Default Delayed progress turning around

Just wanting to share. Some may remember and most won't. But I had to delay progress due to lack of space. The wife would not go along with me putting her car out of the garage during the winter so I could remove the body from the frame (imagine that, what was I thinking). Anyways she agreed to support me and agreed to building another garage to support my hobby (what a great unselfish person she is) so I thought I would share some progress picture. I hope to have it completed by the end of June to mid July (probably August). I have installed radiant floor heating and will install a couple of panel radiators, I will also be installing a mini-split heat pump system (more for the cooling). 200 amp service. I wish I could have gone a bit larger but I decide to except what I got and not push it. If you couldn't tell I live in the North East and have a lot of cold weather, I also make my living in the heating and cooling industry.

This is as far I have have gotten. Will be wiring, insulating and sheet rocking soon. I will wait for the siding until last. Suggestions welcome. Can't wait to start working on my 68 again.

Looks good. That will give you some room to work and be comfortable in the winter.

Looking great. The ability to stabilize the floor temp regardless the weather, will pay huge dividends. We should all be so lucky.

Keep up the fine work and thanks for sharing.

When I built my garage I put in skylights. Very nice to not have to turn on the lights every single time you go into the garage.

Looks like you are adding an attic storage area. Great idea. Did the same with mine.
Enough room for a lift?
Any drainage in the floor for a dripping car. Wish I had done that with mine.
