Thought shop talk would be a great place for the build of the Shop......
New England style post and beam My lovely wife and mother in-law bought a Cobra shaped weathervane. More on that when it arrives. |

If this thread is a bore, tell me.
It's exciting for me, thought it may be of interest to others. Not bragging, just a share for like minded friends As with the cars it's s process. This is my first run at something like this |

Finally poured
Now taking shape and coming into scale. Felt tiny at first. Now it's sizing up well. |

I like this thread. I am just finishing up building a new shed for my cobra. If I can figure out how to post photos I will put one up.
|
I am just happy to see that you added a third stall for my Cobra:)
|
Looks awesome! I did the same thing but spent my evenings and weekends doing it. It took me a couple years doing it myself. Still don't have enough room though!

I am sooo jealous, what a beautiful garage, Best of Luck with the build !!!!
|
Thanks guys, phew Larry. Can't imagine building this nights.
That is awesome. RB by all means add the pics. Kevin, we have a spot for you. |
Lucky you, my property is only zoned for 2 bays, i even tried to buy the water company land behing my house so i could add more bays. A 3 bay garage is what i always wanted. I guess a 4 post bendpak is in my future. Make sure you really think out the interior and make it a badass mancave as well as a mechanics dream, GL and keep the pics coming.

A few mistakes I made with my shop -
1. Standard size garage doors. Taller is better. 2. 10 or 12 foot ceilings. 3. No outside pad. Rolling the lift out to service Tractors, Trucks and Trailers. 4. Heat built into the slab. They all add to the cost but are well worth it. Good luck Jeff Tim |

Only a true car guy could get as excited about his shop as he is about his cars :p I watch threads like this and it makes me want to go out and totally empty my garage out and re-organize it so everything looks all nice and neat. Of course, then I walk out there and take a look around, and realize that it ain't happenin... Keep the pics coming :cool: |
Boring? Not to me!! Love watching stuff like this and great sheds coming together. Maybe an illusion in the pics, but looks like you will have a lot of back filling to do up against those foundation stem walls and inside to bring everything up to grade level. Also, are you going to waterproof the outside of the stem walls? Just a thought to keep moisture from getting in under the slab...;)

Regarding garage doors, if you can swing it consider coiling roll up doors vs conventional sectional doors that interfere with ceiling height when open. Tall ceilings are a good thing. Also, you can't put too much extra electrical conduit under the slab and stub it up at the walls. You never know when you might want to change something up. The same may go for compressed air piping. Pretty handy to have it where you need it.;):cool::cool: |
All great ideas guys.
I thought about floor heat but we don't use floor heat in the three season as it is weekend only in winter. Going to ponder that one for garage. Plenty of power, will have underground feed, no wires upper canopy. Also has its own 200A power service from pole, code here. Larry you and I have the same house plans. |
Shops and garages
my shop (50' x 50') has a 10' 4" ceiling. I had to install a shorter (9') two post lift.
I would suggest a 12' ceiling as a minimum. I have 9' x 7' roll up doors. Three of them. I suggest 10' x 8' or 9'. A real car guy need a 100' x 400' shop to play in:LOL: Dwight |
When I visited the Kirkham shop a few years ago, Mr Kirkham (Sr) gave us a tour on a Sunday. Then he showed me his personal shed across from the shop facility. As I recall, he told me that 60'x120' was just perfect! And that is what he has. Wish I lived in farm land!!;):cool:
