Re: Building a garage - any suggestions?
I built a 24x34 shop a couple do years ago. Lots of good suggestions here. One thing I did was build a "stem wall" off the concrete floor footing area. It is 12 inches tall and the base plates are on that. It raises the height of the overall structure and privdes the ability to wash the place out without getting the wood or drywall wet. Also, I built the garage space as 24x24 with a 10x24 office in the back....great space with tv and couch....(total exterior walls 24x34 as mentioned).

Re: Building a garage - any suggestions?
I have a 40x60 shop, with a 20x40 carport for the MH. I like the size of the shop it keeps me from draging lots of projects home, one section for the shop is 20x40 with 14 foot ceiling and a hoist, the other side is 40x40 with 10 foot ceilings. I have a 3 bay garage on the house which keeps the daily drivers and mowers out of the shop. Works for me.

Re: Building a garage - any suggestions?
I have a single 16 foot X 7 foot door going on the front with a 36" entry on front as well. The sides are only 5.5 ft off the property line each side. I plan to leave 8 feet behind the garage to add a Compressor out house. All structures have to be 3 ft from property lines.

Re: Building a garage - any suggestions?
Lots of good ideas and advice here. I built a 36'x48' pole this last Fall. I can't wait to get power and complete the inside this Spring. I planned for and am definitley installing a lift and will have plenty of lighting as well as 115v and 220v outlets for all the tools. I'm already thinking it's too small!

Re: Building a garage - any suggestions?
wow you seem to be pretty close to the neighbours homes , if this was the netherlands they prolly wouldnt give planningpermission due to loss of sunlight to the neighboring homes destroying their view and stuff like that

Re: Building a garage - any suggestions?
Looks like a LOT of dirt work to me,
is that something you will do, or someone else do the AB work?
