    Finally got it finished (24x26) and moved the cars in.  I hope they don't fight.  :)

    Here is a few more.  The wife's camera takes good pics.  I like the Daytime T8 fluorescents too.  They are not too harsh when looking at the paint.

     :clapping:  Just in time for the winter.   Your cars must be happy! 

    Got any heat in there?   Did you do anything special to the cement garage floor.....paint, wax, sealer, epoxy?  Just curious, my floor is unsealed cement thats over 30 years old and I hate it.  Winter road salt has pitted the floor over the years and that makes it harder to sweep.  I want a new garage floor for Christmas.

    I installed a Modine Hot Dawg 45,000 btu natural gas heater.  The floor was done with the Rustoleum Epoxyshield 2 part epoxy kit from Home Depot.  I used their decorative flakes as well.  It seems to be pretty tough stuff.

    was yours a kit or?

    Here are some more pics http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=21953
    I contracted someone to do the pad and another company to build the structure.   I bought the trusses myself and did all of the electrical, heating, insulating, dry walling, taping and epoxy coating.  Kits or packages are just a pile of supplies with trusses.  Kits are good if you want the std trusses and aren't picky about the siding and shingles.  I was trying to match the house with both of these so the garage builder let me pick what I wanted.  These guys are good as the garage was built in a couple of days!

    I just retrieved my Challenger last week to park in its new home, and just in the nick of time, 3 days after I brought it home we had our first snowstorm of the season!
    I got 28' wide by 24' deep so it is similiar size to yours.  10' walls with 14' peak at the roof, trussed ceiling and garage door tracks mounted on an angle so I can put a 4 post lift in there some day.
    Unfortunately I ran out of time to finish it this year, got the wall insulation and drywall up and most of the taping done before it got too cold.  I will put in heat some day, after I decide how to insulate the roof.
    I had an electrician who does side work at a decent price put in flourescent lights, a ceiling fan, a dozen outlets both 120 and 220, and rough in for where the heater electrical supply will go.  I just need to finish taping and painting, insulate the roof, put in heat, shelving and cabinets, and do something with the floor and it will be 100% done, hopefully next spring but before next winter at the latest!
    I had a tired 24'x24' that I had torn down to do this.  Now I have a roof that doesn't leak and room for 3 cars!
