Started construction Friday on the garage pod!
I had forgotten how quick you can get a structure formed with steel after the pain of working with wood. Tack, tack, 20 seconds later you need a sledgehammer to break it apart.
Here in about a day we went from a pile of steel to a fully tack welded base frame for the garage pod, completely level and diagonals matching to within 1/64".
We decided to make the garage pod 10 feet long instead of 11 feet. This way it will only overhang the flatbed by 1 foot which should be visually and structurally reasonable (and save weight). It is going to have a full ramp rear door and a passenger side teardrop trailer type mini door (for occasional access when you don't want to lower the ramp). We are also making the garage pod 1 foot shorter in height than the camper pod and will have a roof rack for kayaks and such on the garage pod.
