Thanks! Ill try and include more comparison shots. We have a bunch of designer chairs that I have collected over the years. At least now Ill have a place to show them off :) Went by the house this past weekend to measure everything up to see if it matches the drawings. Everything seems well...

The neighbours to the left (brick house) came back from a vacation and were shocked to see that the framing progress that quickly. They have the plans we submitted to the city for variances so they knew the extent of the reno. The white house is a rental property which has changed owners a few...

Thanks! Some more progress was made this past week. Most of the framing has been completed and the roof is being put on this week. Its nice having a house which is visible as you drive down the street. It was set so far back before. This is from the Rear spare bedroom looking towards...

Kind of but I would like to see how the car fits in the space first. The floor is being poured to exceed the specifications required for Maxjax. I am quite over rolling around on the ground under my car. I have an idea of some light industrial racking I would want on the front wall for a...

The more traditional kitchen was drawn up by the builder which we didnt like. everything in the house will be done in a more modern / contemporary style. Its been a few weeks since the last update but things have been moving along quite quickly this past week. Framing had started last monday...

Stopped by the house (very loose term at this point) and they had poured all the footings as well as completed the cinder block wall for the addition. Big news everyone!! we have the beginnings of a garage :)

We were shooting for then too but with all the stalls with the house project we decided to just go for it. There are so many automotive things to see and do there, we can see so many automotive icons just walking down the street! my wife and I both do design, she is the sketchup master as...

So long time no update, the wheels of the city work so slow. It was going so slowly that my wife and a couple of friends did an impromptu trip to Japan. Which was incredible. We played mario kart on the streets Rented some japanese icons and toured around Hakone And just had an amazing...

So things are slowly rolling along. we got our zoning certificate this past week. Which means we can (finally) submit for a building permit. Here is the current floor plan. The house is very cramped and divided by a long skinny hallway. The bathroom across from the kitchen table is not ideal...

These are all valid concerns and it is for reasons like this that we are working with a very well renowned builder in our area who has done a few projects like this. Our situation is a little different because our house (even at the height of the new addition) is well sheltered by the...

Quick question as I have never owned a garage before. Is there anything you wished you had added to your build? As stated, the garage will be a roughly (14.5' W x 20"L) Ideally I would eventually like to put some MaxJax in so the slab would need to be poured accordingly. We will be adding...

Hey Brian I think we are leaning towards shingle roofing. I would like metal but it depends on the cost. We originally had the slope going the other way but decided to change it to the side with the most setback from the property line. Thanks, My wife did the sketchup (I do all my 3d work...

Hey Thanks, It is quite the big undertaking and by no means cheap. But when compared to properties in the area and how much the value of our property has increased in the past 5 years it does make the most financial sense. Luckily for us, my inlaws live about 40 minutes away and we will be...

Thanks! I bought it from a friend who was moving across the country and couldnt take it with him. It was Type-M spec but has been upgraded with many period parts. TommyKaira wheels and aero. Nismo interior bits, Recaro seats. The motor is a standard RB20det but with a 25 neo turbo and Mines...

Hi All, I joined the Forums to share and document the upcoming renovation of our property which will finally include a garage. So a little backstory, My then Girlfriend (now wife) both graduated college around 2010-2011 and had been renting a condo in Toronto. Both of us started working in...

My Shiba Inu, although not a garage dog (we dont have one yet) she loves riding shotgun and hanging out in the driveway

Hey Rudi, Just joined this forum this morning as I too will be documenting my new home/ garage renovation shortly (and by that i mean home for my Nissan :lol: ) Here it is: 1993 Skyline GTS-T (with the little house in the background) 20160904_112554_HDR by Jordie Lewis, on Flickr Anyways...
