OSB was the right call so in the future if you decide to hang cabinets, shelves and attaching other stuff to the walls you have the ability to just put them where you want without worrying to much about stud location. Well done sir, well done!
That was kind of my thought also, the osb will have more strength for hanging what ever I need to. Thank you for watching and commenting, I appreciate it!
Nice garage, plenty of space and nice to shelter the vehicles winter and summer. I saw the beginning of your build, sure nice to have the help from your family members. I rented a paint sprayer when I did my garage and it took more time to tape and clean up that it did to spray the paint, but is sure lightens up the inside especially in the winter. Enjoy the garage and congrats to you and your bride.
Upper Peninsula DIY I know you mentioned why you didn’t go into pricing. I line in Southeastern PA. Do you think a garage like yours with out the bells and whistles could be built for under $35,000?
Nice garage Buddy, I used OSB also for my garage, primed and painted it, Makes it brighter in your shop! Whats great about OSB is you can put a nail or screw in anywhere! Enjoy It!!
Going to build garage...any advice as to total build cost to date for yours...others have asked but I did not find any numbers...thanks. Very nice work🐾
I usually don't answer when asked how much things cost because it will be different for everyone depending on materials used, deals and specials that can be found, etc... I don't have an exact dollar amount, probably better not knowing. haha I would ballpark it at having about $17k into it all said and done. That price is doing everything myself though and not hiring anyone.
Hello nice build, very nice garage. I envy you deeply. That said isn’t drywall actually cheaper than OSB per sheet. Not the labor? Now that you have OSB on the ceiling, isn’t going to put extra weight on the ceiling/trusses if you decide to drywall later...? You’re not worried about fire especially around your heater/furnace? Did you have to get your building inspected or are you in an area that does not require inspections? Greg
Hi Greg, Thank you for the compliment. Yes I had to pull a permit to build the garage and it had to be inspected through out each stage of the build. I went with OSB for a couple reasons but mainly so I could hang things on the wall were ever I wanted with having to be on a stud and also I don't know how to mud drywall. No worries of a fire with the furnace, it is installed to manufacturer specifications and really doesn't get that hot around it anyway. Hope that answers your questions and concerns. Thanks for watching and commenting!
You should blow in insulation in the attic to at least r30. You don’t lose much heat through walls but most through the ceiling. Plus you get icicles if ya don’t.
You don't have any support poles in the middle. What type of beams and sizes did you use to span the 32' walls? i'm assuming it's engineered wood, like glued wood. I don't know anything about it, but looking for the same outcome. And did they install 16" apart? Thanks,
I'm assuming your talking about the trusses. Here is a link to the build video of my garage: ruclips.net/video/hghjY2ycVIY/видео.html It's a little lengthy video but you can skip about the 24 minute mark and you can see what trusses I'm using. They are normal trusses that I ordered through Menards. The bottom cord is a 2x6" mainly to hold the live load in the attic space. We installed them 24" on center. Hope that helps, thanks for watching!
Been following your build here because it's really the most similar garage to what I'm planning. I'm designing it myself since I am an engineer and use AUTOCAD for a lot of stuff already. Curious on a few things on your build: 1. What is the pitch of your roof trusses? 2. Did you think about getting attic floor trusses so you could eventually build a room above the garage? I'm looking at doing 8/12 pitch attic trusses so they can support a floor above the garage with a 7' ceiling. For the slight bump in cost just makes sense. Did you consider that option? Maybe the cost is far more than I had thought? 3. Did you consider building the trusses yourself on the floor of the garage? I was pricing pre-fabbed and for half the cost it appears I could build my own with a jig and a good mitre chop saw. Did you just decide it wasn't worth the hassle or is pre-fabbed easier for permitting? Thanks! Enjoy your new garage!
1: roof is a 6/12 pitch. 2: Technically my trusses are called spread web trusses. The web is designed to create a space in middle of the truss. Then the bottom chord is a 2x6 to hold and is designed to hold a live load of 20.0psf. I wanted to have this design just for storage space, not really for living space. I would for sure recommend this style truss. 3: I would recommend you talk to your building inspector about building your own trusses. Some may not let you. I didn't consider making my own for the reason I didn't want to take the time to build all of them and it wasn't worth the hassle. Hope that help, Thanks for watching!
What is the height of your framed wall with out the blocks? I see you have 2 bottom plates and two top plates which totals 6 inches. if you have an 8 foor framed wall this would mean your studs had to be 90 inches for everything to line up correctly. So with all that being said, What is the height of your framed wall and the length of your studs? thanks.
On the bottom I have what is called a sill plate. Basically a treated 2"x 6" with a gasket separating the block from the wood. That is code in my area. Then the wall starts. I got up 8' wall from the top of the sill plate. I did this because the walls are 2" x 4" and would not come out to the edge of the sill (width wise) on the inside. That would make my stud length 91.5". That also gives me roughly a 10' ceiling height which is what I was going for. I hope that helps. I'm not sure what best practice is but that's just the way I did it and it passed inspection.
Three foot grate style drain in the middle of the garage with floor slopped to the drain. By code, at least one drain must be installed in a garage here. Thanks for stopping by, watching and commenting!
Thanks for stopping by and watching! Your right, a lot of people have asked that and I have not answered. The reason is I think it's irrelevant. The building materials are going to cost different in different areas, different states, even different countries. The big savings on this project was not having to pay labor to have someone else build it.
Upper Peninsula DIY thanks for replying last question how much concerte you pour in the inside concrete slab I know you used 4.5 yards for the footing but you didn't says how much you used for the slab and was it 4 inch or 6 inch thick thanks
I like garage videos. I spend more time in mine than in the house...lol Mr Mach sent me over to ya..he said you were kinda discouraged about your viewership and channel interest. Might I suggest that you engage your viewers by asking them questions in your vids, even if you already know the answers..lol..people just love giving advise to so-called noobs LMAO! Also, a tried and true method for getting your channel out there is to comment on peoples vids, even just a " thanx for sharing" is enough..pretty soon folks will recognize your name and reciprocate. Anyways, I subbed ya..so there ya go! Cheers!!
Thanks for the Sub Jeff, I subbed to your channel as well. Can't wait to check out your videos. Thank you for the tips, I appreciate it! I like the idea of asking questions even if I already know the answer. lol
I have a 24 x 32 x 9 steel building with a 45,000 btu furnace. No problems keeping up. I do have more insulation though r26 in the walls and r38 in the ceiling.
Sounds like you have a nice building! I'm hoping my furnace will keep up this winter. Our winters have been pretty easy the last few years so it might do all right. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for stopping by and watching Louis! If I remember right it had rained that day so the floor is wet just from the wet vehicle coming in out of the rain.
Gillies, in his first video he stated it was a 32' X 32' and he installed 10' wide by 8' foot tall doors, it appears to be just over 9' tall. I built my garage with the same 8' walls on top of the two cinder blocks, with the mortar joints it is almost 9' - 7" tall. To drywall or use OSB it is only an 8' wall. Good luck on your build. If or when you decide to build, acquire the garage doors first and build around them, much easier that way. I love having the larger doors of 10' X 8' it allows for just about any vehicle to be parked. If you use the 8" block use a 10" pressure treated for the sill plate ripped down to the 8" width, this will eliminate an open hole situation over the cinder blocks, do not ask me how I know......
Thanks for stopping by and subscribing Doug! I appreciate it! The trusses are called a spread web design. Creates an area within the trusses for storage. The bottom chord is a 2x6 instead of a 2x4 to accommodate for the live load. In some of my other garage videos I show a better picture of them. Thanks again Doug!
Are you going to have your generator’s exhaust vented to the outside? You’re definitely going to need that as you probably know. Great job on the shop, it looks great! 👍🏻
I hear ya, trust me I thought about it but we use the garage for everyday parking our vehicles in it. A hoist would get in the way. Future plan is build another pole bard style garage to work in with a hoist. Thanks for stopping by!
I don't usually mention the cost of the garage because it will vary widely depending on location and what features you put into the garage. Heck I'm still putting money into it. I would say roughly 20-25K to get it nearly finished and doing it yourself like I did. Double that estimate if you have someone build it for you.
Here is a link to the video I made about the lights: ruclips.net/video/6tm81fpL5Y0/видео.html An update to that video though is that I ended up installing LED bulbs in the lights and haven't had a problem sense. The info and links are in the description of that video. Thanks for watching!
It is 32' x 32' with 10' ceiling. I have a video slide show on the construction: ruclips.net/video/hghjY2ycVIY/видео.html. Thanks for stopping by and watching!

Nice garage, sure you well enjoy that. Every man needs a shop space.
I agree, and the space is never big enough no matter what size you make it. Thanks for watching!
That is why they invented the addition, LOL
Nice garage Buddy, I used OSB also for my garage, primed and painted it, Makes it brighter in your shop! Whats great about OSB is you can put a nail or screw in anywhere! Enjoy It!!
Thank you, I appreciate that! I get some criticism for using OSB but it works and I like it.

More insulation always is a good thing. Thanks for watching and commenting!
How much did you spend on that entire project?
That's a nice space. I see lots of possibilities!
Thank you! It definitely keeps me busy through the winter with being able to do projects while it's cold outside. Thanks for stopping by!
Nice I will love to have extra Space for my cars
Always nice to have a place to park your cars. Seems like the garage is never big enough though. haha
Upper Peninsula DIY I have a 3 car garage and I need a one more the same size or bigger

The slab took 13.25 yards of concrete at a 6 bag mix with reduced air. The slab is 4 inches thick.
Yes My Q. is can you pick that shop up and bring it here, I really need that same one so bad brother, lol Great work space, cheers The Dizzy ONe.
Thanks buddy! I feel fortunate to have a great work space.

Nice shop! Makes it nice!
Thank you! It's great to have a space to work in. The best part may be not having to brush of the vehicles or scrape window during the winter! lol

Are you going to have your generator’s exhaust vented to the outside? You’re definitely going to need that as you probably know. Great job on the shop, it looks great! 👍🏻
Thanks and thanks for commenting! I just open a garage door if the generator is running.
I'm getting ready to build one myself with 14 foot ceiling so I can install a lift
14 foot ceilings will be really nice! Good luck on your garage! Thanks for stopping by!
Upper Peninsula DIY
can I get a copy of the plans
this is exactly what I want
only difference I want a garage door in the back and more windows
john hash
a old school pit is cheaper then a hoist
john hash let me know how much it cost u um thinking about one too with high ceiling
Nice. Oh and you're still in your honeymoon year so congrats.
Nice! You could move in that thing if you wanted! :-)
lol I guess that's always an option. Thanks for stopping by!
Can you make a video of u opening and closing the garage doors
but no room hight for a lift. big mistake i would say :)
I hear ya, trust me I thought about it but we use the garage for everyday parking our vehicles in it. A hoist would get in the way. Future plan is build another pole bard style garage to work in with a hoist. Thanks for stopping by!
There’s plenty of room for a lift, you could get a scissor lift for a low profile and can park over it all the time
What size garage is this
The garage is 32' x 32' with 10' ceiling.
How much did u spend I’m trying to get one
I don't usually mention the cost of the garage because it will vary widely depending on location and what features you put into the garage. Heck I'm still putting money into it. I would say roughly 20-25K to get it nearly finished and doing it yourself like I did. Double that estimate if you have someone build it for you.
Go with LED lighting
Thanks for the tip!
Can i get a link to the outdoor lights that dim? Thanks!
