    Carport into a garage

    Bumping this as its now time to close this in. Got a handful of quotes ranging from $4k to $9k to frame and finish it without garage doors. Got one guy (again recommended by same GC friend) that would do it all for $5k + materials which I would buy. That would include custom carriage...

    Carport into a garage

    No because I don't have any room on my property to build a 2 car garage. I have another parking spot up at the top in front of the house but I wouldn't do anything there other than maybe one of those shade sails to keep the tree **** of my girlfriends car.

    Carport into a garage

    Yeah hired it out and helped the guys here and there with the drains and getting rid of the dirt...total was $4k.

    Carport into a garage

    DMV means DC Maryland Virginia. Worth it to me even if I get water in there every so often. Hell I have another house with a detached garage at the top of a slope that gets water in it when it rains/snows but the trade off is worth it. I just make sure I don’t have anything on the floor that...

    Carport into a garage

    Columns go to the frost line so 30" or so down. There are two supporting piers inside the garage that I think only go down 16" but I can deal with that. The width between the columns is 10.5' so plenty wide enough to put in 8' x 7' doors. Have had a ton of contractors and masonry guys come...
