Welcome to the new modern performance garage, a continuation of the existing garage.
First, the wife and I had been looking for a new house for a while. While large lots aren't too rare here, finding the right lot proved to be a challenge. After a few false starts, and near misses (by buying the wrong house in a HOA subdivision) I was close to giving up. Then the perfect house landed in our lap. Best part, NO HOA!
We had looked at this one last summer and wrote it off because it didn't have enough land. Then I found out that the adjoining parcel was also for sale from the same owner, so we went back and I put in an offer to buy the whole thing - and after a little back and forth (about 10 minutes), we came to agreement. I had a real estate attorney write up a purchase agreement and we just closed last week. I now have 1.5 acres.
Well, this thread is about garages, so here's my current garage. It has a 25x30 3-car garage. It's good for the daily drivers but not much else. As it sits today, soon to house three cars.
And here's the location for the future garage. Working out the final details now, but looking at a 40x30 garage with oversize doors (3), and attic trusses with fixed stairs. This will come shortly.
I'll park my trucks in the detached garage, and soon to add another truck. Also picked up a trailer at the Tractor Supply to move some things around.
And this local alligator was lost and sitting right behind the hedges at the store. Took the dogs for a pee-pee break and they could have been his snack.
Here's a shot of my little buddies checking out the new driveway.
And finally, I put the MS-290 to hard work Saturday clearing a number of dead trees for firewood and smoking wood.

You might want to look on CL for a different heavier duty trailer. Might be able to pick up a bigger one on CL.
