Have made a lot of progress over the last month... Foundation/Concrete Work (& drain pipes):

Went to go check on things today. Luckily its dried up, they have the forms setup and, rebar set ....sometimes tomorrow they should be pouring concrete

today, work was started. asphalt in my backward was ripped out and foundation whole dug.

Yes, my worse case scenario is to just "own it"...build so i can get my garage/shop space and to actually just paint the two 'sections' contracting colors to actually make them look like 2 separate buildings rather then trying to blend the two. I did a mock up in Paint the other day and it...

This is another idea i came up with on my own (modifying the original drawing the contractor did using MS Paint). This would get rid of the dormer section and blend the two more into one. Would need to change the pitch on the new roof to bring it below the max 15ft limit for my 'rear lot'.

The new addition should have an almost 11ft ceiling height and I am planning on stuffing a lift in there for at least storage of my cars. I have muscle/sports cars so should be fine as far as height goes. Then the plan is to use the old section to actually work on cars, etc. If I DO keep...

Hey guys, I posted the start to my build thread in the gallery section, which is just the sketches which we started to get the permits... Anyways, I just I would ask for some feedback on roof line, as what my contractor and I have "work" but I am not really a fan and would love ideas...

Well, the problem is the first 20 feet from my rear yard line i can only have a 15 ft high roof line. The current detached garage sits about 3 something feet away from the line (see the verticle line in the sketch below) I guess my alternative would be to cut down the ceiling height or...

Hello all! Just wanted to share my garage plans and build with everyone here and look forward to any advice, etc. My contractor and I just got permits from the city the other week for a 20x20 addition to an existing 20x26 detached garage already on my property. I have a corner lot with a...

Homerr, thank you so much this is a great idea...really like it. Will show to my contractor on Friday. If you want to pm me your firms info, maybe i can use you guys (if this type of build is something you do)

That is what I am thinking. I have my contractor coming and architect to have a look tomorrow, so will see what they say. May just have a nice 2 car garage w/ some hangout space and nice double doors :)

Yea the measurements i took were based off of the house in Vegas, so the actual house was built w/ only 8 inches between the two doors. Weird. I guess that is what you get for those track built/cheap homes in good ol LV (unless i measured wrong)

This all came up because I just need space to "store" my "collector cars" (if you could call them that).... I have three 3rd gen Pontiac Trans Ams (as well as some other cars) that I want to keep in there. I have another detached garage out back that I work on my cars and currently store...

Hi all! Been a lurker for years and love to see everyone's projects/get ideas! I'm planning a small house addition out back to squeeze in a garage. House is currently on a concrete slab and I have an un-used room in the back that's 10ft deep and 26 ft wide. Thinking I can just bring out...
