    Above 1200 Sq/FT Lost Cause Garage | 30x48 Rover Shop in Iowa

    Another glutton for the British punishment. Mainly Land Rovers around here anymore but we ran sales/service shop of Euro autos for 15 years. Cutting back and slowing down to go back to enjoying cars again so this will be kind of a fun place for me compared to the repair shop. Also, I've been...

    Above 1200 Sq/FT Lost Cause Garage | 30x48 Rover Shop in Iowa

    Looking at something along these lines for the building. 30x48 with 16' eave. One 12x12 door near the left side as that will work with the driveway slope best.

    So on with the property. I have a unique but very limestone and hilly property. Was a former architects home so has some quirks and needs some attention but the shop is priority at the moment, house improvements later. Not much flat land anywhere near the house. Being I'm somewhat on a time...

    Above 1200 Sq/FT Lost Cause Garage | 30x48 Rover Shop in Iowa

    Started down the road of putting up a 30x48 on my property in Iowa that will be my little Land Rover/Car building haven. So I figured I would start a thread to track the progress. Everyone likes pictures so here is a little background on the current situation. We are in the process of selling...
