^^^^ Fantastic!!! Wow this is really looking great! Lots of room under that roof! Would love to see a picture when you fill it up! Any wash stations, lifts, or maintenance equipment going in it?

There will not be much mechanical or washing work going on in here. This building is mostly storage and display. Almost all of the work my cars get is at the dealer or professional mechanics. For lite maintenance or anything that absolutely needs a local repair, I'll have one Bendpack lift in a bay with an air compressor, welder and tools plus a detail bay with hot water pressure washer, de-mineralizer for rinse water and a bay where the tow rig and the 30' enclosed trailer live.
There are three electric car chargers, a motor home connection, lighting that puts 130 lumens everywhere, lots of display area, killer tunes and an exceptional Grand Piano in the mezzanine.

It will do in a pinch!
Wow! What’s not to love!!!!!! I’m digging the way you roll👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙌🏻👏🏻! Keep up the great work and please keep the updates and photos coming!
Love the R33 - I had a V-Spec back in the early 2000's when they were an unknown and only about $50K (a 930 was $75-90K back then)

My garage and my wifes.
I have the mezzanine storage area for all my extra wheel sets and some parts. I have the electric hoist on a trolley beam to make it easy to bring them up and down.
The floor buckled in the front of the garage unfortunately when the garage door was left open in the hot sun. I dont know if I didnt leave enough room on the outside edges for expansion (I thought I had) or if its because the lifts are bolted down and those tiles cant expand freely. Aside from that I really like the floor. I will probably replace the ones that buckled and see what happens.
The PVC tile in my wifes is decent but it stains from the tires even though I put a clear coat over them.
Wifes garage also houses the kids cars and the bikes. (I used to have a lift in that garage and I kept 1 of her cars and 2 of mine in there before I added the second garage)

I have seen tile floors buckle before and, recently in a friends garage.
Really thinking about making the vast majority of my garage the "Life Proof" product and Race deck under the lift and in the wash bays.
Race Deck can be noisy and also buckles over large stretches.
Almost ready to pour 6" of concrete!
Place looks too small...
I have to keep telling myself that it is just for storing some cars...
So 6" of concrete gets poured over styrofoam and it won't sink on the soft surface? I'm guessing this is for insulation, but not familiar with foam under concrete here in SoCal.
This building is a heavily insulated envelope construction because it is in a northern climate that can see as cold as -40 degrees. Therefore, it has insulated foundations over 4 feet into the ground, insulated floors and 3 zone in-floor gas boiler heat. Also has a back up gas furnace, 20KW back up power generator and 4 mini splits for the AC requirements. Total wall thickness is 14 inches... Floor is minimum 6" with some areas 14" to support the load bearing walls of the Mezzanine.
