Bad Azz!! I love me some huge garage / shop action.

How does it tie into the existing garage or layout of the house. I'm a little confused by the photos.

the third car garage goes all the way through the house and has a door on both ends, thats the rear of the house

Sweet

AH!! Now I can see it.

So you can either drive around the side of the house to the shop or technically drive through the current garage to it?

That'll be awesome. Boat in the back yard tucked away nice and close. Easy access. Awesome. Reminds me of all the Havasu houses with more garage space than house space! LOVE IT!

Awesome ! I`m in Nazinois on 3 acres and these ****tards wont let me build anything like that . I can`t even make my shed bigger.
hate this state

Im in the county but still limited on how much sq. I can build, Im on 1.2 acres and it figured out to be 1198 sq ft so I built 1200...........24 x 50 with 14 ft walls, a 4 post lift and a future Class A motor coach is the reason for the 14 ft walls,

Ken, I’ll see about swinging over this weekend and help you drink a few beers in it. Gotta make sure you break this shop in correctly. Plus I need to check on your Camaro... sweet ride for sure.:evilb:

Sounds good, new boxes being delivered Saturday

Looks good. Looking for a retirement home myself and the shop is the most important part--don't plan on spending all that much time in the house.

nice project! keep posting progress!

Jealous. But looks awesome

That’s awesome keep posting pics.

Sweet digs!!!

Sweet boxes.

A new Menards opened close to me so I have been working with them on the project, I designed the trusses on a in house program they have on line to have an open room concept in the attic area for storage

lol.. thats messed up..

Looks like an awesome design! Exactly what I've been looking at doing.

Speedy, If you don't mind, send me some info about the contractor you're using. I'm in KC and have been looking around at options for Gun sized storage at my house.. Most contractors I've spoken to aren't interested in "small" garage projects or want to charge 100k+ for the structure...

Thanks!

Brandon

Very nice project. Please keep the pics coming.

You suck! :lolhit:

Congrats looking good!

A friend of mine's dad wanted a much larger garage on his property in our town. He had a 1 car garage, probably built in the 50's. He drew up plans for a 6 car garage with a loft - twice the size of the small house that they lived in. City said NO WAY. So he went back home and thought about it a bit. Went back to the city and asked 'can I just add on to my existing garage?' City said 'sure'. He asked 'any restrictions to adding on?' City said 'no'.

He has one original corner post from that old single car garage - that is now a 6 car with a loft. LOL

Same with CA. Cant build a shelf in a closet without a permit and enviromental study. And a new property tax appraisal

Congrats on the nice shop! As a carpenter I am always curious why other build walls and sheet them after they are up? I have always sheeted them laying down.

I also live in Illinois, but unincorporated unlike Dan. I’m on .45 acres and allowed 1800 sq ft of total garage space. I plan to build a 1300 sq ft shop this summer.

five of us walked up all the walls including the 50's with no wall jacks or reach lifts, you cant do that if its sided.

Tank, that middle on is the floorplan for our LOTO build.

You guys building in LOTO??? Bad azz!!!

From a guy that sells Snap-On tools... Congratulations on that 84inch Epiq, hutch & 2 side lockers... midnight blue is one of my favorite colors
That's a awesome set up!!!

Ya man, delivered yesterday by my MATCO guy :eek: long story he's my brother in-law, a little dusty but they are sweet........there's a Camaro behind it..........lol

Looks really awesome. Curious as to plans and cost. I’ve been wanting to do something similar for awhile now just not sure how to execute it.

Nice mancave. Top knotch. ⚓

I didn't have plans drawn up it was in my head, I'm out in the county so no inspections will be done, Id budget 30-40k depending on labor & material costs in your area.....I hired all my subs so I'm the GC, it would pass any inspection I used all 2x6 wall and truss framing with a 7/12 pitch

Ken....U truly are the jack of all trades....And master of them all!

I guess some of my father rubbed off on me, he was a fabrication engineer and could make or build anything he set his mind to.

Whats with the expansion joints on the plywood roof?
