 For the floor we had 57 stone gravel delivered. We placed the stone in at a 4″ depth and 6 mil poly over the entire floor surface. Concrete will be poured at a 4″ thickness with perimeter expansion joints place in concrete to allow for potential slab movement. The framing starts with a 2 x 8 pressure treated sill plate that is bolted to the foundation with hot dipped galvanized 1/2″ anchor bolt. We then framed the walls with 105″ framing studs and created 4 openings in the garage for 1-8′ door and 3-equally spaced windows on each remaining wall. Header sizes are doubled 2 x 10′s and 2 x 8′s respectively. The entire exterior will be sheathed with 7/16″ OSB. Box trusses with a 10/12 pitch will be installed for upper storage area that will be accessed thought the front of the building above the 8′ door.

The cornice on the garage is white vinyl vented soffit and PVC aluminum trim coil. Windows for this project are white vinyl with grids and were manufactured by Plygem.
