I started with a dream of 48'x48' metal building with clear span (no columns) and high ceilings. Then the City got involved and now I'm down to 30'x30' and no metal building so I have to build it conventional. Height restrictions, side yard restrictions, blah, blah, blah.
And I live in an agricultural zoned area (horses).

Ah yes, the wheels of government exist to crush our dreams--or at least delay them as much as possible while squeezing out as much cash as they can!

Responsible party for the work once town approval is commissioned.
Chad is a great resource if you are in this area.

Another handy thing to consider is a "trench drain" all the way across the front in front of the doors. Allows you to control where the water goes when you are hosing something off either inside or outside. Just a thought.

I used 3000 PSI concrete with #4 rebar on a 24" grid pattern. It was more than what was required here. Mine is smooth finished but I had to put crack (control) joints in and if I had to do that over again, I would cut the crack joints after rather than trowel them in with a tool. My jack falls in the crack joint and I hate that!

Jeff: Good luck with the garage build. As you are aware, I gutted my attached (28' x 25') garage and rebuilt from the the ground up with the help of my two son-in-laws and son. Outfitted it with Gladiator cabinetry, rolling stock, 8ft work bench, race deck flooring, TV, Phone, heat, LED Lighting, refrigerator and plenty of power. I needed the loft space, so I had to forego a 4-post lift and opted for a Kwick lift which I purchased from Peter Bayer. I even thought about a pit, but local code rejected it. All sheet rock is 5/8" and insulation is R-13. Have fun with the build and your cars as we all go around only one time!
