Oldguy48 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Posted January 13, 2013 Drove my P15 into it's new garage today! Lots more electrical work to do, but we can start moving the tools & other stuff from the storage unit where it's been for the last 1 1/2 yrs. to the garage & workshop. 4 car garage upstairs, a garage area for the daughter & son-in-law's motor home & a workshop downstairs. A true "Man cave" of a lifetime. There are a couple of projects just waiting for us as soon as we get organized (which may take a while). Quote

MacTexas Posted January 14, 2013 Report Posted January 14, 2013 You should post it over on Garage Journal. Quote
Young Ed Posted January 14, 2013 Report Posted January 14, 2013 So whats behind the wall in the upper portion? Storage with a sloped roof? Where does the lawn mower go Planning a lift in the work area? Is there a guest bedroom? More pics if you have them. Quote
Oldguy48 Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) Ed, You are correct...behind the wall is a usable storage area about 6 feet wide, that runs the length of the garage (60 feet). Our plan is to build a bunch of shelves in the storage area. It does have a sloped roof, but it's still high enough to stand up in. The rest is roof trusses. I'll post a few more pics soon. And no...it does not have a guest bedroom. We've discussed a lift, but not sure about that yet. And we'll find a spot under the deck for the mower. Wayne Edited January 14, 2013 by Oldguy48 Quote
Greenbomb Posted January 15, 2013 Report Posted January 15, 2013 Wow! A two story garage!!! What's the construction of the upstairs floor/downstairs ceiling? Any pictures of that? A very nice setup!!! Quote
Oldguy48 Posted January 15, 2013 Author Report Posted January 15, 2013 Wow! A two story garage!!! What's the construction of the upstairs floor/downstairs ceiling? Any pictures of that? A very nice setup!!! The floor upstairs in 4" wire reinforced concrete, poured over 1/2" plywood, with a layer of plastic sheeting between. It's supported by 2" x 12" wooden joists on 12" centers. The joists are supported with 2 "Glu-Lam" beams that are about 16" high and 4" thick, and 4" diameter steel support posts. The interior wall downstairs is 2" x 6" wooden studs, also on 12" centers. The outer walls supporting the floor are poured reinforced concrete. I think the workshop could serve as a bomb shelter if we needed it. I need to take a few more pics to post. Wayne Quote
pflaming Posted January 15, 2013 Report Posted January 15, 2013 WHAT? NO BAR? You probably forgot to build a cage for the ground hog also. It's beyond jealous. Nice, nice. Quote

Oldguy48 Posted January 15, 2013 Author Report Posted January 15, 2013 Here are a few more pics. First two are of the workshop, third one is a place to park the motorhome. And the trampoline in the background is for the grandkids...not me. Wayne Quote
Don Coatney Posted January 15, 2013 Report Posted January 15, 2013 How tall is the motorhome ceiling? Quote
Oldguy48 Posted January 15, 2013 Author Report Posted January 15, 2013 How tall is the motorhome ceiling? About 15' Wayne Quote
Don Coatney Posted January 15, 2013 Report Posted January 15, 2013 About 15'Wayne Plenty of room for a lift. Quote
Mark Haymond Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 You must install a fireman's pole right away. For escaping from the upper levels, of course. Quote
Oldguy48 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Posted January 16, 2013 Hmmm...maybe that trampoline would work for that. Wayne Quote
