Well after spending my whole adult life moving toward this goal, (I'm 37) it's finally happening! I'm getting a garage! 30x30 with 14 ft. sidewalls, will be complete with 2 post lift, tire machine and balancer, hopefully a brake lathe if I can swing it. 2 bays, one remaining flat to do bodywork and paint. They are pouring concrete this morning! Picture time!
First I had 2 large Maple trees to get outta my way, 38 inch and 34 inch bases respectively.
Then I used a hydro hammer to bust up the driveway because I wanted to save $ and keep the concrete to build a crawler course. (More on that later)
Cleared out some of my woods to have room to build it. I will be redoing my shooting range this year too (seen in background) as it has some age on it.
Concrete for building was poured first, 4 inches of gravel base, 6 inches of 4,000 psi with fibermesh in the mix. 12x12 footers with rebar. Ground for the electrical is tied directly to the rebar, making the entire footer the ground.
They formed it yesterday and today is the day! (please ignore all the mess, there is so much outta place right now and I haven't mowed in a week). I'M SO EXCITED!
