This is what I am doing as well. 2" Extruded with seams taped. From my research this was the most common. 2nd choice would be studs with faced insulation, facer towards the basement as someone above mentioned.

Install tar paper. Put drip edge at eave of roof with foam closure. Install corrugated roofing. Install Rake flashing on remaining 3 side. Looks like an outside miter. Gets fastened through the roof and then into the fascia. Rubber you could glue directly to plywood and return down the...

I used Shirk at my last house. No complaints and they were the best price. I have several friends who all used them as well and no issues.

Look for a pole building supplier in your area. Get the cheap corrugated metal roofing ran to the length you need.

Try what Skooter said or make a L with a hem on either side for stiffness. Maybe 1"-1.5" high on the face of panel and then make the return the depth of the corrugation. Pop rivet or fasteners through the L into the face of the corrugated panel. You could also get fancy and remove some stone...

Any Hitemp ice and water shield around the perimeter. Synthetic underlayment can be used on the rest. Don’t use felt.

I would be concerned about the paint coating on the existing shingles peeling and then the peel and stick roofing becoming delaminated. If you power wash that roof really well, will the coating come off leaving the original paint/finish. If so then I would think you could install the peel and...

Scag Freedom Z 52". Use on my 3acres. Great high end residential/low end commercial mower. If your yard is hilly it holds awesome. If you bag I would step up to the Patriot so you can get a powered bagger. Or even better a Exmark Radius E. There bagger system is the best.

https://www.reedysmulchproducts.com/?page=calculator I always use this when doing things around my house. Usually gets me close. That is a local supplier for me.

The foundation/lower level walls and concrete floor would be contracted out. I would possibly look into the framing and exterior finishes as DIY. I am in commercial roofing though and have pretty many hookups for local GCs along with being in Amish country I might possibly just hire it out...

My land is unfortunately all sloped. I really wanted the detached garage at the bottom of my driveway so I could back in trailers or pull my vehicles into it. If I dig down and enter from the bottom it sort of defeats the purpose and would be more for just storage. If I was building on a flat...

I pulled 2 permits at my last house. The 1st permit was for a kitchen addition/remodel. This included electric and the building addition. I did all the drawings myself and submitted for permit. They came back with a few clarifications as well as who was doing the work. I told them at that...

Thank you everyone for your replies. I will have to get pricing to see the difference between adding the basement and keeping it all (1) one floor. A lift would never be added. I am planning to keep a small camper in it though so that does add some weight.

You built almost exactly what I’m looking to just slightly smaller. How is it holding up?

Looking to build a 32x32 detached garage. Has anyone built on a hillside and designed it for access to the basement along with parking cars/campers on the main floor. My yard is decently sloped. The foundation wall/slab would be approx 13’ from grade on the low side of the slope. This would...
