along good. What size is that?

70c10 · 11-15-2003, 01:49 PM

Man that's looking good. Won't have to worry about that burning down either.

Truck Hippy · 11-15-2003, 02:00 PM

Denny, Its 20x22. I wanted to go alittle bigger but it will have to do. Wes.

Nice progress, are you putting a grease pit in? I was thinking of putting in a pit when I build.

Truck Hippy · 11-15-2003, 04:20 PM

Casey, No grease pit but they are nice to have.

**JIMs70GMC** · 11-16-2003, 12:06 AM

Did you have to fill the blocks in solid?

jugernot · 11-16-2003, 12:56 AM

Nice solid garage, where the lift go.

Truck Hippy · 11-16-2003, 08:39 AM

Yea, I wish I had room and $$ for a lift. JIMs70GMC, Finished the blocks on Friday and The blocks were filled solid only up to floor level. I wanted to raise the floor to keep water out. Its hard to tell in the picture but my yard sloaps toward the garage alittle. I tied in re-bar into the footing up 36" into the wall to keep it from ever pushing out from back filling and the weight of the floor. Wes.
