What are you putting in for a floor and bracing for it?


I am going to use 1x2 tubing for the floor supports and 3/4" Treated plywood and skin the under side with sheetmetal. Then lay carpet over it.


Got a quote today to powder coat it. Now I just need to sell a kidney. But still cheaper than wrapping it.

I should have the frame finished by Saturday and skinned with windows Sunday. Life has kept me busy lately.

Your garage is way too neat and orderly! Great work!

Got all the bracing in and finished the window frames. Started the floor supports. Tomorrow will be to finish the floor and start roof supports. Should skin it, install windows and the door Sunday.





I also added to my garage tool collection. Not pretty but it is a good drill press and it was a gift.
