Interested to see it progress. I built a 31x26 garage with second story apartment, semi-attached over the past few years. Comparatively I would say most was subbed out, only really wiring and finish work done by me. Everything is expensive now. Not sure what your budget is, but plan and be...

If he is getting what it is listed for I would sell too. From the posts above I think he has way less sunk into the container house and will walk away with a tidy sum, as long as he is not reinvesting in the same overpriced market.

No details? Where are you located? Kind of sounds like this was done by contractor, what kind of cost for turn key? If not, do you have more pictures and details of construction? Building a similar sized structure now, 27x32. Taking quite a bit longer than I hoped, but may post details when...

With mini-split systems now you can have one condenser unit outside with multiple indoor units. Would probably work well for a small area like a carriage house too.

No, you will need to wire a dedicated 240V outlet from your panel.

You are not installing in a location where noise is an issue. Fans are typically designed to be most efficient (CFM/watt) at or near full speed. Running lower speeds is not worth it, and instead just let the controller turn them on/off as needed.

Which is overkill unless you just enjoy spending the time on the project. There are very cheap thermostatic relays/controllers available that are ready to go. (e.g. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OXPE8U6/?tag=atomicindus08-20)

Yes, NW of San Antonio for me. Mine is a little smaller at 31x27 and has exterior stairs, but the living space is about the same as my saltbox style roof does not start from the garage. Was already toying with the idea of the lean-to carport on the side like you have added there. It may be some...

Following for the first time as well. What is the size of the structure? Any drawings? I am in the Hill country and building a pretty similar garage right now. Salt box roof (although not as extreme as yours) with a living area above. Framing will start this week. I will share when the project...

Just starting on my garage apartment and thought about this, but I don't think it will work for my setup. However I am a little worried about how it will look, as it is quite tall and imposing. The drawings look good, but I think it could be a little overwhelming once complete. How tall is...

Not to get too of topic but I'd be careful. I'm sure your HOA restrictions alone don't allow some of the activities, but it seems fairly evident you are running a business out of your residence which is likely not legal from a local zoning standpoint. Anyways, great work and love the functional...

Fun. I'll take some inside pictures over the holiday break. Attached is a picture from when we moved in a little over a year ago. I'm 28 now.
