    My Garge Project

    I put a 16X12 on mine and [so far] I think it's fine. My size is very similar to yours. Consider what you will need it for, the weather in your area and site layout. Definately build it on paper first. My build: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=104571

I can't find any [free inventory]...

My concern was snow load and I wanted to make sure I had enough slope to shed the snow and keep the weight down I don't want clear it. I...

    Building from scratch

    Since I was a kid, I wanted a cabin in the woods. For the last seven years or so, I've been exploring different geographic areas of interest until I narrowed down the area I wanted, based on my criteria. As gasoline topped $4.50 a gallon (the first time) I decided I didn't like the $250...
