Space......got to have space!

It is 1300 sg feet, no support poles. I had them install 22" I-beam( two of them) so their would be no poles to hold it up.

Also had a 10 foot celing so some day I could install stackers if I needed more space.

Got hot water heat in the floor.....you can sit down on your a$$ if need be and still be warm. Once all the floor get to 74 deg it just a big "hot rock" , open the doors to get car out in the -20 deg day and with in 10 mins it's all back to 74.

It only took me 15 years to be able to build the garage with a house hooked on to it!

If you ever build a garage you got to do the hot water heat thing......if you live up north!

Now that is one fine looking SE-Trike...Milwaukee are you boys seeing this ?  [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif]

Like the trikes, more room for 'stuff' and of course there's the ice cream connection. Tried a sidecar a few times, and it's a whole different method of setting up and executing, or trying to, do corners and curves. Dogs love it, and kids fight to get in the car.
 
Maybe in the far away future when the legs give out ?  [smiley=idea3.gif]

Horsepower is how fast you hit a wall.Torque is how far you will take the wall with you.

Got hot water heat in the floor
Dean
Hey Dean, If you lose the heat source to the water, will it not freeze and damage the pipes/flooring/etc. due to being insulated in the ground?   [smiley=nixweiss.gif]  spyder
