I've been a follower on GJ for a couple years now but never really participated in the forum...thought I'd break the ice with a new garage build. We spent the last couple months designing this with a local architect, recently locked in a GC and started work a couple days ago. Being a car guy, this is a dream build for me - wish I could have gone bigger but setback limits and budget helped define the overall size. We should have plenty of space as we do not have over sized vehicles - MK6 GTI and 2013 Touareg.
Long story short is that our current single car garage will be converted into an office and bathroom as well as some prep work for the remainder of the basement (future project). We'll be building an attached 26x28x10 2 car garage as well as adding on to our entry way and new stairs to the basement, which will tie into next years project.
Some of the details regarding the garage:
* (2) 9x8 front doors
* (1) 8x7 rear door (reused from old garage)
* Insulated doors and walls - drywall
* Sealed floor (still researching options)
* LED lighting (still researching options)
* 2 post lift - leaning towards Dannmar M6, so I can easily move it as needed
* NG Heater (still researching options)
* Above the garage will be attic space for time being, with pull down stairs.
Anyways, just wanted to provide a brief overview and hope you enjoy the pictures and progress. Certainly open to any suggestions along the way!
"Before" picture as well as a 3D view and plan overview of the new build are attached below. We already had a large oak tree removed as well as the landscaping in the impacted area...in the "before" picture.
