Cool Amost done with the garage.

We just finished phase 2 of my 30' x 20' garage/gym this weekend.

18' x 20' garage
12' x 20' gym

You can see that I decided to keep the garage slab sloped so that the water will run off when I wash the cars.

I made the gym slab leveled.

It rarely rains hard enough here for the hill to bring down too much soil, but when it does, I have mud pit in my back yard...well a clat pit really.

I've talked to the property owners about taking a backhoe back there and clearing some of that soil to reduce run off.

If you take a look at the REAR pic, u'll notice the slab is raised about 8" off of the ground, I had a small ridge built the sides of foundation to prevent soil errosion.

I'll also be building a small retaing wall in the near future.

I bought 2 yards of gravel from a local pit yard.
$30 a yard

Its a good base for the concrete I'm gonna have poured later on.

It's my birth year Z, '81.

I'll be dropping a LT1/T56 into her pretty soon.
It will be a total swap, interior & all.
I have the N90's waiting to be refurbished.
