Day 1 of framing! This is so cool to see come to life. Admittedly, this is bigger than I had imagined and planned for. Hats off to these guys who work like a symphony - very little to waste, each person has a job of their own.
While thinking about the space I took a free class to learn Fusion 360 modeling software on Youtube. Highly recommend! I'm sure it's not the best software for this kind of stuff, but it worked for me to get a visual of the space. These were the renders that the architect used to draw up the plans.
The patio/grill area will be a gable design rather than what I have here. This cross section also shows the massive amount of storage space I'll have above the parking area.
Nope, you're right in the thick of the updates!
Yes, the existing garage was torn down to build this one almost from scratch (excluding existing slab).
Progress is continuing! Framing has passed inspection and roofing should be installed this week. Next will be electrical, insulation, and OSB for interior walls. I cleaned up the garage and test fit my vehicles to get an idea of space. The S3 Cabrio clone is still with me and I recently picked up a 2019 Audi A4 Allroad prestige. The allroad is parking 2 feet inside the garage while the cabrio's **** is right on the garage door line. Plenty of space for my future tool bench and the maxjax lift. I'm also really glad to have the flat floor so that i can park the cabrio close to the left side.
