My fav.city on the planet so far. (Montreal is a close 2nd). I'll PM you.

Just came across something that might be helpful even at this stage in the game. Guy on another forum has a 4 post lift and he installed single tube flourescent lights on the inside rails of the lift, both sides, all the way down. You'd need to be careful when pulling a transmission or something like that, but for aligning cars or doing oil changes, etc, it lights the bottom up pretty damn nicely!

I would put in a wet bay with a water heater, a dissolved solids filter, a full curtain and dedicated drainage, and seriously consider a downdraft solvent station.

The forum just ate my reply Here is re-do:

Here is the current state:

Trees removed. Just need to get rid of the brush tonight. The tractor comes tomorrow to "grub" then it gets filled next week and settles over the winter.

36'w X 40'd floor, walls and footing goes down in the spring. It will have a 2nd floor and a pie shaped connecting room (mud room/solarium) to the house.

I plan to restore 2 or 3 Z's a year.

HS30 I am putting a large concrete pad and 10' X 20' shed in the back "woods". That should be complete in a few weeks.

I may put something else on the pad that has a "down draft" and maybe even a garage door on the back of the garage to facilitate travel to the special building. It will also have white LED lights on the walls... go figure

Another shot of the hole to fill.

It's a nice city i suppose, it is like everything else, you don't see it when you have it, I'm actually on my way out of Copenhagen, building on the country side, half hour drive from CPH

And now for the PM

Look to be a nice lot you have there

Sweet S2000 Phil! I like the Silver/Red combo. Sounds like some grand plans in the works, good luck!

My garage is about the same size, with a 10X40 back room. It is big enough to fit 8 Z-cars without any room for benches, or 2 '59' Cadillac's with barely enough room for a bench.

I've been busy the last month:

I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK.

Sadly I had to take down my daughter's tree house from 2003.

The area was grubbed by a small excavator but I ended up bringing a bigger one in to finish. Rates were $70/hr for the small and $150/hr for the bigger one.

Finishing the crushed stone.

25'w X 24'd slab with in-floor heat. In this area of Canada, one can build a slab up to this size of 600'sq without having to do a footing and the extra inspections.

The slab is still drying thus the Canuck-like hockey-rink look.

I have ~ 20' to the property line on the back and 10' on the side so I can easily get cars to the back and store them.... lots of room out of my wonderful wife's view.

Next steps: Walls and roof.

btw this is a "shed". The garage will go next to the house... practice makes perfect.

What about insulation under the slab ?

Edited November 20, 201212 yr by ChrisZ

yup. 6 mil vapour barrier and 2" thick plain-Jane white styrofoam insulation (same stuff I used in my house 20 years ago)... works great.

FYI The building suppliers try to push the more expensive denser styrofoam for under the concrete but the white stuff is fine. I had to move a pipe that passed through the basement floor in my house 2 years ago and after punching through , the 18 year old foam was absolutely fab under the slab... dry and thick.
