Building a 50' x 25' garage with 2nd floor

Here it is. Just be warned-you'll never use "fake" lick & stick veneer again!!


Why do you say that?...Just curious, ready to put this suff on my foundation...about 1200 sq feet of coverage....If there's an issue, it would be a great help to know before I order it!!!...Thanks

There's no issues with the man made stone veneer. What I meant is that once you use the classic cut real stone, you'll like it so much, you'll never use Eldorado or the other "man made" stone again!!

She's all done, except for the driveway. Here's some more pictures:









Gotta have a garage door for the tractor!

Thanks for the update and finished pictures. It's a very nice looking building and one that I'm sure added tremendous value to their home and property. I always like projects that the client gets value for their investment.

Well done.

Having built 12 different types of go kart over the past 25 years, the question has been asked of me many times: "How Do You Build A Go Kart?"

I'll be honest, my first go karts weren't pretty, but once I got the knack of it, it wasn't so bad.

Basically what you do is follow a series of steps:

- Design it in your head
- Put it on Paper
- Analyze it
- Procure Materials
- Fabricate
- Test
- Tweak
- Paint
- Start over....

Sounds easy enough...

Design It In Your Head

The first step of "design it in your head" really means you are wrestling with all the variables:

- Number of Persons
- Engine Size
- Clutch Type
- Drive System
- Suspension Type
- Component Sizes
- Material Type
- Expected Terrain

Looks great, the detail work is first rate, I especially like those style garage doors.
Is that real wood shakes on the gable ends or just high end siding?

Thanks!

It's called "Cedar Discovery". It's made by Mastic. It's just a vinyl product made to look like cedar shakes.

For some reason, my pictures suck. They come out "pixilated". I load them to webshots, then import them over to here. I have a nice camera, but the pictures are fuzzy.

Builder,

Your pictures look fine. They are sharp and clear. I don't see any pixels or anything that looks fuzzy. Are you seeing this with just your pictures? I wonder if it's your computer? On my screen, they look great.

The pics look clear to me, but why are you using a host site? just upload from computer straight to your post, unless they are a huge file size. I tried enlarging yours or zooming in and couldn't even from the host site.

I was gonna comment that something looked deceiving, as the depth front to back looked kind short for the size of the building? the over hang looks huge 4-5 ft? how was that cantilevered, 2x12's?
