Garage Building Plans

There is a long list of  mistakes that can be made when undertaking a major project such as building a garage. Have you thought about these??

Photobucket1- Adequate foundation support and reinforcing.
2- Maximum span lengths per truss or joist.
3- Reinforcements or post supports at headers.
4- Roof slope, overhang width and effect on clearance.
5- Proper and secure tie-ins to existing structure.
6- Waterproofing requirements at roof connection to existing structure.

How can garage building plans help? Well for one if you are tying to an existing house with your garage, you must be very careful with structural and water sealing issues. But you realize this and many other potential problems you must face. Mistakes can be costly. I like to have all the help and advice I can get on this type of venture. I’m fortunate to have some experienced carpenters I can call on for advice. But I want more than that too. I don’t do a lot of large projects or very often and I like to “read up” on them as I am getting started.

Well there are many ways to get this help.

Not too long ago the only resources, besides that experienced friend, was the small building plan books sold in the lumber supply stores. Now these are not all bad. And, we’ve all used them, or at least gotten some ideas from them. But I want to tell you a about a much better way!

Now with the Internet at our fingers we can do so many more things and get so much more information. This goes for Garage Building Plans too.

I love doing this type project. But I hate the preparation, getting the materials together… and most of all I hate it when I realizing that I forgot something and have to waste my time going back to the supply store again… and again.

There are three main reasons that I like to have real good plans for my larger projects: 1- Saves me time getting together the materials. 2- Helps me with the DETAILS. Even if I know them, it’s good to have reminders. And 3- I feel safer and can enjoy the building and not worry about what I forgot. These plans will help you with planning. By having a step-by-step plan I don’t forget something important. It maybe electrical, plumbing, insulation…. you’ve been there too. It’s just too easy to forget. Or not remember :)

I challenge you is to try a better way. Heck, if you don’t think the Woodworking4Home is worth it… tell them too give you your money back. They guarantee it – see below:

Here is the quote from the developer John Metz:
“I want to prove everything I claim to you. Download Woodworking4home right now and keep it for a full 60 days. If it isn’t everything I’ve said, I do not want your money. Simply send a quick e-mail, and you’ll get every penny back – NO questions asked. Heck, I’ll even let you keep all the bonuses – on the house!”

And John Metz depends on his reputation as a master craftsman… he’ll keep that promise! (but he hasn’t had to many times… you’ll see)
