    Garage build on adjoining lot - expand existing residence or separate?

    One thing to consider is re-sale. I built two really nice houses on over 100 acre lot. It was well taken care of with remote garage as well as over sized three car. After 5 years of dual residences we ended up auction off the netted around 60 cents on the dollar. PLUS (with the expense of...

    Build Detached Garage or Buy Commercial Building?

    I Have a 36' X 48' at home that has a small apartment. It has heat and A/C. When I built it I could not imagine needing more.

    3 or 4 car garage??

    I agree with the 18' wide NOT 16', I specified 18' on the first 2 houses that I had built, got sloppy and did not think too well and let the builder spec 16X8. I daily regret it. My favorite would be 10X8 three across. I did 26' another mistake. Every thing I did was wrong. Race garage...

    Propane vs Nat Gas - Costs and Usage

    recommend heater or heat + ac for 3 car attached

    I have a similar 3 Plus car attached that does have an insulated ceiling. I use a Mini Split also and it works well to temper the garage. I think the cost is somewhere in the $2K range for the hardware. Paul
