Looking really good. Are you still going to have access to the smaller garage in the back ?

by JGL Thu Jun 23, 2016 4:45 am

Nice I guess you have been working hard.

by Brads70 Thu Jun 23, 2016 5:17 am

Looks great, I'm envious!

by JGL Thu Jun 23, 2016 6:15 am

Too bad we never see any pics of you working Phil, we really don't have any proof of you working. LOL...

Garage is looking good Phil, bet you can't wait to fill it.
They do allow garage pads to be pored on grade here and we have nasty cold winters with warm spells and refreezing but they don't seem to move around to much. If the garage is over 24 X 24 then it must use footing below grade of 1 meter.

Yes, no problem. That's "miss garage"

Next job, concrete floor.

looks awesome lots of garage envy here!

This is a different way of building, around here it is footings first, floor second and then they build the walls on the flat and level floor. Anyway, I bet today was a wet day or did you get lucky and dry?

by philcollins Wed Jun 29, 2016 4:43 pm

Today was dry. Just start raining.

My concrete contractor want to pour the floor after the building is built. He say it's more trouble for him but it seems it does a better job as the concrete doesn't dry as quickly so it's doesn't crack.

Makes sense.

by **smoken340** Thu Jun 30, 2016 6:00 am

1st Heated floors, then cabinets and work bench, then hooks and whatever your heart desires...in whichever order you wish. Oh don't forget to save room for the beer frig!

by **smoken340** Tue Aug 30, 2016 12:23 pm

Heated floors is probably one of the best things your going to do.
Oh, if you follow JGs, advice, then there won' t be any room left for your cars. lol

Dan you forgot one thing, it's ''cars''

by JGL Tue Aug 30, 2016 1:52 pm

With our Canadian climate it's either heated floors or no heat at all. Part time heat does more harm than good.

by Ragtacker Tue Aug 30, 2016 5:38 pm

Best I could do is paving over the road base so I don`t have to roll around on gravel anymore.

by JGL Tue Aug 30, 2016 6:44 pm

Still having computer issues and I'm not able to do much on this tablet. My wife wants to have our old computer fixed, because she isn't sure what is on it that she wants to keep. Me, I say toss it and start from scratch.
