Thought I would post some pictures of what will soon be my former place. This is what the place looked like when I bought it in 2008: This is what it looks like now: And the inside: Some specs: Exterior Dimensions are 28'x25' Walls are ~12' from floor to top plate. Ceiling is a 4/12...

What did you use for the roofing and siding? I love those colors.

Thanks! I played with Clopay's tool and I was wondering how accurate it was. The tool seems to show the raised panels stretched out with only small space between the panels across the width of a 10' wide door. From your pictures it looks like that is not accurate and they instead left a...

Do you have any information on the garage door (make & model)?

Nice doors guys! Thanks for the pictures. Does anyone have one that is kind of a split between the full carriage style you guys showed and the raised panel version (i.e. no overlays)? I guess my question is would a 10' wide raised panel have 4 or 5 panels across? You kind of need an even...

Anyone have pictures of there garage with 10' wide carriage style garage doors? I'm looking at door options and I really like this style but I'm afraid it will look funny when stretched to 10' wide.

Timing is not working out as I would like. We are just finishing the foundation work now and the cold weather has arrived. I'm going to continue with framing but I'm wondering what I should do with the roof. This garage is attached to the house and part of the project is to add dormers to the...

Yep that the area we are talking about. It is short. If you account for the trim boards on both sides the valley is about a 12" long Is something like this standard or is it likely to be a problem and I should make an extra effort to get around it?

Adding a garage to the house. The garage and house roofs are about the same height and pitch in the same direction but the garage is set back from the front of the house. That creates a small flat valley where the two intersect. Is this going to be a problem? Do they make a special flashing...

Do you have a link? They list this one as discontinued.

The town wont let me build bigger then 25x25. So I know I will need a way of storing a car on a lift. I've looked at the 4 post lifts but I dont like that I will have two posts in the middle of the floor I would need to work around even with the car up and out of the way. I see they make one...

It will be a cathedral ceiling and I want the doors to follow the slope as close as possible.

Would you design a garage with an 11' wide garage door? I am running into an issue with the size of the garage i want to build. I wanted to build a 32' wide garage with three 9' wide doors. Well now it looks like the most I can possibly go is 27' wide and may have to cut back to 26' wide...

The building is a shed and the doors are on the other side so no need to connect it to the driveway. Your plan is very similar to what i started with but turns out its too much area. I would be using the garage attached to the house to park the daily driver. But I would need to clear the...

That is the problem. Running up against the maximum lot coverage number and I have a few more developments I want to make in a few years. I already need a variance the way it is. I figure the least amount of variances I need the higher the likelihood of getting a variance. Water run off his...
