Building a snake pit

[TxCobra76]

As the title says I’m building a new snake pit. It’ll be a large single car heated/cooled garage with an attached 2 Car carport. I’ll have a bathroom and large utility closet in it also.

I built the pad myself. We just got the concrete poured Thursday.//uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171219/051aa0c8d6bcba80c4691f366876f0d7.jpg[/IMG
I’ll start framing this weekend.

Very cool.
Going to be pretty bad ass. What's up with the pink lumber? Is it a coating or something? I've never seen that before.

I could be wrong, but I think its fire protection coating.

Awesome, any idea the expected per sq costs in your market?

 

[Snagged]

Very awesome indeed. Good luck on the project.

Thanks all! I think the pink is just an identifier that their pre cut studs. Their 104 5/8” which makes a 9’ walls. As far as square feet price I’m not sure. I’ll do all the work less concrete and brick. I budgeted 30 thousand and that’s with lots of pad.

We almost got all the walls up. Wife had to make a material run as we added a window, so that slowed me down some.

Maybe I’m missing something, but especially since it’s going to be a heated/cooled garage wouldn’t you want the storage and bathroom doors on the inside so you don’t have to go outside to reach them?

Nice work wow!

 

[TxCobra76]

The bathroom and storage are for the pool we’re getting in the spring. There more for my wife than me. Plus I don’t want all the traffic around the Cobra.

Oh that makes sense. Looks like it will be awesome when done.

Didn’t get a whole lot done today. All the exterior walls are up and secured. Framed for a 10’x8’ garage door. We’ll finish interior walls tomorrow and start sheathing.

I’m waiting on trusses so kinda at a standstill now. I cut the brackets for the 6x6 cedar post today. Gotta get them powder coated.

I can't wait to see the finished garage. Sounds like it's going to be stellar.

When I saw the thread title, I thought for a second that it was a pit for real snakes. LOL.
