Blueprints for new garage

SilverLexus,



Ask and you shall receive! :)



As of today the exterior brick is 95% complete. The 4 and 2 car garages are sheetrocked. The home networking wiring is in place...and yes, the garages are getting internet/TV access!

In the deep end of the 4 car garage, I'll have a workbench area and the 4 post lift:

The rather conventionally sized 2 car garage with washer/dryer and sink connections:

Would you ever consider adopting a college aged student? Jeez, im pretty sure my house could fit inside your garage. Beautifully done though

You need to contact HGTV or at least DIY and get your garage on TV. IT'S GREAT!

Yeah, I wonder if you could get some floor covering company sponsor to do your garage floors for free, then we all could see it on TV. Wouldn't that be the shizz??



BTW, what are you planning on covering the floors with anyway??
 
Thanks again for all the encouragement. The floor is going to have an acid based treatment called "Staincrete." It's supposed to be more durable than epoxy, and costs about $2.50/ sq ft.



Here's a picture that I recently took while on vacation at SeaWord. This appears to be a clear-coated, acid etched concrete:

Hi there.



I have just seen this thread, being a newbie to this site and am amazed at your construction project and the speed in which the house is being built !



The house looks fantastic and being a Building Surveyor over the atlantic in the UK, it's very intersting to see the differences in construction methods between the USA and UK. One thing I have noticed is the differnce in efficiency between the two countries......the same project in the UK would have taken a lot longer to get to your current stage.



Anyway, all the best and I will keep tuned into the future developments and update pictures for the new build.



Regards



Nick M :cool:
 
Nick M,



Thanks for the compliments. I'm surprised how quickly things are going also. My builder seems to have all his suppliers and subcontractors streamlined for efficiency. Hopefully we will be moving into the new house in January.



UPDATE (Nov. 8 '04)



The semi-custom cabinets are being installed into the 2 car garage. Notice the washer and dryer connections. No more washing car towels with the baby clothes!



The cabinets were surprisingly affordable (about $1700 installed) considering how expensive "Gladiator" garage cabinets are. Can you believe that this workbench is $500 ?

Thanks Dean. I always enjoy an update of my favorite super-garage.



My wife and I, sad to say, watched that new cheesy show last night on luxury lifestyles with the ubertan George Hamilton. I think this automotive palace may qualify you for a segment some day. :)
 
I keep thinking I'll throw some pictures of my new garage (to be) up but it pales in comparision to this monster. It's a 3 car set up with a 2 post lift going in the single bay (total of 1400 square feet). Somehow it just doesn't seem worthy of this thread. Concrete's in (it was cut yesterday) and framing starts monday.
 
GearHead_1,



Please do post a thread on your construction. 1400 sq feet of garage space is nothing to sneeze at! Mine's not going to be that much bigger (1900 sq ft).



UPDATE:



The concrete subcontractor just finished the stamped concrete rear patio and front entrance. He's an "Increte" dealer. I'm so pleased with the look I think I'll have parts of the driveway "accented" with it.
