Thanks guys...
I've been trying for months to find a nearby storage building or a lot to build one on, and finally decided to 'waste some $$' and build another garage behind my house (usually a bad idea re investment, but very convenient!)..
Nope, no more toys (I hope).. and you guys are probably correct in that a garage is never big enough (I should know!)..
I built a 32x44 30 yrs ago behind my home (where my daughter lives now). I still have use of that space, but it's jampacked; I even have two cars stored at my other daughters, and my basement garage is full also.
I'm just trying to get some 'workspace' where I can actually open the doors on a car to work on it!
I've got a lot of space and people don't believe why I need more, but I've got *too many* cars and not enough space to actually work on one the way I want. My goal is to use my other spaces for storage and actually do work in this one (perhaps on a couple of cars simultaneously).
It's a 28x42 with 10.5' ceiling and a 'resting porch' on the side of it (shaded of course)..
I'm planning on fully insulating, and hopefully with a heat pump so I can work in it regardless of temp outside. It's only about 40' from my back door so I am attempting to eliminate any excuses not to work..
Barry, you are probably correct re the saw joints. I minimized the joints over what the concrete crew and my builder (my son in law) suggested. I do plan to clean, etch, and epoxy the floor (if I can wait 30 days or so before beginning to use it!)..
Bentley! Come on down; bring (one of) your Camaros and we'll work on it for a couple of weeks!
