The Garage
- Thread starter cybrfire
- Start date
I don't know about where y'all live, but a 10 yard load of concrete runs about 1400 bucks for a cash customer out here in the Denver area. A standard 2 car garage is usually 6-8 yards. Depending on thickness. 33,000 dollars is outrageous for an oversized 3 car garage. @cybrfire was there a concrete pump involved?
My 24x24 slab was overdone on purpose using 12 yards, installed with steel was $1800. I went with a semi-smooth finish, didn't want the polished slippery one or the brushed rough.
And got the decking done this morning, just need to install the trim and gutters.
Trim work is a nice medium blue, can't wait.

I have no idea why that quote was so high. I got another shortly after that one for 24,000. Literally the quotes for the cement work were all over the map. The guy that ended up doing it did a great job and I'm very pleased with it as well as the price I paid. He's already been contracted for another job at the DIY4X building.
MmmmmmmmmmmmmBLAAGHHHTTT....:Yikes:..

I found my long missing water pump pliers the same way...blades on my mower deck didn't like trying to mulch them...both pliers and blades got bent badly...

I'll second that. ^^^^^^^^^^^
But, how long after the build before you can't park anything in there?

Why do I keep expecting to see pics of you trying to weld the 2x4s together. lol
Looking great, Kurt. Nice job.
Did those headers come pre-cut? They do that a lot out here. I'm just curious as to the single trimmers even on a non-load bearing wall?
I'm guessing you are doing boxed soffits, too, as the outriggers are missing?

I've got it pretty solid in my mind that two stalls are for parking while the third is for a project or another. I'm going to do my best to keep it that way. I do have an Ace in the hole here though.
Ya know, during construction, the topic of an all steel building came up. 2x2 square tubing frame, AR plate wall sheets and roof, bedliner coating. Maybe some doors that opened and closed hydraulically. Another life perhaps.
There is an overhead hoist in the works. Can't do much with that till I can get some inside sheeting and insulating done.
Ya know, I'm not a carpenter and don't do this kinda work so I really have no idea what you just said right there. LOL!!
Keep us posted Zim!
