I'd love to have 40x64 with a 14' ceiling. I'm doing good to get the 28x44 with 12' ceilings that I'm building. See my birdnest thread.

I love new garages....


Are those blocks on the floor holding up the angle bracing to the walls glued down or nailed down?

They are screwed down and the holes will be filled with epoxy after they are removed.

I would love to have water plumbed to my shop even without a throne. Just curious, do you have plans to get water to your new digs?

No water, just don't like washing old cars anyway. Ive got the shop if I want to wash an everyday vehicle. I just decided it wasn't worth the expense,,in my particular situation.
