Frontloader/backhoe showed up the other day. Six hours later footers were dug and poured. This project will end up being 23 x 52. The garage will become my Hammond organ repair shop/show room. My shop will have about 920 sq/ft. Not quite as large as I'd like, but very workable. We will add...

Are those Vidmars? I've got one 8 drawer. Looking for another, a shorty. I'm jealous.

Demo started on the back porch today. No looking back now.

After almost a year of vascillating, we're moving ahead with our build. We're going to attach shop/garage/master suite to house. We've made several changes to the drawings, but it will still be the same basic layout. Thinking ahead, we're going to add a few things that would make the shop a very...

Here are the rest of the elevation drawings. Thanks for looking & feedback.

I'm attaching some new drawing pdf's & actual pics of driveway entrance on west side of house. Look forward to any feedback, ideas, etc. The b.2 revision pdf's are an option we might consider if we decide to not do full addition. Frankly, I don't really care for the trellis carport between the 2...

Here's a pic of the back of the house back in March when I tore down the old garage. This is a view from the south. As I said, narrow, long lot. The other is a screen capture of some prelim elevation drawings. I need to do some editing on the plans to delete some private info then I'll post the...

30 cubic yard dumpster. We got a lot of stuff besides the old garage in there.

Hi all. Been busy talking with several different builders & have come up with a plan similar to KENLUDE97's idea. I'll post some of the prelim drawings in a few days, along with some pics of existing house & back porch. We've lived in the house for 21 years. Wife's going to get the master...

:lol_hitti I'll be wearing you out w/pics.

Thanks for the responses. Yes, attaching the garage will not limit square footage. We hung a porch with shed roof on the back about 10 years ago, but I've come up with a concept to attach the garage because codes gave me the go ahead back then to actually turn it into a room if we wanted to...

The site is cleared out & we can drag the brush to the curb. The wife's got lots of extra dumpster room to clean out the basement. In the mean time, I'm poking around here getting lots of great ideas. One way to circumvent the 700 sq/ft limitation is to build attached to the house. It is...

Brand new here. Long story short, lost my biz during the flood in Nashville last May. I'm back up & running but looking ahead the next 10 years, it's reached a point where a shop at home is the better financial decision. Though I've just looked into local codes & found out 700 sq./ft is max I...
