Detached garage progress...
Now that some real progress has been made I thought I would share what we have been up to the past few weeks. We are in the middle of building a 23'6 x 32 detached garage for the boat and truck. This thing has 14ft high ceilings! Walls went up yesterday and the height is just crazy. For the boat, I did a 10x12 door, and the truck got a 10x8. The back side of the building has a 8x7 to open for air flow and so we have a view of the water. We plan on building a deck off the back, which would wind up about 10 ft. higher than the water level. We did a walk in door on the side between the house.
This project has been in the works for months, but finally took off. We are limited on width due to property line, otherwise I would have gone for 25 wide. Hopefully the pics will kinda tell the story, but I am super pumped to see this thing finally standing. We had to tear the storage building in the first pictures down for the project, and last night we stood it back up. It will be tied into the main structure as one, divided off as a storage building for mowers and such with the original double doors on the outside so none of the messy yard stuff and equipment I have will have to be on the clean side. There is also a door from the main side going into the storage building, which you can see framed on the right side. They are sheeting today, and expect to have the whole thing sided and dried in early next week.

The old storage building, they have started to tie together. Will wind up being about a 10x12 storage room for mower and stuff

This drain will be directly under the rear drain hole on the boat and drains outside. Now I can raise it high and the water will disappear!

And a shot from the rear corner..these walls are tall! It took 30yds of concrete for the slab and beams.

Looks great Dusty. Jill said she was surprised you kept the boat outside with as much as you take care of it. I've definitely got garage envy. Maybe I should move up there where I could have the room to build one, it would probably only tack on an extra 15 minutes to the commute to the office.

That looks awesome man, big time garage envy here. The drain for the bilge was some great planning ahead. Don't forget to epoxy coat the floor for that showroom shine!

Awesome looking indeed! I want to build our garage bigger; the configuration of our lot and association rules won't allow a large detached, so I am going to have to live with adding a third stall on the end; looking at this makes me bummed that I didn't get it done before winter!

Looks great congrats! Enjoy that new garage
Re: Detached garage progress...
A little more progress today. Hoping to tar paper all of the roofing tomorrow and finish all the siding.

Rear view of the old and new tied together. Maximized storage in the roof of the old!

Re: Detached garage progress...
That would sure make it easy for me to wrangle them up!
Re: Detached garage progress...
Quick update. Doors are being installed as we speak.

Only lighting in these two pics are from that center led light. It's a Rab CLED2x20. It is on a motion sensor aimed at both doors. When either door opens it comes on and provides enough light to be able to see while backing the boat in without having to get out and turn a light on.
