My new garage.

It got a real bad name back then. Dryvit Systems, Inc

Yup, Dryvit got a bad reputation, but am not convinced it was the actual product's fault.

IIRC, Dryvit was a type of stucco on home exteriors. Problem was the overall system where many installations were not correct. Problems occurred when either foam or wood backing extended below the plaster and allowed water to wick upward, or flashing was not correct and allowed water to gravity feed. End result was soggy wood backing. If termites did not get to the wood first, it rotted from water and would also compromise the walls. Repairs were expensive, but once done *correctly*, everything was good.

I've heard similar stories about SIPs.
They have a lot of issues, most of which are lack of attention to detail.

Nice scaffold.
With the inverted V bracing in the middle of the walkway, will that make it feel somewhat tippy when stepping from one edge to the other ? ? ? ?

 

[denata]

The arms of the inverted V are offset from the center. They are not on the same axis. One arm supports the far side, the other arm supports the near side. I loaded 250 kg (~500 lbs) on the center and nothing cracked.

Cool build thread.

 

[Big T]

That's right. The snow has melted, and before it falls again, we need to act.

Gott make hay while the sun shines….errr pour concrete while the temps are above freezing.

I was sick for 2 weeks and didn't do anything.
Built 8 rows. Height from the future floor ~ 8.5-9 feet. Would like a ceiling height of 12-13 feet. So that you can drive into the garage and not unscrew the antenna.

 

[Will L.]

Are you adding a car lift at some point?

 

[MrMarty51]

Good to hear frum You, hope that the sick spell has passed.
Car lift would be a splendid addition, if there’s room.

 

[denata]

The lift is of course a good thing, but expensive. Sectional gate will cost about the same.

I'm thinking of adding windows to the front and back.

I built my garage with 10 foot ceiling.
I Was not going to install windows. Figure when I walk in the lights have to be turned on anyway.
My son talked me into installing windows.
After living with windows in the garage, if ever I was going to do it again. I would not install windows.
Makes no difference whats being worked on, especially working under the hood of any vehicle, the sun glares through the windows and always right where You need to see whats down lower but the glare is so bright that anything within shadows is unseeable.
Then it also takes a trouble light which has problems of its own too.
Go ahead and install windows, but, make up Your mind before they get too dirty, then if need be some sort of a sunscreen can be applied over them.

I have lots of windows. I get claustrophobic if I feel cooped up
