So, have an accepted offer on a raised ranch (not a split, but a raised ranch with a partial walkout basement) but it does NOT currently have a garage. Starting to visualize, for fun. 1. Oddly enough the basement behind the brown stained exterior wall, under the family room(which is completely...

Okay, so if you recall, crazy Techie used her highly recommended Burke bar to pop up (well, with help) 20k lbs of sandstone for a new to me patio. Now that the patio is in, I finally convinced my landscaper that we need to fill the low portion of my yard, and in order to do that, I need a mini...

Hi all... Now that the stone patio is laid, onto my next adventure. Needed a small (4x8) lean-to type shed for the basics (e.g. pushmower, a few garden tools). A neighbor is basically giving away his 6 year old shed (as long as I can move it). Assuming the worst, any ideas on how to reinforce...

I've been working with my landscaper to plan for an approx. 450 sq foot patio. The original plan was to use new TN crabapple sandstone (over a stone base). I happened upon an estate/salvage sale today and was able to scoop up over 600 square feet of 3'x 3' (yes feet) sandstone 'pavers' for a...

Hi all... I know moving a stick built garage can be done. I want to put an offer on a house with a detached 2 car c. 1920 brick garage. Garage in good shape. I wan to move it maybe 20 feet (10 feet nearer the house/10 feet closer to edge of drive). Can you move a brick garage like you can a...

Am interested in a house that is on a narrow lot. It ticks all the items on the must have list EXCEPT it only has a 1 car attached garage. And I have 3 cars. And the lot is not wide enough to add another bay to the side :wtf: I'm okay with having my DD in the driveway, but want my other cars...
