Hi everyone! New member here from Mississippi. I bought 4.5 acres last fall in a nice neighborhood and the home has been under construction since November. I didn't think I'd be able to squeeze in a garage at the same time but It's a go so now I've gotta settle on a final design.
I'll be using this to house any toys as well as doubling as a workshop. I like to do my own maintenance, etc. As far as size I'm thinking 36Wx32D with 12ft walls so I can fit 10ft tall doors. I'm thinking one 10ft wide and one 16ft wide. 10ft tall doors aren't needed for me right now but I figured if I ever decided to get a boat I could make it fit without much of an issue. The walls will be finished sheetrock. I'm gonna leave the floor alone because I'll probably put down race deck or a similar covering. I plan on putting in a toilet and sink as well as stairs that lead to a bonus/storage room. The exterior will need to match the house so it'll be a mixture of brick and fiber cement siding.
This is a quick little sketch I came up with, thoughts? Stairs and bathroom missing but it's a general idea. I think it'll match the house pretty well like this
The house will look pretty close to this once it's complete, I'm using brick instead of Hardie and stone except for the gables above the front porch which will still be fiber cement siding.
A picture of the lot, I marked the house location and my proposed garage spot.
Here's a couple pictures from the road.
