For sure, that's why I'm taking my time with this. Unfortunately the gentleman liked to do things his way and it's been a process unwinding that stuff but it's worth it to have it be correct.

It is an outdated panel without enough room and the entire house is electric. It's just not enough amperage since the HVAC unit was converted to be fully electric instead of the original 1970s era propane systems. I've been going through everything starting fresh bringing it up to today's...

Took me just about 5 years but have been in my house for a year and a half now. 24x32 with 8 ft ceiling shop. Carport attached to the house, and a basement garage which gives me nice bonus space . Currently stores my mower and what not until I build a nice large shed in a few years. It's Funny...

That's exactly what I have learned. The buildings seem like less of the issue and it's more of the installers.

Thank you! That is what I have found as well. That is a good point and will likely do that.

Hey Andy - very cool to see some local members! The sketchy nature of the crews is one fear I have. I still have a little ways before I could realistically pull the trigger but these discussions are why I want to continue my research now. Heck, if I found a house with a nice shop out back...

That's about what I expected, thank you! Based on what my needs will be, I agree completely with you. I would like 11-12' tall just due to wanting a lift, but even so they are affordable. I totally understand if you prefer not to share, but any insight on your cost to have your garage built...

Thanks for the info. I have heard of and done some research of the Versa Tube garages. I've actually read many of your posts over the past few years ironically doing my research. What are your thoughts on going that route? Are they something a person who is fairly handy, but not a builder...

Thank you for the reply. I have found that as well, but most everything I would do would be free standing. I would want to frame out a room or two and I would design my work bench area to be free standing. That sort of thing is not an issue for my needs. That could be an issue for other people...

Good Morning GJ, Been a lurker here for quite some time and there are some amazing garages. I will be looking at buying my first home in the next year or so and I have been trying to figure out some options. Living in NC (most of life was spent in MA), I have way more options for buying a...

Thanks for the insight guys, but in my recent posts, my situation completely changed. I live in NC now and have an apartment with a garage and with the real estate down here, a garage/shop is no longer an issue since they're everywhere haha. Enjoying my new found freedom and in time, I'm sure...

Figured I'd update this... I have an apartment with a garage here in NC. Pretty amazing and it fits my truck! Approximately 12' Wide x 21' Long with 10' Walls. May get a Quick Jack lift next year haha. Make some little jobs easier when I have to do tire rotations, and brakes etc. My daily...

I always wanted to move south and I will be moving to North Carolina in a few months. Life has a weird way of working out. I've had on my eye on that state for years and visisted a bunch really scoping it out. Keeping my New England job so setting myself up for a nice house and a garage will...

Thanks all, I appreciate the input. I would like as much property as possible, but as Fastfish said, it's a tough market here in MA. Most decent homes near me (around Gillette Stadium - Patriots) are nearly $250-300k for a decent house. Most have very little land. I'm not one to rush this...

Hi all, Been a lurker here for years and there are some amazing garages here! I am saving for my first home and I realistically would be looking in 2019. I live in Massachusetts and have an idea that I'm curious about. Someday I would like to have a Morton 40x60 pole barn but know that is...
