Default Re: New garage to be built need your input

I did my garage 32 x 60 with 3 bay doors. Can't remember if they're 16' or 18'. I got the highest "R" value I could for them. We went 8-8-16 split face block. 2x4 interior walls w/exterior siding instead of sheetrock. If you're also a sign collector, you'll know why. Used a peeked roof with green standing seem metal roofing, Floor was done in light grey epoxy. Walls & ceiling is done in bright white semi gloss for easy cleaning & high visibility. I use 2/3 of the garage for storage & the other 1/3 for working. The working bay has 8 4' double tube lights staggered. the other bays have 4 4' double tube lights staggered per bay. Also put in 3 light switches so I could turn on only the lights I needed. I could only go 9'8" without an engineering stamp. Build as tall & as large as you can. Except for the rise in my property taxes, I don't regret it....Joe
