Sprites, Croleys, Etc. Little cars will make the garage feel gigantic. Nice work, enjoy it. That’s the problem I only have large cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother and myself made a decision years ago to start collecting motorcycles. We both had a strong interest in antique motorsports and figure motorcycles would take up less space than cars! In no time we had 3 garages full! The equal number of cars would have been a small warehouse. Looks like you should be moving in to your new garage this weekend. Have fun! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 If it were my garage, I would have fire code sheet rock on the walls and celling! I would then install the wireing and air lines on the wall where they would be accessible for future access. There is always a chance of a small fire while cleaning or small gas drip that could be easily extinguished if there is no wood exposed Without sheet rock, the fire dept. would not arrive before the structural parts would have to be replaced. With sheet rock, a quick coat of paint could be all you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC38dls Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Nice job, interesting to watch the build from start to finish. Looks great and was done so quickly. Even the clean up went well, something that is often overlooked. Enjoy working in it! dave s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His comment, "THAT'S WHY I HAVE INSURANCE" Well, when the fire came, he was without a garage for 6 months, all while fighting with the insurance company. It took him over a year to settle for less than the repairs cost. HE HAD TO SELL ONE OF HIS CARS TO PAY FOR IT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if insurance savings might pay for the sheet rock in a few years.

It took him over a year to settle for less than the repairs cost. HE HAD TO SELL ONE OF HIS CARS TO PAY FOR IT. I dealt with 1/4 of my house being flooded out last year and insurance. After eight months of being out of the house, I just hired legal to deal with it. Solved within a week a $14k payout for $80k in damage and magically they paid $80+ after legal got involved within a week. moral of the story just hire a public adjuster or attorney right off the bat. it also depends what kind of coverage I have guaranteed replacement plus which costs more (this doesn’t have a depreciation clause). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
