So I’m embarking on a new house build. The plan is to build our home with two garages, both attached. The main garage is a fairly standard 2.5 car garage, with a plan of a field addition third garage bay on the other side of the house. The third garage bay is where the cross your fingers part...

Anyone out there live on a lot with a high water table? I am considering a new build. A house is going up next door, and the homeowner (we've become acquaintances) mentioned that they were not able to pour the basement slab (they've done the footings and basement walls--and are now almost...

This is not exactly garage related, but here's the situation. We have a brick walkway right outside our garage which was in pretty poor shape. We had a mason pull up all the bricks, re-grade it and dry lay the bricks again. I'm happy with the result, with one exception. At the end of the...

So I'm looking to build a shed--to keep my garage filled with real garage-y stuff and not the lawnmower, trimmer, etc. The footprint of area that I'd like to place the shed overhangs the driveway by about 10 sq ft. I want to remove the asphalt section to prep the foundation, but I also want...

Hi--newbie here. While I'm new to GJ, I'm active on other forums so I know the general drill. I've tried to do as much self-service with the search function and find an answer to my question, but I just can't find it--hopefully I didn't miss anything obvious. I've just moved to my first...
