My wife and I bought our first home this February. Needed a garage.

... then got the concrete walls poured & did some backfill when they were cured enough.

Thank you for those pics! Looks like a great build and a nice warm place to wrench on that purty jeep. Please keep us informed on the progress, with lots of pictures!
 
looking good. I remember my first garage. It was so nice not to have to crawl around on the gravel.:thumbsup:
 
A clean start to a fun project! :thumbsup:

Starting to organize junk and prepare insulation. Winter was coming fast (November 2010).

Jeep garage. Where magic happens.

Coax jack on top - antenna is in attic.

2-speaker in wall jack.

Tossed some 1/2" OSB in the trusses to facilitate some simple attic storage.

Great looking, and the jeep sign is a fantastic touch!
 
Have any new pics for us to drool over?
 
Very nice!

Now that you have had the garage for a bit of time, can you think of anything you wish you would have done differently?

I ask this because after rebuilding my garage, I wish I would had added a hose spigot for quick wash outs, and a few more air lines.
 
Looks pretty darn good.

Could use more light though... :)
