Nice work. Those half round windows really date a house now. Every builder used them back in the 90'-00's.

Finally got around to getting this thing up on the ceilling. Nice to have a little more floor and wall space now.

Agree on all three points. The auto court is small, but we have limitations on the "footprint" size of the house and paved areas relative to the size of the lot per the city. I will push for an overhead garage door type entry for the workshop--It would make it easier to bring chairs and...

You bet, just updated. We live in Columbus, Ohio.

Thanks, good point. I'll be sure to ask the contractor about it at the next meeting. I was thinking about using a minisplit for AC since the garage and workshop won't be used every day. I'll be sure to check the Heating & AC and Electrical sections of the forum, too.

My wife has talked me into building our "forever" home. My part of the deal is that I get a bigger garage. Our space requirements for the house vs. our lot size and limitations resulted in the architect compromising to get us four parking stalls. The larger space will be the area that I...

A ha! Thanks. I've got some googling to do.

Yes, sorry. Left side.

I consider myself a pretty good car spotter, but I can't place the model of the Mitsubishi on the right hand side of the garage by the GT40. What is it?

Use it to your advantage. If you're giving directions to a delivery person or friends, just say, "We're next to the house with the giant purple garage."

I may be in the minority, but I like my gladiator stuff. I bought the welded steel 30 inch cabinets from Gladiator when they had a clearance this summer and I've picked up 5 RTA cabinets, two workbenches, two welded floor chests and two tool chests from HD and Sears Outlets as they've gone on...

Great job with the floors! Probably a very stupid question, but please humor this midwesterner... what's a "casita"? Is it like a mother-in-law suite or an attached rental property?

Cardpool typically takes 10-15 minutes for me. Giftcardzen.com is usually very fast--maybe 2-3 minutes, but they don't have nearly as many cards available. Giftcardgranny.com (no, seriously--that's the name) is pretty useful as an aggregator of various giftcard websites.

We are have Amazon Prime and get several household and kids items (diapers and wipes) delivered monthly through Subscribe and Save. We use the Prime video streaming service quite a bit, though my wife won't let me cancel our cable yet. Also, our local library uses the Kindle service to let you...

Wow! You have really maximized your space. I'll bet there are people with half the stuff you have in their garages (like my neighbors) and they can't even pull their cars inside.
