crib for my bimmers

Started ground breaking on my two car garage. 20' x 24'. Its a little larger than my current garage but its all mine and it will be insulated. Here in Ohio it stays cold about 6 months out of the year. It will be nice to work on what ever I want even when the snow is blowing.

Here are the first pics

sweet ...a garage is always a nice thing to have...

Will you be putting any insulation under the concrete floor?

[bubba966]

Better yet, doing a heated floor?

[Kibokojoe]

Nope nothing that fancy. But the building will be insulated including the doors

at least think about dumping a couple inches of perlite under the (floor) concrete. You can get huge bags on 'tha bay' for cheap and the difference will be amazing. love them ratwalls man, just like a garage I built years ago, so thick the floor will never move or crack. If you do the perlite thing make sure to run a sprinkler over it for 24 hours, running a sprinkler on the freshly hardened concrete for 2 weeks will help it dry even harder.... learned this stuff from an old Italian mason, RIP.

Come clean. Thats not footings for a garage, its for a house Er...isnt it?

[Kibokojoe]

Shouldn't the garage be bigger than the house?

Have the same problem, too many days on weekends raining and cannot work on the cars, or too hot now in summer. Just need something which protects from weather.
Got one from COSTCO for about $500, 6 x 4 meters, with plastic window, a front 'door', some air circulation openings, rigid steel frame. Something similar to what COSTCO USA is selling here, but probably a bit smaller and the cover material is less thick

My buddy has a nice big garage with a pit, airtools, aircondition,wheel balancing machine, tire changer and and all the other goodies we are dreaming of. But I do not want to bother him too much, so that is the cheapest solution to survive bad weather. Maybe in winter I install a small portable gas stove.
