I'm so excited. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Yesterday we finished our garage at about 9pm, and right after we finished cleaning up it started snowing. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) Now we have lots of snow with huge drifts in our yard.
Any ways, the garage has 3 bays, and each bay should be able to fit 2 cars. Only problem is, the garage is already filled with cars. We have 2 914's, a 911, and a '50 Ford F-1 project to put into it. Then, it has a full 24x36 room on top of the garage with a loft on top of that. It also is post and beam framing so there are no walls. Now we just have to bring the cars home, It looks wrong having no cars in the garage. Sorry no pictures at this time (its 10 degrees out, and I have the day off from school, so I'm too lazy to go out and take pics) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Here's a sketch though.

Its not really "real" post and beam like our house is because its not mortised and tenioned (sp?), but is really cool. I'll take some pics of the inside and post them when I finally get out side to take pics of the rest. The company that produced it (its a kit, sort of) is called country carpenters and they are great to deal with. It was kinda wierd, because of the price of plywood and 2x4's, this kit was actually compable to normal stick constructon. Country Carpenters We saved the extra money post and beam cost by escavating (my dad has some serious machinery), building the forms, pouring the foundation and assembling the kit ourselves.
That's not funny Paul (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ar15.gif) Sorry I'm long winded, and I'll get some interior pics for you later (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) Jim |
