Some progress on the garage rebuild. They saw cut the old slab and dug up the footers. Dug new footers, added a lot of rebar and then this morning poured new concrete. They will come back and grind/sand the floor to blend the old to the new. Still troweling the concrete but it is shaping up.

Today they started framing

Oh awesome, can't wait to see it finished.

I have a new “white box” 2 car garage in our new place to finish, just in the early planning stages as of yet.

Planning is sometimes the most fun part of a project like that although the end result is of course what counts. Pics when done!

Nothing like a Garage with an attached House instead of the other way around!

Looks like a lot of ceiling height for a lift.

Amazing progress!!

Some of us, myself included, have a real problem......

So is this bomb shelter or a garage bomb shelter for Porsches?

We renovated a 100 year old house a few years back. Everything had been neglected for years, but the garage even more than the rest. The garage renovation required major structural work to widen the garage and driveway including new structural steel, temporary supports for the building façade, etc.. We also chopped and re-poured the entire floor slab and epoxy coated in the garage.

Here are a few before shots and then some of it now:

I just received this week’s Carpoke summary email which has a picture of your garage in it. I’ve never seen it before, so I came into this thread searching for it. I just love what you’ve done. Is that Queens or Brooklyn NYC? I grew up in NYC and can appreciate what you said about even a small garage is a luxury.

Your garage also can function as entertainment / me-time space which is another rarity in Gotham.

What’s the conduit under the car for? I like the cable you used to hold the exterior wood planks together. Great idea! And seeing your Eley reel reminds me I need to install mine.
