After better than 20 years of pleading with the other half she finally caved in.
Put this up about 5 years ago. 45x40.
Natural gas furnace and insulated. Want to put in a mezzanine for storage someday.
Also can't decide whether to install either a 2 post or a 4 post lift

It's a metal building with the front spruced up a little to match the house.

Nice work on those garages! Money well spent for enjoying the cars too!!

Spray foam is the way to get more R value in a 2x4 stud. Will you get at least R 19? Got those joist hangers on those 2 x12s already? Thats a "coachhouse" for sure!

[dreamn69]

Joist hangars are installed. With the foam, house wrap and sheetrock should be about R25-30 all in.

Closed cell everywhere? Thats is going to one sweet place!

Mudslinger, I have both a 4 post and a 2 post. If it's just to store a car the 4 post is great but if you're gonna use it to work on cars alot then the 2 post is more user friendly.

Closed cell encapsulating the entire upstairs room, roof and west wall. Blown cellulose on the rest.

Outside is waiting on Concrete and light installation.



All insulation finished:



And a window installed upstairs to overlook the lift bay

No, it's on Armitage Ave. 3200 or 3300 W. block in Chicago proper.

Is that the Arlington plant Judge which Quint Stires built?

[Wakepowell]

No, both Judges are Pontiac MI built cars

[63Banshee]

Ah, ok. The wing on the polar white car looks black, which I remember that as being an Arlington plant only option. Had a 1 in 50 something chance of it being his build --

That's an urban myth. There are documented cars from Oshawa and Detroit that I know of with the WT7 (black with and red/black stripes). My car is the promo car used for advertising in '70. That's why it has the black spoiler and tach. Thanks for the compliments.

I see you are from Flower Mound. I'm just south of you.

[63Banshee]

I thought that might be the case. Last time I studied up on the 70 Judge was 20 years ago. At that time no black spoiler cars outside of Arlington we known. Good looking stable.

Let me know if you need an extra hand or anything else.

After looking at some of these garages
I felt bad and spent the weekend reorganizing mine

[Old Goat 67]

Good job!
