Do you think there would be any different outcome or response if it had been just the standard set from Costco? I want a corner setup, but ma just buy the large pro set from Costco and order the corner pieces separate.

Decided to skip bathroom. I still need to discuss the cost of running drain line to septic for a sink.

This stuff is definitely over my head a bit. I appreciate the input and I like to know all my options….”good, better and best” and then I Can decide which one to go with once I discuss with electrician.

200 amp service. I “think” we have plenty of room / amp wise for the detached garage. Waiting to meet with electrician for site visit as well. We have ~2 ton Ac, electric water heater, stove and washer/dryer in apartment and not much else. We have 3.5 ton Ac, water heater, electric washer...

The garage has the most empty spots, 17. Just a in law suite above garage.

Updates: Going with 2x6 framing. Raising ceiling height so the roof line matches the house, which will make eventual covered walkway easier. Ceiling will be between 11-12’ depending on grade we start with. This will change all doors to 9’ tall. Adding a 20’ deep, covered pad on the back for...

I appreciate the input, but moving is not an option at all. Land has been in the family for 100 plus years. Are you saying a cost issue? Or because I have too many questions?

This is definitely a forever home. We are mortgage free and never moving. I hadn’t really thought about a lift. Is there a lift that would be able to do minor things on vehicles and lift the John Deere gator or mower for maintenance as well?

I updated the title. We are in NW Georgia, Bartow county so not a lot of prolonged freezing temps. The area we have to work with will need some minor grading to divert water around the garage and bury all the downspouts to drain beyond the new driveway. Good to know about the rock. May need 8”...

Great idea. I forgot about water and may consider a small electric tankless heater! I might consider lengthening to add room for bathroom / toilet. I thought about the scissor trusses, but only real work I would do would be on the mower or gator. I’m not handy enough to start lifting the truck.

We are getting close to finalizing our plan for our garage build and any advice is very much appreciated. It will be used for a JD 3 series tractor, wife's 4runner, my truck, general storage and workshop area in back corner. We are working with online company and making some adjustments to a...

I too saw the costco sets, and have started to research. I just sent an email for their design consultation. We are in the planning stages of a 33x44 detached garage. I want to plan out the interior storage and placement of cabinets and then decide on placement of the windows and door. I'd hate...

Main reason for searching the online plans is to find something that resembles or closely matches the house. We have a front brick and 3 sided vinyl siding house, but will redo the house to hardiplank in the near future. I don't plan to do brick on the garage, but will use hardi plank so the...

Hello From NW Georgia. We are starting the process of building a detached garage for the tractor, gator, mower and truck. We have plenty of space, but trying to process all the options and best practices. Has anyone used any of the online "garage plan" websites for ideas or build from those...
