Ace-Garageguy Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 VERY nice, very realistic. I love the diagonal boards on the outside walls...I remember seeing a lot of structures built like that. Nice correct framing, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayne swayze Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 What vehicle will occupy the space Joe? Lots to look at the way it sits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southpier Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 I'm not sure if it will ever have a vehicle inside. I built it to hold all the waggy-bits that've been saved for years. like the R&D Unique compressor; probably had that sucker for 20 years and never got around to finishing it (still waiting on Precision Scale for a globe valve for the discharge). also have other projects planned to go inside - after I get doors & windows fitted. British Seagull style outboard motor, old motorized reel lawnmower, the list goes on and on and on ... and most of the stuff has a personal meaning. like the Mr Peanut poster, the can of C- rations, and the pictures pinned to the back wall, 5 gallon gas can - even the da**m shovel hanging by the big door and the 1952 license plate (birthday). even though I slipped in a wide flange beam on steel columns which will have a chainfall (at some point), it's meant more to be a regular guy's garage rather than a mechanic's. so there's going to be an accumulation of homeowner BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH - in addition to car stuff. maybe even a box of Christmas decorations up in the rafters ...... some day! thanks for looking.

afx Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 VERY nice, very realistic. I love the diagonal boards on the outside walls...I remember seeing a lot of structures built like that. Nice correct framing, too. Haven't seen plank sheathing in construction for a very long time. This would be a very old garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afx Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) My guess is you are or have been a carpenter at some point. Per-fab outside corners, bridging, double top plate all nice details. Edited January 28, 2015 by afx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
