RoninLB says
Guys, I urged Ron to post this pic. Ron wrote back, said he doesn't think it's noteworthy. I disagree.
As you know, Ron's road warrior 911 is soon to have a new home. Ron is building a new garage/shop. He has found a good contractor, but still likes to keep an eye on things. So, a pic of Ron hard at work during construction. Now, at the risk of Ron's wrath...I ask you: Noteworthy? I think so...it illustrates well the absolute best way to build a new garage!

Having met Ron, I would agree, "Noteworthy"

When I first read this my heart sunk. I was thinking the worse (ie. he had sold his car) and that the end was near. Good Luck with the new garage. Hope to see you in Nov.

Of all the people out there he is the one guy who deserves a new garage

This is as it was. Probably built in the 1930's as a 1 1/2 garage. 2x4's directly on 1" slab. I wouldn't even put my car it it.
 Nassau Co, Long Island has restrictions galore. It's nuts. The garage had to be stripped of stucco after it was tested in 3 spots for environmental controlled toxins [formaldehyde] so the inspector could check for termites and rats . If he passes it you have 10 days to tear it down or suffer getting a new inspection for $500. I don't get the logic of 10 days in a garage demo.  no question the old garage was a mess  now the good stuff The header you see stretched out on the grass is 5.25" x 18" x 33' Parallam engineered wood. It looks mean up close.

it weighs about 30#/ft     height restrictions as per zoning board and me looking for every inch developed into double up on 2x8 with the spacers instead of 2x10's

Which leads to the next item..rollaways. I already suggested Ron go wider than taller with the rollaway tool set-up. Wish I'd gone wider instead of taller with my
26" wide 3 chest 15 drawer Craftsman set...Should have gone 48" wide. Hindsight is crystal clear.

That looks like a Norman Rockwell, "A Porsche Christmas".
Are you running air tools in your new digs? I'd be interested in how you do it...I'm turning some old barn space into a shop. Quote:

What are you going to do for heat ron? I'd imagine a gas heater hanging from the rafters.....or did you go with the heated floor?
