Bella Garage – Texas
I joined the Garage Journal in 2005 and posted photos of my garage, cars, car shows, etc. ever since. My garage at that time and up to January 2013 was a 2-car, less than 20 x 20 in size and located in the Fort Lauderdale area. The following is one photo of that garage that may be familiar to some of you.
During January 2013 my wife and I sold our South Florida home of 20 years, retired and relocated to the Fort Worth, Texas area to be near our grandkids. It took us more than a year to finally close on the lot we would build our new dream home on. We are located southwest of Fort Worth on a beautiful one and a quarter acre corner piece of property with awesome views in every direction.
As car freak and a member of this Forum you know the garage was important and certainly was going to be bigger and better than I left in Florida, but after all everything is bigger in Texas. I had been thinking about what I wanted in garage for some time and after finding the right builder my dreams are becoming reality.
The garage will feature an eighteen foot garage door and a nine, both insulated. The main garage is 25 x 34 with twelve foot high ceilings. There will be one storage room that is eight by thirteen and a shop/tool area that is eight by twelve. An additional utility/storage room is seven by eleven that has our hot water heater, water tank, water softener, etc. located in it with additional storage available. The entrance from the garage into the house also has an area seven by eleven. The single side of the garage will have a four post Direct Lift Pro Park 8S located in it.
Floor Plan
I wanted to wait to start this ongoing post until I had progress to show. Dirt work began early in June.
Ready for concrete.
Slab poured.
Framing.
Remembering I am located on corner Iot, streets are expected to be poured this week.
Please check back for often updates…Mike
