Finally got the garage started!

The upstairs loft would make a fine Photo studio for all those pictures you post in the MLR.
Gotta have some place to take all those pictures of your subjects and I'm sure your wife is tired of having them in and around the house.

I was away on business and these were taken last week while I was gone by the Mrs'. She does her best with a camera and her iPhone ............
I don't know a demmed thing about construction, but it looks mighty good, and I think your wife is an excellent photographer. The pictures are stunning!
A drywall hoist is worth its weight in gold. I can hang sheets on the ceiling all day long, by myself.Looking good ! Who is the lucky one who gets to hang the rock? The days of 12ft. sheets are over for me. Maybe get lucky and the wife will want to mud for you!
Mudding is another issue. I can do it well but can't stand doing ceilings.
I've done this, too, but with a homemade bracing system. Can't say I wanna do it again, though. Still, I'll take the 12 footers over the 8's any day (as long as they're not 5/8").
Keep the pics coming, Dawg. Looks like a really rewarding project!
Usually it's only a matter of time before we wish we would have went bigger... but I think you are good to go for a while.
Wait until he gets all of his toys in there
Recommendation from one of the guys working on it. Ask me if I was planning on washing cars in the garage and if so it may be a good idea. For the little added cost I said what the hell ................
Wash down was why I went with the 4 block course rise anyway so may as well take care of car wash over spray .........

Gone But Not Forgotten
That's 50 sheets of 5/8 x 12 for the 2 ceilings, their using a jack, scaffolding, glue, and screws. I'll be at work ............
Yeah I bet you will.
And while your at work your wife will be finishing the garage yes???

Monday or Tuesday 12, 4 foot T-8 fluorescent 6 bulb fixtures go up, each one is spose to be equal to a 400 watt metal halide at half the cost to operate! Thanks TC for having the calc done for me. While I'm at it, Murph had the calc done on the heat and Big Al did the initial drawings. It's a FF team garage!
No prob
