That is the height of the ceiling where the entire frame ends. its 12 feet tall 30 feet wide and 24 feet deep.
gonna have atleast 2 places to connect into the air system. one hanging down from the ceiling in the middle that will have a 50' reel and one by the front door in the middle that will just be a place to connect an extra air hose to do tires. and what not out in front.

:liljon:

Where do you live, or where is this being built?

Good shit!

All I see is little red x's. And considering I am an Architectural draftsman, that a really well done project. :P

i live off of foothill road. like 3 lights south of Joe Bobs.

Sweet...maybe by June I will have some parts that need installing...

How come you didn't pour the slab with the rest of the footings? Usually it's all poured together so you can save money on the cost of the trip for the concrete truck?

we couldnt cause hte guy doing the concrete messed his finger up so he couldnt work all week and this was the only time the framers had until july.

edit: more pictures
here is one showing exactly how tall this beast is because they finished framing the roof today. thats me standing in front of it. sorry its small my internet is being stupid. theres still more bigger ones when my internet speeds back up.

hmmmmm .... slanty!

So do you live in the North Valley area? That school looks like the on in Cold Springs.

no i live in south reno.
its lenz elementary off of foothill road.

Oh... wow, I didn't know that the district used that floor plan down in South Reno. My bad.

Cool, The subaru is done but I'll need a lift to back-half the new project.......

for sure man when the garage is done your more than welcome. id like to see a project like that.

i saw the new turbo on nabisco...with a dsm intake?

i drive a dsm though so i cant make fun haha.

IBEvo!=DSM

stop riding the short bus cody...o wait :lol:

No on this board we readily accept that 4G63 = DSM

IBDSMpuristsclaimitsnotareal4G63

its cause its a 6 bolt crank instead of a 7. or that might be backwards but one of the two.

speaking of cranks.

what is crank walk?

bump for update

right now they are setting the forms for the driveway and they should pour the cement tomorrow.

other than that the exterior is mostly finished the stucco is done and all the trim is done. The inside is drywalled and taped and should get painted early next week. The lift comes mid next week and the new transformer for the 220v for the lift should be finished next week as well.

Its getting closer. ill try to get some new pictures today.

updates:

well the garage doors go in friday, the lift goes in saturday, the compressor goes in monday, the floor gets sealed some time next week when i have time.

some tools got here today and more are coming early next week :)

Damn, looks nice.

baller.

Put up the "BCT" sign out front... :D

Why did you buy that T70? I told you that I have one! and I only paid 11.37 for it.

I drove by your house the other day on the way to my parents house and no one was home. Looking awesome though!

Awesome, I have to buy some parts so I have a reason to use the lift...lol.

Man, I want a lift in my garage. I'm tired of spending an hour simply swapping wheels and climbing under the car sucks. One cool thing is that it takes no jack or tools at all to change my oil. Fumoto Oil Valve FTW.

Robby... take one picture with you in it where you don't look like a shortstop cutting off a throw from center.

Also, are you coming to the Trials this Saturday?

Ddue, you have a nice view of that schoolyard...Hello internet.

they blocked it matt. don't ask me how i know :)

scott im not sure i might be headed up to lake almanor with a buddy but if I don't i will probably head out there and help out.

I was asking just 'cause Dave and Carol didn't get a registration from you for the PDX, and were wondering if you were coming.

i was under the impression i cant drive until im 18. that and i have 0 money and shit tires.

I thought PDX was possible w/ a minor waiver... or that only for T.E.A.M. or something?

TEAM i could only ride along with a minor waiver AND a parent present at the track :lol:. ill email dave. probably wont make this one but if im allowed to drive the next one for sure.

more stuff. toolbox is really nifty. both sides onpen up and then the shelves with slide to either side.

The oil drain extends up taller too.

btw the floor is going to be sealed. we might do it white so it will reflect light and not need a drop light but im not sure.

A chrome floor would reflect the light better.

Tranny jack FTMFW!!!!! To hell with all that other shit! TRANNY JACK!!! I'm so proud of you...

That really is a sweet garage, I hope to do somehting along those lines some day.

i have a funny picture involving the tranny jack. ill post it up tommorow.

awesome garage. are the air lines behind the sheetrock??

yep. theres actually a reel thats getting mounted on the ceiling that is one of those self retracting locking dealios and then a connection out front to use to fill tires and what not.

When do the women in bikinis with carwash mits get installed?

Women like that don't talk to Robby... sweet-ass garage or not... :P


(Also, they don't talk to me... except for the occasional "pshht... as-if... I'm not washing that. :roll:")
