Garage approved!
I had to get approval by my local planning commission and then the board of commissioners to build my new garage because I wanted larger than the allowed size of 24 X 24. Got approved for 30 X 24. Construction starts right after the holidays. I'll post for help with framing when ready late Jan :yesnod:

Re: Garage approved! (z06bliss)
Now that is a nice size garage. Wish I had the room to build one that big
If I can give a suggestion beg, borrow, Steal, or rent a nail gun. I helped frame my brother in laws garage about the same size. What a nice tool. You can shoot a lot of nails with little fatigue and toe nailing is a breeze. I would not frame anything without one anymore. No I don't have one yet.
It looks like Mike has a place to work on his car now

Re: Garage approved! (Mike69)
Niiiiice... how many cars does a garage of that size fit? You might have to buy a few more C4 just to use that space? That sounds like a plan to me :yesnod:

Congrats Rex. Be glad to help you out.
I am pretty good at hitting nails with a hammer :smash:
Unfortunately, they are usually my fingernails :mad :eek:

Re: Garage approved! (Rex Ruby)
I'm curious about the cost... I've gotten a quote from a construction company that specializes in garage construction but it was big $$$. You know, I have to have the one that parks three cars, has a loft, fully insulated, fully dry walled. I'm not asking for much! Actually, like yourself, I'm probably gonna end up doing a fair amount myself. Does anybody know any reputable builders close to King of Prussia, Pa.?? Any ref's greatly appreciated!

Re: Garage approved! (Rex Ruby)
In the spring were going to build a bigger garage also. 28x28 with storage on top 1/2 and the other side open so I can use a backyard buddy type lift. Can't wait!!!

Re: Garage approved! (Rex Ruby)
Good going Rex. The only problem I see is that it is not big enough. We put up a 32 X 48 several years ago and it is full. You will be surprised how many things you neec to store once you have the room. I will keep watching your progress and perhaps if the weather and my schedule work out right I can give you a hand. No! I am not going to get a Corvette tatoo. There has to be some distinction between Corvette owners and HOGS. :lol:
