Heres a set of 30" ones that I found at do it best website..... http://doitbest.com/DoItBest/Main.aspx?PageID=64&SKU=166790

Huh, I hadnt thought about it that way. I may could build like a 26x32 garage, and then do like a 26x26 apartment on top. I just hadnt been able to grasp what you guys were saying. I may see about that. I would have to have a little more wall length upstairs, and the floor trusses, would that be...

Well, From my perspective...I cant really see how doing a 2-story could be cheaper than what i've got in mind. I mean, I would have to buy floor trusses like if I did a plan like shown above. Then I would have to build a second complete exterior framing walls, not counting having to run the...

Hey, Nice to see another tennessean...haha. Well, The garage is pretty well the size I want...so thats why I thought about stopping the slab at the apartment section, then have a row of block(whatever height it has to be for my lot) and put floor trusses there. I'm not really sure how much...

Oh yeah guys....What/if any are some good cheaper alternatives to wall coverings? I know OSB is the standard for the base sheeting outside, but as far as outer covering? Is vinyl siding on the exterior pretty well the cheapest route? I've seen some of you guys interior walls covered in...

Yeah, I wouldnt mind to do a 2-story deal, but That would be quite a bit more money. Im wanting to build this thing for around 25K-30K max. Now, If I can get it in the dry, I think I could do alot of work on the interior myself. Plus, where I build it...I wont be that far from where im living...

I'm also wondering about what kind of HVAC unit I would need? I'm not really worried about heating/cooling the garage right now, but I will need it for the apartment...so would that be something that would be best done now, instead of just doing something smaller for the apartment, then having...

No, I was meaning like stop the concrete at the apartment half on the end so the concrete slab would only be 32x26 for the garage, then just do the apartment section like a regular house with a crawlspace, that way I could run regular heat duct under the apartment instead of overhead ductwork...

Haha, I fixed it. Sorry about that.

Hi guys, I am new to the site and I am from East TN. I am 21yrs old and my incomes leaves alot to be desired...haha, but i'm trying to plan a garage/apartment type deal that I could build relativly cheap now, and later on down the road ...add to or build an adjacent house to it. I have drew up...
