Check out any building/interior salvage warehouses in your area. Here, near Kansas City, I found 100's of Pro Maxx garage poducts for sale at a fraction of the list price, still in the boxes. They toss all the heavily damaged parts, so you may get something with some slight dents or scratches...

If you think that you may someday have a need to trailer a car, you may want at least one 9' wide door, for trailer storage or even boat & trailer storage.

I can tell Bib Overalls has done this before. Add several cable TV jacks, for both TV and Computer. I would think about a security cam inside the garage to keep an eye on activities ( safety and security) from the house, (even if you don't wire it in now, you would be able to later). Maybe...

If the doors would swing out, you may have a large problem after any snow or ice storms.

You have received a lot of good advice here. But I would suggest re-filling the hole with 4" minus or shot rock with a high percentage of fines. Compact the rock as the hole is filling up. Clean rock or shot rock will leave many voids, just what you don't want. This next item may be dreaming...

I agree with rsanter, Go two wide and two deep, with an extra small section for mowers and that stuff.

How about a double wide door off to one side?

Are you planning on leaving the Willys outside? Why not park it at the deep end of the left side, giving you access to work on it. Workshop in the center third, close to your project, and for normal maintenance projects in the two right stalls. And front left (by the door) an arcade with a...

Hey 87 GN, Nice car. Is this your only garage? Or is it a detached garage and you have an attached garage that you use for daily use. Do you park your daily drivers outside, and plan to continue? Do you plan on living there for many years, or soon moving on? All these ideas have merit...

If you are planning on blowing insulation into your ceiling, be sure to purchase a good respirator. Goggles / face mask is also a good idea.

I understand about making your garages a fortress, but wouldn't a security lighting system with motion detectors be very effective if it was high in the air(untouchable). You could even set up a couple security cameras, and a monitor or two in the house. And for detached garages or second home...

I don't mean to upset anyone, but my bug man said the brown recluse spider does not make a web. I had numerous spiders including the brown recluse in certain areas of my home. He sprayed around the edges of the rooms, but we caught many in spider traps. You need to be in the business to...

I have seen your situation before when the owner desired to replace/enlarge a home or shop, and it was not permitted by the local codes. Is it possible to build the new addition onto your present structure this year, and next year knock down the origional structure and replace with your desired...
