Out with the old...In with the new... ( My new Garage thread )

[Daytona R/T SE]

As some of you may know, the Daytona project has been put on hold for the last few months, while I empty out my old junky tin storage shed, haul a bunch of stuff to a rented storage unit, give away a bunch of crap, throw even more stuff away, and generally prepare for the new garage that is going up in it's place.

Here's a few pictures of the old storage shed, and it's associated junk pile...and as it meets it's demise:

That tin shack is just begging for a tornado to take it away.

That tin shack is just begging for a tornado to take it away.    

It's already gone.  

It's being rebuilt at my friend's farm where it will continue to house junk for many years to come.

[Daytona R/T SE]

The concrete was poured two weeks ago.

This past Saturday, I raked the gravel into place for a temporary approach ramp to the overhead doors, and generally cleaned things up.

That last pic is nice. You have great looking trees. Great spot for that garage too. Can't wait to see it complete. I'm glad I had one built, it helps a lot. What's the size? 30x40

do they do it "barn raising" style? Do they knock it out in a day?

[bill440rt]

My shed was built by the Amish. Thing is constructed like a house. Solid.

I've been told it will be done late Friday afternoon.

Stay tuned...

[Indygenerallee]

Yep the Amish work very fast my 40x64 pole barn was finished in 5 days that was from the concrete to the wiring, they do very good work and don't slack they were there at 8 a.m. took a half hour lunch at noon and left right at 3 p.m. each afternoon

I'll be there Saturday.

I'll be sure to have some pictures on my phone with me.

"Built by the Polish" ?

Yep, no slackers in this bunch.

Should be cool to watch. 

I took the day off work to watch.

Apparently, the way this works is this:

There are one or two "English" guys on the crew.

They have the cell phones, drive the trucks and communicate with the owner.

The Amish do all the other stuff, and won't be standing around chatting me up.

That's them !

[Daytona R/T SE]

At 3:43 today.   

[Indygenerallee]

  Looks super nice!

[Daytona R/T SE]

Looks super nice!

Thanks !

But...

Unfortunately,

It's not done yet.

They have to come back next week to put the overhead doors up.

They were put behind schedule by two hours this morning...

There was an incident. 

When they were making their turn to come into my subdivision, some chick in a little silver thing decided that would be a good time to try to PASS them.

The Dodge 5500 truck they were driving received a few scuff marks to the front bumper.

The little silver Hyadundiasaki or whatever it was she was driving had the entire passenger side peeled wide open like a sardine can.

Two hours later the cops were through with them and work started.

What an idiot, people are so impatient, look where it got her.

Your new garage looks great!  Now you have some prime real estate to work with!  I know you are ecstatic.

[Stevearino]

That's some quick work and it looks tight.

[moparstuart]

Awesome

[TUFCAT]

Gorgeous garage!!  I love it 

[RallyeMike]

Very nice. Now to find something to put in there..... 

[Daytona R/T SE]

Now to find something to put in there.....  

That will NOT be a problem...

[Homerr]

I was expecting pics of guys in suspenders and neckbeards.

Garage looks great so far.

Thanks,

I really didn't want to post pictures of the people,

I thought that would be kind of weird.

Out of the five guys that were here, all but two had hats, three had beards,

and only one had suspenders.

I guess I got the "New Wave" Amish ?  

[Dino]

Very nice!  Pics to follow with the horses in the barn?   

[Daytona R/T SE]

Done.  

[JB400]

If you haven't put your stuff in it yet, then you're not "done".  You've just started.

Building looks nice though

I really hate to trash it up with all the junk I'm going to stuff in there.

But, that won't be until the weekend, so it can look good for a few more days...

[8WHEELER]

   congrats, I remember the first time I pulled a car into my new garage, it was great, keep room to work on stuff

[polywideblock]

looks great   now would be the time to paint/ epoxy surface the floor 

[Daytona R/T SE]

Nope.

This is just going to be storage for my other project cars, parts and all the excess  crap that I trip over

Every time I try to work on the Daytona.

It's gonna get ugly in there.

Very nice garage you built there !!!! Congrats !!!

[UFO]

Very nice
I gotta ask, why so many overhead doors?

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Wow that looks great!  Super jealous as well! 

[Daytona R/T SE]

I gotta ask, why so many overhead doors?

Access.

I hate having to move a car to get the lawn mower out, or to get something off the shelves at the back of the garage, or to get my Harley out...etc.

So, now...I can just open one of the smaller overhead doors and grab what I want without moving any of my cars.

[Daytona R/T SE]

Wow that looks great!  Super jealous as well! 

[Charger4404spd]

Looks great. I like how you put the drive thru doors on each side, great idea.

[bakerhillpins]

 

Can't wait to get one of them myself someday. 

[RIDELIKEHELL]

Beauty! I'd show you my Garage but someone deleted the topic last year 

[green69rt]

Now is the perfect time to paint that floor, easy cleanup, and if you don't use the chips then it makes it really easy to find all those dropped screws and things.   I wish I had done mine sooner.

[Stevearino]

Now is the perfect time to paint that floor, easy cleanup, and if you don't use the chips then it makes it really easy to find all those dropped screws and things.   I wish I had done mine sooner.

I was always under the impression that the concrete had to cure a while before you sealed it. Could be wrong.

[RallyeMike]

Seal it for sure. It makes clean up easier. Definitely don't paint it if you plan on doing much cutting, welding, or heavy work.

[ws23rt]

Now is the perfect time to paint that floor, easy cleanup, and if you don't use the chips then it makes it really easy to find all those dropped screws and things.   I wish I had done mine sooner.

What a great piece of advice. Especially nixing the chips.  I have spent way too many hours looking for that small part that seems to disappear when it hits the floor.
I have done my share of working under a car on grass or gravel and that stuff will suck up rather large items. I think they go where socks from the wash go.

Along this line if you have something with a large base or is hard to move than seal around the bottom so when looking for something dropped you know it's not under that big thing.

[green69rt]

Really, you need to follow the advice of the various companies that paint floors.   Some will say to wait 30 days, some a year.  Just think about it. ok???  not a big deal but if you want to do it a new floor is the best time but not a killer if you do it later...

[Daytona R/T SE]

I won't be doing any floor painting, or sealing.

For now,

This thing is getting a couple of lights and a bunch of shelves.



I've already got my work shop in my other garage...

This new one is just for storage.

[polywideblock]

at least I'm not the only one

Maybe you'll wake up tomorrow morning, and it'll be all done.

[JB400]
