Re: 8ft to 10ft ceiling in 8 hours, $650 ?? creative use of the Ikea design center that's for sure. Awesome garage, and great turn around!

beautiful, the interior brick really caught my eye!

automotive window tint, buy the roll at an autoparts store. Like noted above, lights on at night, the peeping toms will still be able to see in.

My builder recently 'repaired' my garage floor for a low point 3' infront of the opening. I had about 3/4" of water and it was danagerous in the winter once snow melted off the car. They did a hack job filling it, but it is better. Not sure what product was used, but it has bonded well...

This is ugly. Shoddy workmanship happens everywhere and is such a headache for everyone involved. I would not accept that slab or anything less than a full re & re. Maybe lock it up and use as bargaining chip. Also, might be worthwhile putting up a no tresspassing sign at the primary access...

sweet ideas guys!

Well said. I don't know how long this driveway is, but at the quoted rate of 275 a load, it wouldnt be much more than 2.5loads. For the sake of $600, it is probably to your benefit that the driveway is there. I would prepare yourself to pay that, and use it as your bargaining chip to get the...
