Anyone have pictures of there garage with 10' wide carriage style garage doors? I'm looking at door options and I really like this style but I'm afraid it will look funny when stretched to 10' wide.

Timing is not working out as I would like. We are just finishing the foundation work now and the cold weather has arrived. I'm going to continue with framing but I'm wondering what I should do with the roof. This garage is attached to the house and part of the project is to add dormers to the...

Adding a garage to the house. The garage and house roofs are about the same height and pitch in the same direction but the garage is set back from the front of the house. That creates a small flat valley where the two intersect. Is this going to be a problem? Do they make a special flashing...

The town wont let me build bigger then 25x25. So I know I will need a way of storing a car on a lift. I've looked at the 4 post lifts but I dont like that I will have two posts in the middle of the floor I would need to work around even with the car up and out of the way. I see they make one...

Would you design a garage with an 11' wide garage door? I am running into an issue with the size of the garage i want to build. I wanted to build a 32' wide garage with three 9' wide doors. Well now it looks like the most I can possibly go is 27' wide and may have to cut back to 26' wide...

Well I came home today to hear my CO detectors beeping their end of life warning. So I started looking into replacing them when I realized that I should probably replace the smoke detectors as well. I have a few related questions maybe you guys can help with. 1. Wired, Wireless, or...

Does the garage look too big compared to the house or the property? Its a 32'x28' with 11'6"x7' doors ~20' tall. If cost and fit didn't matter this is what I would build. That is quite a bit larger then the main portion of the house. I think with this size door and overall width I can...

I ordered a composite door frame for my exterior basement door. I picked it up today and it said composite but now that I have it home and am taking a closer look, it looks like it may be wood. Of course the lumber supply is already closed for the weekend and I would like to install it if it...

Maybe this isn't directly garage related but Ive got my workshop in the basement currently. The exterior walls are insulated with 2" rigid insulation board up to grade level. I'd like to finish this off up to the sill plate with more 2" rigid insulation. The problem is how to cover it? If I...

I have been drawing up a few concepts of what I wanted my garage to look like. Basically a 32'x28' using scissor trusses over the lift area and attic storage trusses over the rest. The only thing I was thinking was going to 12' wide doors to make it easier to fit 3 cars in there side by...
