I have the twin to this garage in my backyard. About the same size and it's clad in cedar. I just love that old thing but I want to convert it into a livable space. Thanks for sharing.
Me and my dad got it done in a weekend (16-18ish hours). If we were just going to demo it without trying to save any of the good boards we could have finished in a day easily.
@@ThrownSparksGarage I have to do this same job on my old garage. It's leaning and it has a lot of rotten wood on it. Do you think you could have done this entire job alone? I will be pretty much working by myself. Thanks.

This is extremely helpful thank u
How did you dispose of the garage door and related materials?
Anything that was salvageable was saved, and either kept for future projects or sold. Everything that was "junk" was taken to the landfill.
How many hours did this take overall?

How did you go around eletricals???
It was disconnected from the main breaker in the house so there was no power to the garage when being tore down
why did you do tear it down?
It was gonna cost close to 1k to have it demolished, and at the time lumber was expensive so I recycled a lot of what I tore down for other projects.
@@ThrownSparksGarage yes but what reason for tearing it down? I understand why you did it yourself.
Built a bigger garage
Where is the technical information on HOW TO USE HAND TOOLS
Does your garage back right onto the neighbors lawn?
No but they made the back of my garage part of their fence
@@ThrownSparksGarage Will you be able to do that with your new garage?
No it’ll be farther off the property line

Yeah I could have done it alone, I would have cut the boards into smaller more manageable pieces if doing it solo.
What did you do with the siding you saved?
Holding onto it for some future projects
I want to turn my Garage into a Solar Pergola, Debating on tearing the whole thing down and starting over or converting it somehow.
Ball park price for garage demo if you were to do it for a customer....customer want me to tear down garage
I know the guy who was going to demo my garage was gonna use a mini excavator and I saved around 800 tearing the garage down myself.
don't cut that building up for a while. Some upper class yuppie would pay handsomely for it!
