A friend/customer is doing most of the building. Got the footing poured yesterday! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The footing is dug!

It sure would make a good present and hopefully done before Christmas but who knows!

Building Permit in hand today so looks like we should start digging later in the week if all goes well!

Snofox thank you that's exactly what I've been trying to show the planner and builder. Ours will be on the opposite side but that's what I want. ������

also I think we may have a solution for rear door. I think im going to put a 6 panel french type solid door there instead of a garage door. Should get the job done and not eat up space opening to the outside.

Had thoughts of a switchback staircase right when you walk in the man door in middle of garage to enter front of attic area but worried about the size and space it will take up. On another not our permit is supposed to be ready today so things should be progressing shortly.

Yeah I planned on doing high rails very cLose to e ceiling with regular openers but may look at others as tall as the ceiling will be a regular opener won't really be in my way though since lift will be far behind it.

If my kids wouldn't be using it a lot I'd agree but with the need to push lift back it would need to be up anytime they want to take dirt bikes and anything out. Have a feeling that will get old quick.

No wouldn't have access to the door as it will be a 4 post lift. Because of a retaining wall in back if I want to drive an atv or similar out of it door needs to be as far left as possible. At about 7 ft off left wall the retaining wall starts and by 14ft it has almost 2 ft drop off.

Yep you are correct that's the plan biggest issue is I need the rear garage door as far left on back wall and stairs will be there. Need traditional 7/11 staircase rise and treads so trying to figure it out. Rough guess is up 6' then right 6' I can put the garage door about 7 feet off the wall...

The house is right behind me if I'm standing facing the garage on a slight angle

Pics of where I'm at currently and shows why it will be tough to do a side door.

Do you have pics of your stairs by chance or any interior pics?

The other thing is we are now thinking of the service door in front since left side will be into a small hill and right side won't have any walkway due to a retaing wall. Not a fan of the off center look but service door to front left makes most sense for electrical and stairs access. Otherwise...

I think that may be what I do a narrow door like simple roll up to fit motorcycles /atvs out of and be able to get a breeze through. No room behind to drive through its almost to the wood line in back. Wish I new how to do a good mockup to lay it out other than paper and pencil. I guess that's...

Yes the stairs are becoming my biggest challenge at this point. May try to move rear garage door prob 8x7 over from left corner to put stairs in left rear corner. Short run then landing turn 90 deg to run up back wall with rear garage door opening under the tall run of stairs.

Thanks appreciate the tips. I should have around 8' of inside headroom with 8/12 pitch on 30' wide will be 10' tall center of truss so ballpark I lose around 2' depending on final truss design to keep a uniform height longer I could go a bit less height I just want at least 7' minimum to be...

In the beginning phase of this and curious if anyone has done one similar for any tips or after thoughts. Will have 2 - 10' tall x 9' wide garage doors with 36" side entry man door. Plannng 12' walls to put a lift in with upstairs 16 x 36 loft/ apartment area. Will have an 8/12 roof so should...
