I want to thank Alan or moparal to you guys for taking the pixs and posting them for me even though he is not feeling real good. :2thumbs:   :bigsmile:  Just can not wait to get my garage done and get working on my car.  Now I am closer to getting that done.   :bigsmile: :clapping:

I can not believe how good it looks with the driveway!  Another step closer to working on my car!  Just hope it goes fast as I think it can with replacing the panels to get it done.  It will be so fun to build the garage and then work on my car!   :woohoo:   :clapping:   :bigsmile:

Got some of the gravel hauled last week and more coming this week some time.  Might be able to get it Tuesday but might have to be thursday.  Did some landscaping on the driveway and moved some of the shrubs and things around and it looks great.  Will post some more pics after I get all the gravel down.  Hope to build the forms for my slab next weekend also.  Only have to figure out how to get them to the house after I buy them so I will have them here on saterday.   :bigsmile:

I got the qoate for the materials today for the garage.  Just a little over 3600 including tax but not the slab.  Sounds good so for and that includes a tool or two.   :woohoo: :bigsmile:

I did more work to the drive and it looks a lot better.   :bigsmile:

I am going to build it with 10' walls.  If I decide to put in a lift I will build on  a higher wall stall for that either in front or in the back of it.

Because of my town's building and zoning codes, I was limited in height when I built my new garage last year and couldn't have walls tall enough for a lift unless I went with a flat roof.
However, I came up with a plan for a trussed ceiling and garage door tracks mounted on an angle so I should have clearance for a lift even with my 9' walls.
Just an idea that might help you out with your planning.
