Re: Building a garage - any suggestions?
I was going to go with the post coming out for hay but am going with a barn light up there. I plan to put in an engine puller at the back of the far right side. The ceiling is 9 feet high to give me the room.

Re: Building a garage - any suggestions?
The finished height inside came out to be 13' 6".
If you have not bought your door openers yet look at the sidewinder by Liftmaster, gives you a bit clear space above the doors

No, he is mad because he just figured out that you have something in your back yard that is fun, all he has is something that needs watered and is work. Any current inside photos?
